Thank you Laserman. PCM audio is one of the things that makes Laserdiscs superior to DVD (in some ways, and some particular issues), and I, for one, NEED a PCM track on my Ultimate Transfer. Frankly, I wouldn't care if the X0 was 11 gigs, and could only be stored on a drive or a Blu-Ray - this is the end-all be-all laserdisc transfer of Star Wars, and if it isn't a complete obliteration of existing versions, then what would be the point? Let me also add that I sincerely hope you encode the hell out of your finished product, as a simple 3 pass just doesn't cut it when you spend endless hours perfecting a transfer, only to have it look like garbage after encoding. The higher your starting bitrate, and the more compression the video will see, the more encoding becomes really integral - as I'm sure you well know. If you don't wish to do so, I would be more than happy to run your sources through my machine with 9 passes and a completely optimized Q factor, on a frame by frame basis. Because really, what's an extra 8 hours of encoding for something that took months to create? On that note, I'd also like to know if the straight transfer, in raw form, will be made available to quality maniacs such as myself? Anyway, keep up the good work guys, and we all cannot wait to see a finished product. Maybe merry Christmas?
