Vertigo colours

Intro

Individual frames taken directly from the DVD VOB files without any processing or ratio correction.

To the best of my knowledge, there have only ever been 3 differing transfers of the film:

1. the original anamorphic PAL transfer from 2000, used for all PAL releases worldwide
2. the original US DVD NTSC transfer from 2001
3. the anamorphic NTSC transfer used for the US "Masterpiece" collection release in 2005 and the US "Legacy" release in 2008, which seems to be regarded as the best

The HDnet 1080i broadcast transfer appears to have the same source as the "Masterpiece" transfer (likely the HD scan prepared by Lowry Digital in 2004/5).
