All of this excitement over miraculously picture quality improving filters really mean they miracuously improve one aspect of the video at a complete loss of some other aspect. I say, the more you try to filter it, the worse its gonig to look compared to the laserdisc. All I did was tweak the LD's weird color balance, did some very very weak noise reduction to make it more compressible, and compressed it to mpeg2. Done and done.

I would also like to thank you for all your efforts in the preservation of the ORIGINAL TRILOGY and for posting on the forums - I will soon update all my information on the original set you created - I'm working on a motor/tranny/induction swap on my car[s] so it maybe a few weeks but rest assured I will update all and any information to credit you as the original creator of the "TR47" set.
Again THANKS and much respect!

P.S. - I've added you to my "Creators" list on my latest NFO!
