Well, all that work I did on the TR47 ANH and it is for naught. I found a better way and got better, less yellow, results for both the GOUT and TR47 (they are nearly identical in color to begin with, TR47 is just a bit darker - I assume from whatever color correction was done when it was captured). I have recolored the GOUT OT (from the PAL dvd's) and they are very watchable and the DNR smearing is tolerable. I want to fix that, but that step is a lot of work. I have to get the JSC versions color corrected first.

In the mean time, I am going to work on aligning all the ANH soundtracks and see if I can burn a AVCHD disk with both opening crawls and maybe both end credits and all the soundtracks that interest me. I'm contemplating making my own mix that would be stereo, but closer to the mono mix. No DTS for now. I'm not ready to wrap my head around 6 channels yet. I'm going to start with the 93 version, mix in the tractor beam line from the 85 version, and the see about Beru and some of the other changes directly from the mono. Music and effects could pose a challenge for some, but I'm also going to look at the BR stereo soundtrack to see how it compares since that was a fresh mix, supposedly closer to the mono (except for Beru).

Ever closer.
