Aren't these two statements contradictory?Originally posted by: boris
The PAL LD's *do* have more detail in them, however it can be speculated that even though this is the case they were still resized from NTSC resolution.
Please explain how this is possible.

Making our own 35mm preservation--my crazy proposal
Time
Anyone who'd buy a telecine just to make a home video version of Star Wars would be insane. If I had that money lying around to spare, I'd buy a 35mm projector and a '77 dye-transfer print.

As far as renting goes, "who's gonna fly it kid, you?" Telecine operators are well-paid because they are extremely well qualified. You'd have to have a professional at your disposal to get worthwhile results.
