The script named "white magic" is a collection of some of the better avisynth scripts I found on the web, put together to restore the video captured from noisy sources (LD and especially VHS) - I'm still working on it, infact is just 0.2 version.
Moth3r, as usual, has all the answers, and pointed out that the PAL LD master has the clipped whites... when I'll be home again, I'll try to recover (part of) the signal lost... maybe it's just impossible, but I'll try anyway.
Back to the JSC, AFAIK it has the "shrinkin' problem", that is not present on the SWE, isn't true? If so, I could manage to capture the SWE trilogy with my Pioneer HLD-X9 and improve the quality with my "white magic"... the only problem is, between my dozen SW OUT LDs I have NOT the SWE!!!
If someone would sell the SWE LD trilogy, or could be interested in a swap, or just want to borrow it to capture, let me know via PM!
