I hate to bring this up, but the laserdiscs from which the masters were
made were THX-certified. It was a requirement for THX-certification for
laserdiscs that the original telecine be done in high-def, and then the
laserdisc master be created from a down-conversion of that telecine.
This is also true for THX-certifed DVDs, so if the DVDs released this
fall are THX-certified, then there *must* be high-def masters somewhere.
