It's great to read about all those plans to create a PAL dvd from laserdisc source. I'm planning to do the same.

I recently bought the French laserdisc of the trilogy with subtitles in the black bar. I am planning to record it with my dvd recorder in the highest quality mode. Then I'll resize and color correct it on my pc. And I'll encode it with CCE. It will be an anamorphic dvd with Dutch, English and French subtitles.

Does anybody have any advise, about filters to use?


Hello,

I don't know if first recording with a DVD-recorder and then resizing to anamorphic and rencoding is a good idea. The picture of a DVD-recorder is often quite soft (at least on the few disc I saw that were made with a Phillips DVD recorder in standard quality).

Cropping, resizing, color correction, noise filtering etc. are quite easy to accomplish with Avisynth or VirtualDubMod. VirtualDubMod is easier to use, but I think Avisynth is more powerful and flexible. VirtualDubMod can also import Vobfiles, so you might want to give it a try.
If you have a fast connection I would really like to get a copy of your audio ac3 stream, perhaps you can contact me.
