I think we could have 2 versions of SWHS :
- the short cut 72min (as it aired in France)
- the long cut 97min (without any publicities)
We should use :
- WHIO v2 videos (unless a better source comes out)
- setting it to Zion Hybrid colors/luminosity
- sharpening the result to be on par or be better than Zion Hybrid
- making a US/Spain/Rifftrax/French (adding the missing passages in english for the french one) version
- using the HD remade cartoon part
- adding the publicities in bonus or as a third release
- for the dvd menu maybe we could consider meco starwars disco remix which honestly rocks : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWI2mPREHFQ
Then we could add subtitles in english/spanish/french/... for the main one + french on english passages for the long cut
I personnaly think some mkvs would be better nowadays than ISOs but both could be made.
I think we should start doing this without working on the image sharpness first which should be done in last after a "work" release since it'll require quite some try and errors (but it could be done by someone in the mean time.
At this point I have no plan of doing a V3 unless a better source for the commercials surfaces. While the Zion Hybrid is great, it was over sharpened in my opinion. As for matching the color and luminosity, keep in mind that the source for the Zion Hybrid was a second generation copy and the saturation and brightness are not true to the original source because of this. As for the rest of what's listed I think MediaMogul did an excellent job of combining the HD cartoon, rifftrax and Zion menus with the WHIO video.
