Seeding, looking for: and upconversion questions

Hi all.

I have three questions.

First, I've searched for Dr. M's and Citizen's DL versions of the OT and have had no luck. Could someone please PM me and let me know where I can find the torrents for them?

Second, I'm a network administrator at a university, so I'm sitting on a 10 gigabit fibre to the internet. I have a gig at my desktop, unthrottled. I can seed like a mad man if people would like to let me get involved. Just let me know. I'd LOVE to help get these great transfers out.

Third, I have a Sony SXRD Wega Television and a Pioneer DVL-919 laserdisc player. As you can imagine, LD's look terrible on my display. I get a little tiny window in the center of the display showing the movie...obviously due to resolution limitation of the source material. Has anyone heard of any mechanism that will take my laserdisc output and upconvert it 1080i over HDMI or Component Cables, in a similar fashion to the upconverting that some HDMI equipped DVD players do? I have a sony upconverting dvd player and it does an amazing job. It makes it very easy to hold out for a winner in the HD-DVD vs Bluray war, in case any of you were considering buying one.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and/or respond.

PM's turned on.

Thank you for the PM directing me to Demonoid for the Dr. M versions (wish there were seeders). Still looking for the Citizen versions. Will gladly do PIF or a standard B&P.
Thanks again guys/girls.

Well a true upscaler costs hell of a lot of money and really wouldn't be worth it for laserdisc. your TV has a built in upscaler because it has to upscale the source resolution to the tv's native resolution. The Wega Tv should have different viewing modes. 4:3, 16:9, Wide Zoom, Normal, Full, Zoom so if by having a tiny picture in the middle of the screen you mean the video is 4:3 letterbox then just change the setting to the one that will stretch the picture to fill the screen but keeping the correct aspect ratio. The resulting picture you get will be almost as good as any upscaler can produce and will save you a lot of money.
