I'll spend the rest of the night playing around with the color correction of the first 10 minutes of ANH. My captured footage from last night...
manually IVTC'd via VirtualDubMod
de-ghosted with Laserschwert's last remedy
resized and run through MSU Denoiser and Smart Sharpen
...looks very good and has a lot more detail than I've seen in any of my captures so far. I can't wait to see what my new LD player can do along with the Sima unit Ash is sending me.
