DanielB, I actually do agree with your views. I want an OT transfer without any fixed sabre shots. I also dislike the change of Gollywogs to Goblins, the removal of the gruesome end to Peter Rabbit's father, and the "dumbing down" of Awdry's Railway Stories.

It's just a shame you have to be such an annoying twat.

Now, back on topic:
There's something I don't understand in this discussion about playing the PAL discs on the NTSC-only X0, maybe Laserman, Karyudo or someone else could clarify. The video on a laserdisc is stored as an analogue waveform, yes? The optical stuff in the player converts the undulations on the disc surface to an electrical composite video signal. Why does the player need to decode this signal (if it's not doing any processing)? Isn't it the display device or capture card that decodes the composite signal into RGB? From my simplistic point of view, if the disc itself is PAL or NTSC then the output signal will be the same format. Or does the player need to decode the signal to check the disc is playing at the correct speed, or something like that?
