Of course it does.
For example, if there will be identical footage on BluRay, then I will try and re-use it. For example, if the end credits of Part 1 are identical to the BluRay end credits, I could use these instead. Same for the opening of Part 2 (if it is the same as Part 1, that is).

I am curious if the 576i source will be of better quality than the (very good) NTSC LD by RidgeShark. 😃

My next step will be gettin the BluRay (the steelbook I preordered is scheduled for Oct 12th) and match the colors, the noise level and the framing of the LD source to the Blu.
