Just for fun, here are three captures from the same JSC disc all using the same player, a HLD-X9.

Has someone transferred the Special Collection set on a really high end player such as the X9 yet?

It's the best source of the original versions without the DVNR smearing on the THX master (and thus the unaltered dvd's).

I know the X0 project captured the Special Collection on the X0 and was hoping to merge it with the THX discs so they could remove all the DVNR and then restore any damage to the video image.

I would think having a high quality rip of the JSC would be ideal if anyone wanted to use it for a future restoration project, or perhaps the merging technology the X0 team was utilizing will become more accessible on consumer equipment some day.
