One last transfer to complete things, (the U.S. disc on the LD-V4400) and I should finally be finished this weekend. I don't really like the way the 704 transfers look, but the more we have to work with the better.

I confess I'm burning out a bit from watching the movie so many times in a row, and really want to get back to preserving some other discs in my collection. (Not to mention the S-VHS tapes I have left to do!) Might start a thread about another preservation idea tonight

Nice, SilverWook! The more the merrier! I can understand you're getting tired of seeing the same footage over and over again, hopefully it will be worth it in the end. Thanks for the effort you've put into making the best possible captures of these. Much appreciated! You deserve a break.

I'll give you a PM.

I also looked at the DC DVD again, and I think using everything from the WB/Kinney logo all the way through the opening credits is a good idea. The Buck Rogers clip looks way better, and the "Tragedy on Saturn" title card is actually readable before the fade out.

Yeah, I've also noticed that, that segment and its title card is pretty blown out. And I agree, degraded DC-footage is probably the way to go, we will just have to fix the windowboxed Buck Rogers clip to match the pillarboxed original.

Also, I got a little sidetracked and have been occupied by another project lately, sorry about that. But I'll focus on this entirely now, and get the Italian TV-cut done.
