But .:The V8 Project:. sounds a bit too much like the other project. :)

That's what it's meant to be.
I also have his v1 (but I think it's called Dark/Sega).

Yeah, lot of work. I already noticed the IVTC is going to be real time consuming. I'm going to IVTC manually and the settings change at almost every scene in the first 15 minutes...

I'm only going to do the JSC. I don't want to do much filtering. Maybe just apply NNEDI but no noisefiltering, I want to keep this one entirely DVNR free :). I did test capture Side 1 and the image is much brighter and has less color than DJ's transfer. I don't really know what's causing this but it could have something to do with the fact that these are Japanese disc so calibrated at a different IRE. DJ used an American player, I use a Japanese player. Also DJ used a canopus 110? I have a canopus with the same chipset and in test captures I noticed it darkens the image and causes a colorshift sometimes. And I don't know what luminance level DJ set his mpeg2 encoder to when he encoded the video. But I'm pretty sure the colors on DJ's set are not as they are on the laserdisc. But I like his colors and I'm not sure I can do any better myself. In the end it's just a matter of taste I guess.
I don't know how the 7135 compares to older PDI cards. I only know it is much better than my canopus device. I test captured a dvd and compared the capture to the ripped vob and I have to say I was pretty good. There was some dotcrawl introduced but the colors, sharpness and detail were captured pretty good.
I'm not going to fit the capture card with a BNC connector. I fitted the player with a BNC to RCA adapter.
Little bummer btw, I melted my voltage convertor. I guess it's not the most clever thing to do to use a voltage convertor of 100W max when the player is also 100W. I ordered a new one, 1600W. That ought to do it!
