All I can say is..............WOW, that sure is pink .....

Yeah! There are also a few places where other colours are over-saturated in parts of the frame. It also has a chroma shift problem that has to be fixed in AviSynth, else you have grey lines on the sides of faces and such.

It has the best resolution of all the laserdiscs, the most frames accounted for and the most colour problems, unfortunately (sometimes the colour is excellent in places, though). I am, however, convinced they're all fixable, it will just take a few days of work that I haven't really put into it yet.

I'm also convinced, as far as ANH goes, that this is the source with the least amount of missing frames (the US version has more missing frames/fields, broadcast versions are missing a few frames at least) as I think its only actually missing 1 frame. I've not doubt I'll corrected if I'm wrong, but from what I can remember of my last attempts to capture of this set a few months ago, that was the number I came up with.
