I'm thinking about making also a video preservation of "The Arrival" using the laserdisc(s) as source... as the DVD was non anamorphic, and the BD video quality was - as I read in several reviews - "not so good", to put it mildly...

For sure, the laserdisc image is not high definition, but, as I have just finished the video for OUT 2.0, I could say that sometimes "high definition ≠ high quality"...

I checked my laserdisc collection, and discovered that, apart the Special Edition, I have TWO copies of the NTSC widescreen edition of "The Arrival"... three is the magic number, when median is used to get a cleaner copy of a laserdisc (and any other analog video) capture; probably, the quality will be a little better than the DVD and BD, if I will use the Pioneer HLD-X9 as a laserdisc player; and, if it will be not true, at least the video quality will be on par with the extra features, in particular the alternative ending.

And, because until now I used only PAL sources for my restoration projects, it's time to understand how to make a proper inverse telecine process!
