In terms of quality, remember also that the LD sources for the original versions of the films, are themselves transfers from unrestored footage. While superior to VHS (obviously), they seem a bit muddy, and certainly show more damage than either the restored '97 footage, or the FURTHER restored and repaired upcomming DVDs. And since any transfer from LD to DVD (9 or otherwise) will have to be compressed somewhat, I wonder how much of a difference the extra filesize really will make. Is it going to be noticeable?
