Well I'm finally back to work on this again. The last month has been very hectic for me and I haven't had much time outside of work to do anything but sleep. Now that things are starting to get back to normal, I can once again concentrate on my project. This time around the capture looks cleaner with my new equipment, but I'm still tinkering with the filters since I've implemented some new ones. Here is my latest workflow:

* Capture all three ANH laserdiscs (I'm doing the first 7 min or so after the crawl at this point). Import simple crop script into VirtualDubMod for IVTC and DotCrawl. Save new avi.
* Combine all three using the TooT script. Import into VDubMod for MSU sharpen filter. Save new avi.
* Run through Laserschwert's De-Jaggy/De-Ghost script (also resizing to anamorphic) and import to VDubMod for MSU sharpen and denoiser filters. Save new avi.
* Color correct in Premiere.

This should turn out quite well. The other thing I've done this time around is use that PCI hack program I mentioned earlier to change the capture settings. This allowed me to disable the clipping on the sides and capture the full width of the video. Additionally, I used VirtualVCR's histogram to set the brightness/contrast levels instead of eyeballing it.

Screencaps should be up tomarrow if all goes as planned.
