@nightstalkerpoet: Thanks for that, very helpful indeed, you confirmed what I was thinking. 1 is the saturation of the release that I just pulled, 2 is with the lightsaber saturation boosted slightly. That second clip is the only lightsaber scene where I think the saturation was just about right already, the other scenes require a slight boost using the settings of 2.
@kitt1987: Thanks but there's no longer any need, I set this off encoding last night just after reading nightstalkerpoet's post confirming what I felt. Its very useful to get this lightsaber saturation issue out of the way now with the first film because I now have a reference for what the saturation of the lightsabers should be like in ESB and ROTJ.
