I don't have the capability to capture LD's at the moment, but I plan to do it.

By the way, would you happen to know how the Special Widescreen Editions of ESB and ROTJ hold up against the JSC?

I don't know for sure but from what I have seen on various screen-caps, the JSC seems to have a slight advantage:

 

 

Were there multiple pressings of the Special Widescreen Edition, some with better quality than others? When I tried transferring my copy, it ended up looking very dirty, especially compared to that screenshot. Of course, it could be that my laserdisc player, a Pioneer LD-v850, is just subpar; I just inherited it.

EDIT: Okay, just was surfing the web and noticed that the SWE did have multiple pressings: Pioneer, Mitsubishi, and Technidisc. See info here. Does anyone know if there were any differences in quality between them, as far as ESB and ROTJ?
