I’ve got a question regarding the ROTJ-Grindhouse: Why exactly is it the best option to leave missing frames black, instead of just holding the previous frame? I’m pretty sure a little stutter would be less distracting than a blackout…

I agree with that. If it’s only a couple frames, I’m actually a fan of slowing down a few of the adjacent frames and frameblending, but I realize that’s controversial (you end up with fewer total pure frames, but it views better).

It’s not only a couple of frames, so holding over previous frames would introduce the image freezing very noticeably. And interpolating frames could work for low motion shots but the point of a Grindhouse release is that it’s pure with no alterations - And when working on a cleaned version, rather than introducing an alteration like that, it would proabably be purer to just replace the shots with the BD, if they were not altered.

I mean, I think the ideal for viewing purposes in some cases is to alter the audio. But, as we were reminded from TN1’s last release, this community is large and international/interlingual, so there are big benefits to having GOUT sync. And, especially for a grindhouse release, some visual imperfections like black frames aren’t the end of the world.
