I wouldn't call drawing attention to the amount of video noise in my transfer "bragging". I think I made a fair comparison. But for the record, if Moth3r V2.0 ever appears, it will be anamorphic NTSC.
However, perhaps some of the smaller "videophile" companies manufactured high-spec PAL-compatible players. A thread over on avforums.com mentions the Theta players and the Voyager if it supports PAL laserdiscs looks like the kind of thing that could get somewhere close to X0 quality. Am I getting warm?

That's a great tip and excellent looking shot thanks LM. The brightness on my TV was probably set this way, because the noise did not look anywhere near as bad when watching on the TV. Quit bragging Moth3r or give us an NTSC version.

Care to elaborate on what exactly you are working on? As I see it, the best mainstream PAL player was the 2950 (not miles ahead of the D925, but has reported better build quality, less noise and a less-tortuous signal path). This is the player I would like to get for my next version.I don't want to say too much at this point, but the possibility of getting X0-like quality out of PAL is being explored.
