No, it was nothing to do with NTSC, they wanted to modify a PAL player (the Pioneer CLD-D925 if I remember correctly, the same player Moth3r used for his transfer) so they could receive a better image from the PAL source discs. I think the plan was to bypass a certain filter before certain problems were introduced.

I really should just read back instead of doing all this 'guessing'!

[edit]Well, I can now confirm it was the D925 that they were thinking of modifying, but since the forum search function is useless here I can't find the posts where Laserman and Moth3r were discussing it.[/edit]

[edit2]Still haven't found those posts (in which Laserman tells Moth3r to keep his player), but I believe it is the 3-line 2D comb filter that was to be bypassed to reduce dot crawl. At least this is what I've gathered from Karyudo's posts on the topic as he has the same player.[/edit2]
