If they are using anything from the Orange Box set, then I really feel bad for them. If anything, they should have used the Blu-ray release. The R2 Dragon Box was a really clean copy that we were left jealous of the source they used. I do remember seeing that and being impressed. It was at that point that they decided to go back and transfer the prints they had again. The original transfer was protected for NTSC broadcast, so a lot of limiting would have been done. Blacks at 7.5IRE and video levels set to 100IRE. They may have pushed the chroma to 110IRE, but I can't remember. It's been a really long time since I've seen them on a scope. They also edited them without protecting the film cadence which made a progressive DVD difficult. The quality of the Blu-ray release was about as good as it was going to get with the 16mm prints provided as source.
