I own this LD. However, I can not transfer it.

I anyone is up to the task to transfer it.

Not sure if you have to have a PAL LD player? anyone know anything about these Japan LD’s?

This version of Albert Pyuns’ milestone in the cyborg action genre is a lot less known than the original cinema release although it offers some new or extended scenes. The ending is also much shorter but there is an alternative ending scene which is darker and more open than the original. </span>

if it's japanese laserdisc, then the video is ntsc and not pal. so anyone with a good player and the right capture tools can do it.

wasn't there talk about a blu-ray release with this version? i might be mistaken. if i was, then a proper preservation of a your ld would be sweet - clean sd video with lossless audio :)

I own the Japan LD of Nemesis too, but can't transfer it either.

I have to say though, I prefer the flashier, stop-motion ending of the U.S. version. The electronic masking of nudity on the Japanese LD is also a bummer. Perhaps some enterprising soul could whip up a hybrid cut?

As zeropc said, Japan is NTSC.

Albert Pyun the director has released a hybrid type cut already to bluray but this one differs....

Thanks for the info on the NTSC. 

 

and yes he does need a hybrid but I am not into fan edits...

This movie is on TV now and I've never heard of it. Looks ace! 

I'm glad there is some interest here because it would be good to see it in widescreen.  I went off to look up this Director's Cut and found this clip - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unJOqA46YQg

Major cropping! Some of the framing looks really cramped.

Is this what the laserdisc is like?
