Laserdisc to Anamorphic DVD ? ? (how to do this?)

Author

I have a bunch of old laserdiscs that I want to transfer to dvd (star wars DE , Blade Runner CE , BS Dracula CE , etc..etc..)

Id be willing to share on Bitorrent if I know what Iam doin

Id like to know how do you make a Anamorphic dvd with a laserdisc source , considering all laserdiscs are 4:3 Widescreen .

do you stretch the image 30% and leave a little of the black bars , or do I delete the black bars and leave the rectangle image ?

Do you lose quality by blowing up the image and what software do you use to do this ?

Right now Ive been using Capture software (ie. Fly 2000 tv , Virtualdub and Tmpgenc) to transfer , but Id like to know what is the best way to do this , what filters , settings etc..etc..


could someone put up a tutorial on something like this, itd be a huge help for people that would like to make their own versions of SW.

Dr. Gonzo's transfer of the df collection star wars trilogy is anamorphic, and is the only one suitable for widesceen televisions.

You are really on the wrong forum: you should check out Doom9.org for all this stuff. There, or Videohelp.com. No sense in reinventing the wheel!
