I'm happy to see your interest into this project: hope to start soon to capture - after further tests, really needed to discover the best PAL laserdisc in the world my home...

Oversharpening artefacts in the source + digital broadcast compression artefacts. At least that's what I think.
Anyway, nice idea and looking forward to see the results of this project!
I know that "gibberish" were digital compression artifacts... I wanted only to test your attention (^^,)
Infact, I started to watch GKAR ("know your enemy...") but after some minutes I stopped; it's true that the resolution is there, but also many distracting artifacts, and wrong colors...
I'm curious to see the results of my project, too!

Sweet, I'm looking forward to this immensely. I am also excited to see where this project goes.
Rockin!!!!!!
Stay tuned! If it takes the same time of [OUT ruLes], it will be ready a month after the captures will be done...

I think that's your reason right there. The broadcast versions are all anamorphic, so have much more vertical resolution than the letterboxed laserdiscs. I'd much rather watch with a 'clean' picture missing some very fine detail than one that has it but is covered with digital artifacts!
Wait! The capture tests are not over... maybe I will find a laserdisc player with more resolution - and I have some suspect it could be the 925...
Are you going to remove the awful pink tint from certain scenes on Tatooine? I've never seen a '97 release that doesn't have it.
Let's test! Tell me which scene is the worst, in your opinion, and I'll capture it this very night - until midnight, of course, I have /still) a day job!
I'm thinking about TPM [ruLes] using the (second) best laserdisc ever made, and two different copies of the laserdisc.
That would be excellent, the laserdisc has the theatrical cut, I believe, and we have the DTS audio for that also, but only a digital broadcast to sync it to.
A [TPM ruLes] with a DTS soundtrack? I'm in!
BTW, my DTS syncs are almost prepared for you, I'll PM you when they're available.
Perfect, thanks a lot! Your work is precious for my project, really!
My pleasure, of course. Seeing as you're using PAL sources it should be easy to make your SET ruLes project conform to the 'standards' we have set in the other thread, which is basically just reel change frame numbers, and will mean any audio you create can be used for other projects (my audio has been to conformed to the numbers there), and other audio could be applied to your video (such as other language tracks) in future.
I'm also happy to lend any other assistance should you need it on the audio front ;)
Thanks thanks thanks! This will be the written proof, when I will ask for your help! (*-*,)
