Im considering getting a used Pci-x osprey capture card since the machine i will be using is a 64 bit multi proc Xeon server. But that card seems nice, maybe i will try it out. The Dc30 is out the window now after consulting with some specialists, i would lose abit of resolution and detail if i used it because of the onboard compression.

About the Special collection (for those who dont know, it was released before the definitive edition and does not suffer from the DvNR from Thx processing wich is apparent on the GOUT Dvd release wich came from the US master tapes), no i dont have that yet. Would be interesting to see if i could merge the two, but the work could be immense.

After looking at the defintive Japanese release i must say im impressed with the detail if i turn up the brightness. Japanese superior pressing tricks maybe, but the US version is not this sharp.

Im at the stage of finishing the player and starting to put together the server to crunch the editing.
