Well I neither have the equipment nor the laserdiscs needed to make my own transfer. But what I have heard is that when captured onto the hardrive the video file is about 20 gigs (i don't know if this is true, i have never attempted a transfer). When converting this video file to the target dvd-sized mpeg using any normal method you lose a lot of data, when doing it with the K method you lose a lot of data as well, but hopefully it is a lot less noticeable. I would try it myself but don't have said huge video file (or as I mentioned the means of making one myself) so if someone is willing to send me one of their transfers BEFORE it was encoded to dvd, when it's in that 20gb or so range, I would be more than happy to test it out. If someone can send me multi-part .rar files of the transfer spread across a few dvds I would be more than happy to pay for shipping and price of discs. I'm incredibly anxious just to see if it would work, I may even get one of my friends in the release group I mentioned to give it a go since it kinda takes a talent and I don't have nearly as much experience as them!
