I've just read through the ancient original post and it was indeed Eliasboy who was to undertake the transfer. Only problem was, his Laserdisc was a fossil, his wife had just fallen pregnant and he was trying to record via composite to a DVD recorder. Undeniably not the best of circumstance. I believe the last word was he had thrown in the towel. I'd love for him or someone else even to prove me wrong however.
