I found the compression artifacts on the original TR47 set to be pretty awful, it was the worst feature of the original TR47 set. (I'm not dissing it, that was just the thing I liked least about the set, and the other bootlegs). It is paticularly noticable in the closeup scenes of the xwing canopies etc. Perhaps its just because I watch it on a big screen that it is particularly noticable, but it is common to all the DVD5 bootlegs I have seen, and is a noticable step down in PQ from the laserdiscs.
With DVD9 blanks being cheaper than purchasing a movie, I don't see the point in going DVD5... Are people here really so cheap that they won't shell out 10 bucks for an excellent copy of any of the OT movies in the best possible quality? Or is it that Dual Layer sets would be less profitable for a seller?
The only reason I can see now for a DVD5 version is if your DVD player won't play a DL DVD+R.
Still though, there is plenty of room to improve on the existing DVD5 sets, I'm looking forward to seeing this one!
