You may want to capture a couple of scenes from the '97 SE LD:
1) The original Emperor scene from ESB
2) The Sebastian Shaw ghost scene at the end of ROTJ

I don't see why -- the German DTV or Fox TS captures are far, far better. In my opinion, there is no point in capturing any part of the SE from LD anymore.

What are you using Karyudo, a BT-878 card?

Nope. It's a Philips SAA7133-based card. The 7133 is actually a newer (ergo maybe better, despite similar specs on paper?) chip than the 7118 that's used in the card that Laserman's using -- but as we all know, it's not just the chip that's important, it's the implementation. Or maybe not: it is not clear whether it's the card or the player that's doing a poor job in the comb filtering department. In fact, since it's not perfect I think we know it's at least partially the player.

The 925 converts the video signal to digital pretty early on (8-bit ADC, compared with the Philips' 9-bit) and then eventually runs it through the now-obsolete Sony CXD2024 8-bit, three-line (cf. Philips' 9-bit, 4-line PAL) comb filter. That looks to be downstream of other stuff such as the frame store. Ideally, it would be nice to grab the video signal just before it's converted to digital, and output it as composite -- maybe using a little daughter card add-on to the 925? I hope it's not some pipe dream, but might actually be possible.
