Screen shots don't do this restoration justice. Watching this side by side with a GOUT transfer, this is way more watchable.

Of course, I've not been able to find a JSC transfer to compare it to :(

UPDATE: Burned and tested on my HDTV. This is now officially my go-to theatrical Star Wars.

I wouldn't call it a restoration but that's not a bad bit of praise you gave it. Is it really watchable on a HDTV? I cannot fully enjoy this one myself due to some wonky colors and contrast issues that bothers me but the positive feedback makes me even more willing to do an improved one later. :)

I definitely recommend you to check out arnie.d's "V8", it's still up on the newsgroup, I think there's also a single layer of it on demonoid but I do recommend the original authored one.

Sorry, I ment preservation.

It is far from perfect I know, but the lack of smearing really stands out and I like that it reminds me of watching my VHS without looking like total crap. And the specs of dirt and scratches really make it look like film to me even if its an older transfer as oposed to the over processed mess on the GOUT.

I'm pulling the demonoid version now. If it looks like something I would watch regularly then I'll look into the newsgroup version. Thanks.
