YouToo, you are right, this is the 2004 version, forgive me... I found it many months ago and forgot what version was... the script auto-adjust the image, so in some scenes is really good, in others is not... a good compromise if someone don't want to adjust a video frame by frame, or scene by scene.
OK, maybe the last (and only) try of WhiteMagic with HDTV failed, and maybe is better I give up and make no more experiment with HDTV...
I'm afraid the script doesn't improve so much an HDTV video, but it was intended to be used with a laserdisc capture, and tailored to it...
Look at this GIF; raw capture of the worst letterbox laserdisc edition, the so-called "pyramid" french non-THX, and four early stages of the script:

The colors are still not right, and the resolution is not comparable to real HD, but after all, it is not bad, if you think the original video is captured from a low quality laserdisc...
And look what WhiteMagic did with GOUT:

taken from DVD stream plus WhiteMagic 0.6 & dedicated resize

Maybe WhiteMagic will be quite good cleaning the 1997 laserdisc special edition, if someone is still interested in this project nowadays...
Well, here you are the other HDTV screenshot links (totally random):
