According to blamld the VHD version was not time compressed (nor was the 1983 Japanese CLV)

Interesting... can you confirm this, Poita? The problem with the '83 Japanese CLV would be the subtitles.

We want you to be aware that we have no plans—now or in the future—to restore the earlier versions.

I can check the runtime of it tonight. It does come on 3 Sides, so it most likely is not time compressed.

You have a VHD player? *faints*

I did a transfer of the pan and scan CLV a while back so reave would have something else to patch his HBO restoration with. (I didn't keep a copy for myself though.) The same time compressed master was used for both.

Yes, I did some 3D VHD transfers a while back and had to buy a VHD player to use.

I captured my '82 P&S Laserdisc last night. There is a problem with side 1.  There is noise in the audio and the video is a little bit noisy as well.  Side 2 seems pretty much ok.  I can encode this and release it if anybody is interested.  I'm not going to spend the time IVTC'ing this because as Mallwalker said it is quite maddening. I've managed to get rid of the interlacing at least with the tfm filter. With that being said, I found it quite watchable as long as you don't mind the noisy audio. 

Standard Def 480P or Upscaled to 720P like your Japan Special collection set?

It's standard definition.

Confirmed that the VHD is *not* time compressed, but does have burned in sub-titles.

Interesting! I wonder if it was struck from the same master used for the 1982 VHS and 1985 CAV LD...

Some screenshots comparing Starkiller and althor1138 for 1982 P&S LD. I shifted the latter capture 6px to the left to match the first one.

Too bad side 1 is so noisy on my capture.  I can see there are some blown-out whites in starkiller but it seems like a pretty good transfer of this LD.
