The new S-video cable did help improve the quality some. The picture looks a bit better then it had. I don't think I can improve the quality any more without buying a new LD player.
I was not sure about the science behind old style LaserDisc AC-3 digital coaxial output and how to import it to my PC. I found a web page that describes the entire proses, and what I would need to pull off a AC3 transfer.

Looks like I need a Laserdisc AC-3 RF Demodulator. They run big bucks, so I will have to try and save for one. Until then, it looks like it will be PCM mono and stereo from the RCA jacks only on my projects.
Diamonds will complete the Connery Collection Vol. II preservation. Need to keep it complete for collectors that need the entire set. People like me.
And who knows, I may just make a new stereo mix and as well as isolate the complete music score for all of these films. I had the effects and music only on the Banned Bond set (F.R.W.L's was lifted from the Connery Collection Vol. 1 disk, as it was not on the Criterion disk for that one film), so I feel that I need to include something like that on these releases.
