Does anyone have any direct screen shots from the LD's themselves? Not the bootlegs of the LD's, to compare them to?
Watching the '06 GOUT ANH disc, I noticed a considerable amount of grain in alot of the scenes.
Especially the Tantive attack, and on Tatooine.
I don't have a LD player anymore, so I can't put the Faces LD's I have in, for direct comparison.
But I don't remember the LD's having that much grain.
Is it simply because the DVD reveals the imperfections of the transfer?
I had read on one of the other SW forums that some people think that Lucas intentionally "grained" up the GOUT DVD's in order to further detract their quality from the 2004 SE DVD's.
That seems silly to me, but with Lucas I never rule out anything.
Tales From The Bounty Hunters, Shadows Of The Empire, The Thrawn series, the Dark Empire 1 & 2 Comics series.
There are other cool things out there, but really... nothing else other than the above, holds anything interesting or fun for me.
The '97's because they are less removed from the OT than the 2004 editions, but also, the 2004 editions because I just can't argue with picture and sound quality. :)
That's cool.
I was also trying to find out if the "Faces" THX LD's are the same transfer as the Definitive Collection LD's, or are they yet another remastering of them?
I was wondering how accurate to the Definitive Collection LD picture and sound, the OUT DVD's are?
I saw the screen shots comparison thread here, and they are great pictures, but they're not being shown on a large screen tv, so I can't tell if the image would hold up on a larger display, and also I don't have the Definitive Collection LD's or a LD player to compare them to myself.
Can anyone answer the"technical" specs between the two, and if the image quality is the same, better, or worse than the LD's?
Thanks!
And btw, hello everyone!
