Seeding the Italian cut now.
The Blu-ray contains crushed blacks and sometimes just crushed in one channel (most often Red), but I'll go into video processing help when I need it (would it be incorrect to assume I can fill in the crushed blacks with the LD?).
Is the Japanese Pan-and-Scan LD being worked on? I've found a few shots already with the Italian cut where stitching the pan-and-scan image is possible (the unaltered holograms as a primary example), but it is a truncated edit with heavy print damage including tape splices, fluctuating brightness levels and missing frames.
Or, even weirder question: is it possible to use a TooT/Median-style filter to accomplish that type of stitching?
