I don't see a lot of difference really.
The Image is a fraction darker, and has fractionally stronger colour, but you'd barely notice unless comparing like this.
It's of course worth pointing out that the Image doesn't contain the original language track, so that immediately rules it out.
I'd like to see a comp for HAVE SWORD WILL TRAVEL.

The Image releases are PAL conversions as all of the Shaw masters were created in PAL for TV -- but Image have converted them back to NTSC speed hence the longer than IVL run time. The IVL's have the same standards conversion flaws as their DVDs are NTSC also -- although they haven't been time corrected. Some of the German DVD releases were native PAL.

I know Image are PAL conversions, I just wondered if it was the same as IVL (improper with ghosting, fake anamorphic and combing) . But you've confirmed it's proper NTSC, so that's fine, what's not so fine is the lack of Cantonese and the combing (is it interlaced or progressive) - some other issues too.

IVLs have combing due to interlacing and ghosting on any display due to standards conversion flaws. They don't look very good. I think with Image we may loose the ghosting but I don't want to confuse anyone - or myself! - until I've seen one for myself

You lot been wearing Bradavon's glasses or something? Ignoring Interlacing issues, Image's release is fractionally darker and that is the only difference in those grabs. The percieved "colour difference" is down to the difference in brightness.

Yeah we had a lot of discussion about LCD screens on the comparison of King Kong.

The thing is, there's no reason why they can't take a progressive PAL master, such as what we saw on the Australian DVDs, and convert that to an NTSC speed master. Only a moron - or the guys at Celetial - would make an NTSC speed master out of an existing PAL-NTSC conversion!
