What about Zion and Laserman? What are they making? Anamorphic or non? Or both?
And, are all of you using the "Faces" LDs? Some of you? Which ones? What is the source for the other ones if they aren't using the "faces" set?
I was also under the impression that even though the 1995 THX "Faces" transfer was better, the 1993 Definitive Collection LD source was still higher quality because it was CAV format. I found it odd that LFL would put a superior transfer on LDs in an inferior format but that's what I understood to be the case. So, do you guys feel that the "Faces" LDs are better quality and will produce a better DVD transfer?
I haven't bought any sets yet and I'm wondering which ones are worth it. In the meantime while you three are working on your transfers, I will definetly get the TR47 version, but maybe I'd do well to wait until you three are done before I get any additional sets. What do you think? Obviously if your Anamorphic sets are better than there's no reason to waste time/money with the Dr.Gonzo or Farsight versions.
Have any of you thought about getting your versions professionally pressed? I would love the chance to get factory pressed OT DVDs, and judging by the excitement surrounding your transfers they sound like they certainly deserve that treatment. Being that we can buy professionally produced slipcase tins it would be great if the discs themselves looked that good as well.
Also, does anyone know anything about the new set TR47 is making? I say set, but I only saw one reference to it somewhere in these forums and I can't remember if he said he had this great source for all three films or just ANH. What exactly IS his source? I remember the phrase "Master tapes."
Sorry for the million questions but I just have so many, I can't help myself! lol
I was also wondering HOW LaserDiscs can be analog...I just assumed because they used optical laser technology that they must be digital like DVDs and CDs. How exactly are they analog? I never had a LD player or even knew anyone who did, so all I know about them I learned from this forum and various other sources online. I have no firsthand knowledge though.
