One problem is I'm comparing anamorphic pal to non-anamorphic ntsc, so the official version has 30% more resolution, and no 2:3 pulldown, and that alone makes a huge difference.

-edit- 30% more resolution? Anamorphic NTSC is 17% less resolution... Non-Anamorphic NTSC is 38% less resolution...

Official Anamorphic PAL DVDs use 432 lines. The non-anamorphic NTSC laserdiscs use 276 lines... which makes the actuall LD resolution 36% less than the official (PAL) DVDs.
