And, of course, there is news. I have recieved the laserdisc set and, I've gotta tell ya, it looks wonderful. Maybe a smudge or two on the discs, but no scratches or disc rot and the case/liner notes are in fiiiiiine condition. I will get on scanning these tonight and will post here with further developments.
From here, they go to Karyudo to capture the sound, then to MeBe for the actual video encoding.
