From the Van Ling chat:
VanLing: THX maintains that there was in fact NO edge enhancement used in the trasfer of Ep1. That being said, I've had a lot of discussions with Rick Dean, the head of THX's Digital Mastering Program, and he really wants to find out what people are perceiving to be EE and he want's to do a workshop here in Los Angeles where we go through the entire process of going from film to tape with an audience and showing that there is no edge enhancement being done, and to get to what people think they are seeing. I've suggested that when this workshop happens, that folks from all over get in on it. I've suggested they invite whomever's interested from HTF (and can afford to fly themselves out to LA).
So my big question is: What is it then? What is it on "The Phantom Menace" DVD that looks *exactly* like heavy edge enhancement, that has fooled many of us, including experts in-detail video analysis, but yet it isn't... Anyone care to enlighten me?
Take a look at Bjoerns analysis for details:

So if the workshop ever happens, be sure to report back to this board/thread, because I'm really curious about this strange phenomenon. Or maybe THX is just full of crap, who knows?
