http://www.originaltrilogy.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=9&threadid=6848A problem with horizontal field movement during the telecine process caused 'jaggies' in the Definitive Collection transfer. Instead of fixing this properly, i.e. making a sub-pixel horizontal adjustment between the fields, the DVD has been mastered with a vertical blur to mask the jaggie effect.

Oh, I missed that thread. Vertical blur? Well, the jaggies are still very visible so it didn't even help + the picture is now more blurry...

The first one, which most of your screens above are from, is a bit clearer and you can see the lines quite distinctly. The second shot, which your PAL GOUT and EditDroid screens are from, is not as clear and the lines are harder to make out. The X0 raw capture does look clearer than your GOUT shots. The final X0 will obviously look even better.

Looked at that image in photoshop, the height of that section of stripes is only 18 pixels, 5.5 percent of the height of that image. Nothing short of an HD source is going to show that kind of detail.

That image has been resized which will decrease detail and looks a little too soft. What did you use to capture the frame?
VideoLan. But I cropped in Iview and added the red circle in paint. So the picture is probably softer than what's on the dvd.
I'll check which shot we are using and get back to you, but there are only 270 odd lines so the resolution of backround areas is also a problem on our captures.

Thanks. I noticed the Editdroid version has slightly more detail than the PAL GOUT so that made me wonder.

I had the 5 star set but sold it again because the quality sucks (being dvd9 doesn't add quality in this case). I had the "original" factory pressed bootleg bought on ebay from someone in Hong Kong. It has a DTS track but the quality is just so bad (audio volume going up and down in the middle of a scene, stuff like that). It's no use looking for this set unless you don't want to watch it but want it as a Star Wars item on your shelf.

Why do you want the OOT with SE audio?
The SE audio has laserblast and a lot of other sounds that don't match the image even if the scene is the same number of frames.

Note the corresponding picture, dating back to 1820. My personal opinion, not that I'd know, is that the shape and texture of a tentacle is very much pleasing inside of a woman's hoohoo.

Looks like that octopussy isn't using his tentacles too much but more his parrot beak. Doesn't look very pleasing to me

What is it you want to do exactly? Do you just want to rip the video and audio files of the main movie to you hdd so you can edit them in womble? Or do you also need deleted scenes or something from the dvd?

I compared a few frames to the GOUT and noticed it's cropped quite a bit in some places.

That's what I would call noise/grain.
I don't know a good way to remove it without introducing other problems.
