"MeBeJedi, what hardware did you use for your comparison? Considering most people swear they are the exact same transfer (and others claim the Faces set, which was released later on, had been cleaned up further) I'm very surprised to read your results. One possibility: the differences you mention could very well be a quality difference in the output of your laserdisc players, rather than a difference on the discs themselves. Have you tried swapping them and doing the test again?"

I did swap them out. I only have one player. I was going to replace the scene from my "Faces" disc with the DefCol. because there were a few seconds of blips I wanted to cover over. Just for kicks, I put them side-by-side in Vegas, and I could see a tremendous difference. I'll try to post a screencap. What's the command for posting a pic here?
