Yes, Chewie did a DVD of Arnie.d's raw X9 capture as I recall. I don't want to piss on his/their effort and Mallwalker's huge undertaking of uploading these, as I'm very grateful but the truth is that those captures doesn't accurately represent how those LD-transfers look, something clearly went wrong in the capture chain, they aren't smear-free at all, the colors are bleeding and there's a chroma shift that's nowhere to be seen on the actual LD's. Arnie d's V8 DVD is actually superior to his lossless X9-capture but even that is its own beast, examine for yourself. I think it's very unfortunate when the hardware and good will was there but I never got any answers to this when I asked in the thread, It's hard to put forth without sounding like an ungrateful bastard.

In a similar way, my Technidisc DVD doesn't accurately represent the actual LD either, when going back and looking at some of the screenshots that's been posted from my disc I actually have a hard time understand I could release such crap, the last two thirds of the disc is basically unwatchable IMO. Lobster faces everywhere, the LD is red tinted yes, but it got greatly magnified by whatever settings I went with. I blame it on being rushed, bad quality control and a little bit of deliberate creative decisions involved. ;)
