Sure, but because of the resources Lucasfilm has available the laserdisc was the worst source available for an OUT, and was completely outdated.

I know, which is why I said it wasn't nearly as good as it could've been (i.e., it could have been an anamorphic 16:9 transfer from a new 4K film scan, had they invested the time and money). However, it was still a lot better than anything else we had at the time (in terms of the video stream, which is the critical part, because better quality audio streams have long been available and are easily added).

I think the GOUT looks great on the type of display that 4:3 DVDs were intended for (4:3 CRT TV, preferably one with component [YPbPr] inputs).
