msycamore, sorry I'm a bit lost now... let me understand, there is still need for LD captures of the 1997 Special Edition Trilogy (NTSC and/or PAL)? Because following this thread I suspected that the DVB sources are worse than LD, isn't true?
I'm not the person to ask, but I guess there is always need for preservations of SW-LD's even if other sources have advantages over them. The DVB sources are obviously in a higher resolution and doesn't have the shortcomings of the LD-format. The US LD set I checked had pretty nasty artifacts and DVNR-smear that was worse than what is seen in the DVB sources, see some examples here: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/DVNR-smearing-in-GOUT-not-in-the-master-Or-is-the-1995-release-a-different-master-altogether/post/543328/#TopicPost543328
I guess you'll have to check your discs and see which ones are best suited for preservations, it's possible the Japanese or the PAL lasers are better. The DVB sources (except G'kar) includes the theatrical end credits, the LD's do not. See here: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Credits-Leaders-Thread/post/593739/#TopicPost593739
