Well, I bid on the unopened swe on tradera hoping it was the technidisc. It wasn't. It was the pioneer pressing from '92. I already have the Mitsubishi pressings so I will get around to them both eventually. I don't really feel like trying to find the technidisc at this point. I've tried 3 times now to acquire it and the first time mysycamore lost his copy in the mail on the way to me so for the time being I guess I will not try to purchase it anymore unless I find one that has clear enough pictures for me to be absolutely certain before purchasing it.

I am in the process of acquiring an PAL player so anybody that wants to donate PAL Star Wars discs to the cause please feel free to drop me a PM.

It looks like at this point that the software decoding method is going to work. Once the PAL player arrives I'm going to mod it and use it for all future NTSC and PAL captures. This has the potential to surpass any laserdisc player circuitry or capture card. It is about the best way to currently preserve a laserdisc too because it captures the full bandwidth of the RF stream before it ever hits any circuitry in the player.
