I am armed with free software (avisynth,virtualdub,etc.), a usb capture card, and 3 laserdisc players of varying quality(CLD-HF9G,CLD-D505,CLD-D615).
I suggest to do three captures for each title, using your three laserdisc players; align them temporally (I think there is no need to align them spatially too, as you'll you the very same title and not different copies); then average and/or median the three captures to obtain a cleaner picture with less noise; you may use TOOT too, but it will not clear out droputs, as you are using the same copy and not different copies (that may have video dropouts scattered in different places).
