Recalling the goal of these 16mm projects… first and foremost, their purpose is to provide another source of data for people researching details about the movies. So I think it’s important to make them easy to get and easy to watch, and to include only the original footage and audio with as few changes as possible. They aren’t intended to be the greatest movie-going experience.

I have always been happy to make the raw captures available to anyone with an actual use for them.

With this in mind, I think that it’s more important to fit a doc describing the capture, etc., than to include the laserdisc audio. If I can fit the latter I will, otherwise, I’ll just stick with the optical audio.

This is not to say that future projects at much higher resolution won’t happen… more on that later.

Working on the doc tomorrow…
