As I understand it, the 2004 & 2011 releases suffer from “crushed blacks”, where areas which previously contained varying levels of darkness have been flattened to straight blackness, losing detail.

I was wondering… would it be possible to replace those crushed areas with the equivalent areas from DJ’s V3 or some similar source? Obviously those areas would be blurry compared to the rest of the frame, but at the same time they are awfully dark, so perhaps it wouldn’t be as noticeable.

Thoughts from people who actually know what they’re talking about would be great.
