On a slighly seperate issue, what are your thoughts on the saturation of these screencaps, keeping in mind that these preview screencaps are always a little more saturated than the encode itself? Do you think that I should also release a version of Star Wars with more muted colours like the screencaps I posted for poita before or should I just stick with just releasing this more colourful release?

I'm torn on this because taken together the settings in post 8 which were more muted have a more natural blend/balance to them. They look like a naturally faded print (natural but unexciting). With the new settings while some of the individual shots look really really good some of them look a bit unnatural/corrected.

On my EC2 release (available now folks!!) I went for more saturation/more boosted/exciting so I could bring up certain scenes to shine and the over-boosted scenes: well I just have to sit through. (But I've got some additonial VLC settings which I can toggle on and off, so if I want to take it down to a more faded print look again). In the end, you've got choose what you want it to look like based on what you can get, because from what I can see even the same print frame can look different based on the light behind it/how its projected/captured. So even if you could say X print is the definitive version there would still be several ways to present it - I may get flak for saying this but there can never be a truly exact version, because film is organic and changes in time.
