Thanks! I thought the arrival on Tatooine was especially enhanced compared to the grainy GOUT when I watched it on my HDTV. The colors looked suprisingly crisp, and the degraining really brought out the detail on C3PO and R2D2. It seems the grain and artifact filters I implemented also reduces the aliasing to a certain degree.

Looks like there are some interesting developments in the Laserdisc capturing world. I noticed on their threads that Laserdisc Master and althor1138 are also refining their techniques. I remember reading about the X0 project a few years back and being really impressed with the quality of their combined captures. They showed it was certainly possible to get a better quality result than the GOUT. These new developments suggest the GOUT may have some serious competition in the near future.
