Does anyone know if the original DVB captures are available somewhere? I'd even settle for a DVD9 version over the DVD5one.

The best version of the 1997 SE picture wise is going to be dark_jedi's since he is using multiple sources and then upscaling them to 720p with other tweaks to the picture.

From the sample I've seen, these will be the best looking versions of the 1997 SE, and if you want to watch 1997 SE on a rainy day, I suggest you keep an eye on these.

This is probably your best option.
