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.

MPEG has some defects, but for sure the fact that Tatooine scenes color are messed up is not MPEG's fault... infact, the colors are almost the same on laserdisc... someone wrote about the fact is involved with the telecine conversion.

I just finished to process the video part - medianed, color corrected, sharpened, denoised, upscaled - now it's just a matter of converting the video to AVC or MPEG2.

I'll post some new clips soon; I will use YouTube too this time.
