I will do both, I have no RBG unfortunately, only composite and s-vid. I think for what I am aiming to do, the transfers will look basically unchanged from the laserdiscs. This may or may not be a good thing, but I have high hopes.
Ive been reading all these post for quite awile now, before jumping in, and I think you are on your way to making a wonderful transfer. My goal is really to make a DVD set for myself, and then a master set stored on hardrive. Whether or not I will get these out in large numbers is not that big of a deal. I'd like to sell 10-20 copies, but I figure half of these will go to people I already know. Whether or not anyone here is interested I dont know.
My biggest compaint it that my sound will go analog-analog-digital, ending up in 16-bit stereo. The stereo format is fine, we will see how much quality is lost. I should be posting screens of Han shooting Greedo by next week. I plan on making a full set by next weekend, as well.
An option is use a Audigy platinum audio card, which allows for sony/philips digital in. However at this point the project become too expensive for me. My personal opinion is that 5-10 years after Lucas croaks. the OT will be released, or by that time OT transfers onto DVD will be fairly common.
MeBeJedi: I would love to compare early transfers with you somehow. I should have SW transfered by Saturday 10/2/04 for sure onto DVD-R.
