Then stealing an idea from the astronomy boys, try to treat it as a multipass capture of the same source (which it basically is) and create a composite image throwing away noise and gathering detail to get a final result that is a lot cleaner and more detailed than any of the individual laserdisc transfers are on their own.
which sounds similar to the method Citizen used for his PAL captures.
Has anyone considered this sort of approach to create an optimum version of the holiday special?
Any ideas how much potential gain there be from combining various different versions of holiday special together with some sort of fame averaging?
This is assuming that the various sources could be alligned to match eachother.
And by extension could comibing audio from different version yield a better audio track? Is there such a thing as 'audio average' different sources together?
