Interesting project. I've always wondered how a "good" laserdisc transfer would really look with some work, and this appears to be exactly that :)
One of the things I've always hated with MPEG2 direct transfers is color shift. Especially during Tatooine scenes. There are some cases where the color shifting in some versions is just out of hand - pink, to green, to red, to the tan/gold-like color of what it should be. I guess some MPEG encoders just can't handle some colors very well.
Anyway, I'll check some of the other clips later - sendspace is going sloooow for me right now ;)
Curious to see how this turns out!
