After reading the messages on the various preservation projects. I’m looking at my own. I haven’t started anything yet but shelled out about 80 bucks for a laser disc player and the definitive collection laser discs. I’m almost wondering if I should do this at all. Maybe I should just get one of your copies and make do with that. It’s disheartening to think I came in late doing my own (and I haven’t even started yet).

I guess it would be a good idea to do a direct copy to dvd so I can have it to watch at least. No need to get special with it.

I was mostly thinking if I ended up doing something like this, i’d take the original version and fix things that I thought should have been fixed with the SE’s. Just the general removing garbage mattes, matte lines. And doing stuff that makes the not so great looking stuff look great. At least great as I can get with a cheap ld player and the definitive edition.

Your 2 cents (or tuppence if you happen to be British) ?
