pittrek, shipping cost to Italy or UK should be roughly the same; the most important thing is who has the best hardware for capture... mine is as following:
- Panasonic NV-FS88 - S-VHS HiFi stereo
- Sony MDJ-520 - Minidisc recorder with Sigma/Delta 20bit ADC
- AverMedia BDA A16C - PCI capture card, with Philips SAA-713X chipset
- Panasonic DMR-ES50, Pioneer DVR-320S, Yukai A100D - DVD recorders
- Monster Cable video cables
- Sony high quality digital optical cable
the video path will be S-VHS recorder - DVD recorder (needed for stabilizing picture via TBC) - capture card
the audio path will be S-VHS recorder - MiniDisc recorder (for its superior ADC) - sound card via optical in
the only missing thing is a really good 3D comb player inside those devices, but AFAIK there is no PAL 3D comb player around, or at least I'm not aware of any.
the "From Star Wars to Jedi" needed pieces could be used together with the captures from the japanese lasedisc, or, better, from the "pyramid" PAL french laserdisc.
