just picked a new laserdisc player

(my 3rd one)...the other 2 sony's died out...

i'm made it my personal mission to never give SONY 1 more
cent for all their failed electronics, etc..

anyways, its a DENON la-2500, it has autoreverse to play
both sides, s-vid out, and digital out.(TOS), besides the
usual.rca jacks...


i've only owned the SE laser disc box set..

but in the next week i'll be getting
---------------------
1) the faces 3 set THX laserdiscs
2) special definitive laserdisc box

by the way all were dirt cheap..
player $30, faces LD $15, and box set around $40....

i picked up 12 foot s-video cables today..

i have a pinnacle external dazzle capture box, and will
be playing around with it.. if the quality isn't that great,
i'll buy a capture card, or a better box...

i'm not quite sure what i'm going to do with them though..

i'm pretty sure every combination of capture of the LD's
has already been done (except for the XO project)..

anyways, it will be fun to play around with the sound,
and video, and see what can be done with them, until
i get a good idea at whats going on..

also, i'm playing around with premiere 6 (not CS, yet),
so i have learn how that works also..

anyone have any good guides/ideas/thoughts about
projects, video capturing, etc....i've been to videohelp.com,
and doom9, but i want to learn more specific stuff here,
i've looked at the technical threads about color correction,
and image stabilization, but its way over my head...

maybe a nice beginner project......(actually, i'm planning
on doing a 'the story of return of the jedi' from vinyl,
with video from the discs'.....that might be easy...i hope.....

later
