Well, the aliasing and DVNR are inherent to the laserdisc master so it will always be there no matter what. I honestly can't imagine any laserdisc capture being better than the GOUT, based on the fact that the GOUT is encoded from the same master as the LDs, so it's the same (2nd) generation copy of the master as the LDs but made using newer technology. Any LD capture will be a 3rd generation copy. But I'd be happy to be proved wrong on that.

Couldn't it make quite a difference being that it will be 16X9? The GOUT is letterboxed and unless you want to watch it fully framed with a foot of black on all sides, you have to use the wide zoom setting on the tv which makes it look extremely fuzzy. I'm hoping that letterboxed vs 16x9 will make a big difference, but maybe I'm just being queer about it. I better not be too queer though, it seems that Molly is a homophobe. That usually means that someone is gay themselves, or at least does quite a bit of scissoring.

Yeah, but as you can see, the captures are not 16x9, so they would have to be anamorphicized much the same way as many projects did with the GOUT and as the GOUT is probably higher quality to begin with, there's no point using a LD capture. A pristine capture of a LD other than the 1993DC may be a different matter because some scenes could be replaced by it where the DVNR is really bad on the GOUT but capturing the 1993DC doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me.
