Well i just received the laserdisc player today and immediately hooked it up to my pc's optical input. OMG. how did they screw up the 2004 mix so bad when the 5.1 track on the laserdiscs are so nice? It isn't perfect by any means but this will be so invaluable to my edit. theres also a possiblity that i could make a 5.1 track for the OUT too, but i'll leave that 'til after this edit is finished.
