Nobody said for certain that this was a laserdisc transfer. Its just that it makes more sense that way. We know about many of the masters they have done and some of the times they have remastered/cleaned up the print, and the comment made in the article was that this will be state of the art for '93. This is about the time they did the remastering for the Definitive Collection/Faces set, the last availabe O-OT release before the '97 SE. So the timing makes sense that they at least use this master. There may have been another remastering of the O-OT before the changes for the '97SE. It could be this master, which would not be laserdisc transfer, per-se, because there was no release for this one. But we don't know if this even exists. But other comments, and the presense of a Dolby Digital 2.0 track, and no alternate sound tracks (5.1 mastered from the 6 channel matrix, or a mono mix track) seems to indicate that this is being done on the cheap. I really hope we are wrong and this is the greatest ever. But I'm expecting the worse and hoping for the best.
