Hello,

i wasnt aware thta there were different cuts of Moontrap.

I knew there would be some cuts from the uk version but didnt know that the US was missing dialogs.

From what ive seen (and i still need to  watch the french dvd and us ld properly) they seemed to be qui te the same. If i remember correctly there was something about a voice over at the end of the credit that was missing in the US or something like that.

I will post screen from the dvd when i get home (in 10/12 hours).

The dvd is fullscreen and seems to be created from a vhs master (i dont know what it's called like but the master that was used to make the vhs copies), it looks very nice.

i begun to play with the LD, i made a rip of the 1 fisrt minute and it more dark and the tones are more brownish than the dvd. I worked it a bit with procoder, played with contrast and colors and its not bad. I think will probably end up ripping it completely and experiment with it. But before that i need to get a proper capture car.

For now i'm using a device that some kind of HDD internet tv thingie we have in my country that also allow to capture video from different sources.

Trouble is that there is no quality settings, when there is no action the image is pretty good but when there is fire explosion and stuff it pixelate.

I will post pictures from dvd and from the ld rip on my next post.
