DFNYC, I already have a dual layer burner at work (sony gave us one) , and yup that was pretty much my plan, also will be coming in from the LD via RGB to a lossless 4:4:4 capture system, so I am hoping to get a better capture.
The trouble is that the LD version is 'slightly foggy', so my main aim is to de-SE the DVD set when it is released, and then colour match and re-add in the footage from the LD set where required.
I expect the transfer on the DVDs to be considerably better (especially in colour fidelity) than the LD version.
It will give me something to do on the night shift while waiting for renders anyway.
