So here is a question that comes to mind. What is the source? What has been done to get to the file that we are using super resolution on. Has it been cropped from the DVD rip? Is it the NTSC or PAL DVD? Has any noise reduction or smoothing been done to it, color correction, or other cleanup? In order for multiple people to render this and for it to come out matching, the source file should be the same.

Dre has done most of his work on a raw rip of the NTSC GOUT, I believe. He was encoding one version from a version of the GOUT that I did, with some manually cleaned up dirt/scratches.

Using the RAW GOUT would be a better idea if this is going to be divided up among many people, because folks already have it or can get it. The cleaned up version version (if anyone even wanted to use it) is huge (as it needs to be exported losslessly) and impractical for the approach being discussed.
