Yeah, I realise the colour timings have seemingly always been off on the home video releases. Those Technicolor caps look fantastic, so I'll be sure to look at getting DarkJedi's V3 project - thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Thing is... I'm looking to own the best possible legal version of the OOT, flawed as they all are. Now, I have actually been a bastard and torrented Harmy's Despecialized versions even though I've never paid Lucasfilm for the OOT (I do have the Blu-rays), but I'd still like to legally own as good home video versions of the OOT as possible. And I can't really tell whether I should get the Laserdiscs (and a decent player, obviously) or the GOUT. Especially since I'm in a PAL territory here, and I've read that the PAL version of GOUT is nothing but a converted NTSC transfer.

So my question still stands. I do get that if I want a 100% accurate representation of the original theatrical versions, there are multiple great restorations here. But if I want the best possible legal home video presentation of the OOT, what should I get?
