Thanks for the reply Moth3r. You know, the fact that the XØ project would incorporate more than one laserdisc release never even occured to me (I assume SC and DC refer to two different releases, but what the acronyms stand for is beyond me). Very interesting, incorporating the best aspects of each release. So from what I read, (at least) two different laserdiscs were transfered using the XØ player, one disc (the SC version) being rather dirty and having color issues, but having a high degree of detail and good light levels, while the other laserdisc has a clean transfer with good color, but a little soft and lacking in detail due to overblown whites and general fuzziness.

Have I got this straight? (And forgive my ignorance, but what do SC and DC stand for?)

BTW, this process reminds me of an article I read about the restoration of some old Doctor Who episodes from the 70s. The episodes were broadcast in color, but the color masters were destroyed, leaving only B&W 16mm copies. But a fan in the US had recorded the episodes in color on VHS, so when these tapes were discovered recently, the color signal from the tapes was laid over the sharper B&W 16mm transfer.

Nice work guys.
