I have the Canopus ADVC 300 and its a nice tool and really cleans up and stablises the source but its still a 5:1 compression and I want to squeeze every last drop of detail out of these discs.

Make sure it's the Extreme if you're going to buy it (the lower models only accept composite and/or SDI). RCA to BNC adaptors will work just fine.
I'm thinking of buying a LD player and the Faces edition to give a go at my own set. I thinking of using an AJA Io to convert either the composite or S-Video signal into 10-bit SDI (which has a tight TBC and some exceptionally clean converters internally), feeding that to a Kona system, and digitizing everything at 8bit Uncompressed. It'll eat up room like gangbusters, but we have terrabytes of firewire lying around. I could bust through 3:2 pulldown in Shake pretty quickly, make the letterbox a nice pure black, and apply color corrections with a SDI ready Sony BVM (the absolute highest grade broadcast CRT made.)
