Im curious about this X0 raw capture. I know effectivly nothing about video capture/editing but if its not too much trouble had a couple questions.

What format is the raw capture in? Is it mpeg2 (i believe thats the one that everyone talks of using to source dvds) and can it be watched as is on a computer? if yes, is it watchable? meaning does it require any color correction or anything like that to have the quality which you said would be better than that of most people watching the actual laserdiscs on their own player?

also, as far as comments you (Laserman) made earlier about the process of making this capture. You said something about putting it on a dvd9. going from an 80gig file to a 8.5 gig dvd isnt that gonna require alot of compression, thereby reducing the quality significantly? Would anything else be done with prior to putting it on a dvd, or is the put on dvd step only part of individual projects?

sorry for any of the real newbie-ish questions...but as i said my knowledge of video capture/editing is probably somewhere around a -5 on scale of 1 to 10
