I recently bought the French laserdisc of the trilogy with subtitles in the black bar. How much did you pay for it, if you don't mind me asking? That's the one I wanted, but on eBay they go too high for me. I would love to get a digital rip of the uncompressed PCM that's on those discs.
My LD player has a noise reduction circuit, however I find that if I turn it on it softens the picture too much. Therefore I am going to capture the video using the huffyuv codec (lossless) and use a noise reduction filter in software before the actual encoding.

Are you aware that you can load AVS scripts into VirtualDubMod? 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 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?
If you are going to use a DVD recorder, my advice would be not to touch the video. Your recorder will record with MPEG-2 compression (lossy), so if you then resize, filter, and re-encode you will have two lossy steps in the chain. If your recorder has some sort of noise reduction built in to it's hardware, by all means enable that while you are recording.I am planning to record it with my dvd recorder in the highest quality mode.
