"As you can see, the Spider set has less detail and vibrant color."
That also looks like a problem with the 2-3 pulldown. I wonder how his DVD recorder deals with that? I would presume it's copying that effect straight off the laserdisc.
"This shot shows an example of those "vertical lines" that appear sometimes on the TR47 set."
Well, they are not quite the same scene (althought second one is.) Are you referring to the "stair-step" effect in Vader's lightsaber?
