I know when I did my transfer of all three films they were ~65GB per film using lossless (a must IMHO) HuffyUV codec. I had ZERO dropped frames and manually (mathmatically and dealing with pattern breaks) deinterlaced it all. The problem was that I was using an ATI card which I KNOW wasn't giving me the best possible results. My LD player also was the Pioneer DVL919 which was the last generation made and was likely made with the cheapest possible parts as LD had all but died at that point.
I'm just curious. I can't wait for Zion's release as it has the most potential in my opinion as he seems to have the highest standards in terms of uncompromising quality (anamorphic 16x9, dual-layer, best screen cap results, audio options, lack of annoying "branding" etc,) but having the best "source" to play with myself is something I'd also be interested in. Not to mention that lossless compressed AVI would be useful for future (post-DVD) archival.
