Finally got my copy of The Frighteners LD Rip delivered. The quality is OK, having not watched a laserdisc in fifteen years I can't really compare it. Needless to say it looks quite grainy, certainly better than VHS though. There's a very basic menu (blue screen with a "Play Movie" button). It doesn't contain the commentary as I hoped it might. There's only 2 channel sound throughout whereas the official DVD (and I'm assuming the LD) has a 5.1 soundtrack. The 4.5 hour documentary which is supplied on a second disc again has the same issues with regard to the grain as the first disc does. Whilst I'm not complaining about the rip as it certainly is watchable, has anyone got (or can get) a better looking version?

Reading back through this thread it's only ReverendBeastly who has the commentary on VHS, could you rip the commentary from your VHS copies? And I'll mail you a copy of the movie, after which you merge the two together. Would this be possible?
