No, thanks to you!!! Hurrah! - no such emoticons, but should be something like this: L(^^,)J

Color burst... can't help myself to use it, but I'm pretty sure some avisynth master would be able to use it to stabilize the picture, even if probably it would not need it - you have a TBC IIRC...

Resolution: as LD is analog, I think the more, the better; I mean, vertical resolution is fixed, but it could be possible to use higher horizontal resolution, to try to capture "in between" lines, a sort of sub-pixel... or maybe I'm going mad, dunno...

Is it possible to invert phase? I mean, it's always possible to eliminate dot crawls and rainbows in software, but if the inversion phase is feasible, I prefer to do two captures, and average them somehow, to get rid of chroma noise, retaining all the luma resolution... am I right?

If you process the signal in the YIQ domain, which will be the colorspace used for the final result? Just curious... can't wait to see a SuperNTSC title captured with this method!
