Also, does anybody have the original Thorn EMI/HBO transfer? I read that had burns too, but I believe it was also overbrightened, as a lot of 80s transfers were.

 i just ebayed one Thorn EMI/HBO LaserDisc of Terminator 1 today. I hope it arrives this month, and I will check it.

 I just took a short check, but the Thorn EMI/HBO LaserDisc of Terminator 1 is full screen, and I assume it is just pan&scan, because if it is possible to notice the hard matting on the VCL DVD.

Coloring/brighness seemed to be a bit odd on first sight, but I am not sure on that. I have to clean the disc a bit, it was quite messiy watching. Errors like a VHS, hope it just are some fingerprints and dust, and no scrateches. (The discs seem not to be in bad shape, but I hat no time for a real check, yet.

Maybe I have some time next weekend, to plug in and install my USB Video Grabber (hope it works with Win 7), and take some caps from the LD.

I really need to learn how to preserve LDs, now I have 3 different Terminator LDs. (Thorn EMI/HBO Full Screen, Image Widescreen and German VCL FSK18) Hopefully my Pioneer DVL-909 is in well condition enought.
