The R7G also had 30% YNR strength from the player I believe. The 5xaverage is quite beneficial normally I believe. The R7G denoiser does tend to bring forth a digitized look and as always a loss of detail. I will probably not do a 5xaverage with the LD-Decode versions because the filesizes are huge and decoding takes a seriously long time. For example 1 side of a CAV disc is about 50GB in RF data. You decode that to rawvideo with RGB48 colorspace and the filesize is about the same or bigger and the decoding takes something like 5 hours. Anyway, the LD-Decode method introduces far less noise since digitization takes place way earlier in the chain and it never strays back into the analog domain.

Well I think your R7G capture is superb but switching between the samples you posted I almost see the kind of difference I saw between your HF9G and R7G. :) Was checking out that thread over at lddb and the samples he posted are really impressive. Amazing what can be done really.

The R7G is still not working. I'm maybe going to let it collect dust for awhile since I just got a cld-s315 that works great and since I'm tapping the RF it doesn't matter how crappy the player is since you are nabbing the signal right after it leaves the optical pickup. I will probably buy a cheap oscilloscope and try to do a full service adjustment on it but that's going to have to wait until I have some money. The LD-D screenshots were captured with the cld-s315 btw :).

EDIT: Speaking of pal is there anybody that can confirm these are the same as the coffret trilogie that Antcufaalb recommended to me here?

Oh, I somehow missed that you had bought a PAL player, that's great.

VideoCollector's site is nice for visual info on various SW releases: http://swonvideo.com/ Looks like the ones with french subs displays a V.O on the bottom left corner of the case. The coffret trilogie did go through DVNR like the Faces set but I guess it's the best set the PAL-system can offer.
