Congrats on the German set. That along with english audio from one of the other DC sets should provide the ultimate transfer, if done properly. Would love to have the set myself, but then I'd have to also buy a PAL player. Just can't get myself to do it (yet, maybe for Christmas). My dream transfer I'd like to do is the video from the German set framerate corrected to 24fps and slightly scaled up to NTSC anamorphic resolution and synced up to the english audio digitally captured from the NTSC DC set. I'm not even close, though. I have all the computer hard/software needed, but don't have the German set, a PAL player or even an NTSC player with PCM out to cap the audio. I keep watching the 2004 DVDs trying to get used to them so I can let go of this expensive & time consuming dream, but it has the opposite effect. The more I watch them, the more I cringe and want to do the "ultimate" transfer. I have the DC NTSC set and a Pioneer LD-V8000, which together look great on my 27" TV, but they don't cut it at all on my projector. I don't know that any transfer from the NTSC set could, it just doesn't seem good enough. The PAL set has much more detail and is without the bad jaggies. Not to mention not having to mess with reversing telecine or the 7.5 IRE NTSC black level boost.
