I noticed this a few weeks ago while trying to come up with the minimal cropping needed for GOUT. Is this the only scene with this defect?

I actually don't know, I just happened to stumble upon this one as it was one of the parts in the Technidisc transfer that was in need of AR-correction.

Here's a color correction test I did on it a few weeks ago:

A vast improvement but still not happy with it, might need to go into RGB color space if I'm going to get satisfactory results. Haven't worked on this lately as I'm occupied with THX whenever the time allows it. I think I'll junk the sharpening applied on my test samples for my final encode as I wasn't happy at all with how it looked on my CRT-TV, looks better at first glance but then you realize you've just added a fake sense of detail, looks artificial, at least on my CRT but looks pretty good on my LCD-screen though. I'll however need to get rid of those horrible lobster faces. One thing I find very troublesome with regards to hues and timing is that even if the clips look ok on your calibrated PC monitor, the calibrated TV sometimes show you something different. I recently realized this when going through my settings on the THX 1138 LD. :(

I did however notice that this shot seems vertically stretched in the 2004 DVD:

or should I say it seems squished in the original as the 2004 is a fresh scan from the negative and is likely more accurate, the '97SE source I checked matched the GOUT and Technidisc, haven't investigated this further and I'm not entirely sure about this one yet.
