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.

So is the Dark/Sega JSC Preservation of higher (visual) quality?
