No worries, I would've replied yesterday but was too tired.

I've tried several different LD sources before, and the problem is that there's not enough resolution to make them look good in HD. Not at all like the GOUT does now anyway.

Because even if the JSC has no smearing, the master still has the same aliasing as the GOUT (which I suspect is because it's missing one field. For some reason I've seen many LD masters of other things with the exact same problem) and they've also brightened some dark scenes and stuff. On top of that, put the fact that all the grain and dirt is there and then put the analog noise and rainbowing that is common with LDs.

There is simply no way we'd ever use an LD as a source for a project. And after these three are all released, I seriously don't think me and DJ ever wanna work with Star Wars again. Not to this extent at least. It's been extremely time consuming and exhausting.

Let's hope Disney will wait for Mike. Nuff said. :)
