mvd24, thanks for your post; I'm glad you liked this project, and hope to have made some others happy, too!

Last week I captured the french PAL laserdisc of BATB and, despite the fact video quality is lower (because PAL laserdiscs are almost always worst than their NTSC counterparts, and the best PAL player could be worth, quality wise, maybe 1/5th of a Pioneer HLD-X9) I noted colors are better; don't know if it's caused by the new capture card I used, or due to the master used for the PAL version, which is near 1.33:1 (more something like 1.45:1 because it's stretched)...

When I'll find a little bit of free time (in months, probably) I'd like to make some test captures to see if the NTSC LD captured with the new card has better colors, and at least the same details, of the old capture; if so, maybe - and I'm writing MAYBE (so, don't take this for granted) I will do an improved version.
