Is anyone interested in improving the GOUT DVDs as best as possible? I’ve seen several threads detailing how to do stabilizing, colour correcting and upscaling the image of these versions but I can’t seem to find a single restoration project that does all this for all three movies.
I know that Moth3r did something similar for the GOUT Star Wars, but it’s only for the first film 😦
As far as laserdisc rips of the '93 Definitive Collector’s Edition go, the GOUT is the best, it might not be what we expected but I’m yet to come across a better rip to start this project with.
What I’m suggesting is something like this:
1. use the retail PAL GOUT as a basis because it has slightly more resolution
2. stabilize and colour correct the image, and remove grain as much as possible (just compare these colour corrected images with the original GOUT: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Methods-for-colour-matching-colour-grading/post/336687/#TopicPost336687)
3. create custom AC3 5.1 soundtrack based on the '97SE laserdiscs and '93 Collector’s Edition
4. make them as 3 DVD9s
I’m not much of an AV editor myself but from what I’ve seen on these forums I know it’s not a question of if it’s possible but rather if anyone wants to do this?
So are there any dedicated AV’ers out there who want to do this?
Thanks,
