Hi everyone!

I’m very happy to share that I have completed the preservation of the very elusive and rare Star Wars (A New Hope) Japan Rental LaserDisc release. Thanks as always to the help of ooJason, the release is now listed in the forum’s master thread: 📍 250+ available Original Trilogy Preservations - some from a long time ago . . . . 📍!

Technical Details:
Title: droid1138 1995 Star Wars (A New Hope) Japan Rental LaserDisc Preservation
Source: Star Wars (A New Hope) Japan Rental LaserDisc
LD Player: Pioneer CLD-D503
Capture: S-Video → Samsung DVD/VCR recorder (DVD-VR357)
Audio: Stereo RCA into the DVD/VCR recorder
Format: Widescreen
File Size: 4.9 GB (ISO) / 4.7 GB (MKV)
File Type: ISO / MKV

As with previous releases, the Samsung recorder’s digital output let me bridge the analog LD signal to modern equipment while capturing clean video and audio. It also helped as a means to connect the LD Player to the TV, as this DVD/VCR model has an HDMI port and Optical Out. Enjoy and MTFBWY!
