Help: looking for... Criterion Laserdisc - Special Features

Author

 (Edited)

Hi All,

So I’ve got plenty of Criterion Laserdisc restoration projects in the pipeline - see the Dead Presidetns

For some of them I already have all the special features captured from the laserdiscs but I am missing those below. I really want to create faithful restorations and include every bonus feature even the less significant ones, but unfortunately I do not have a laserdisc player anymore. If anyone out there can with capturing the items below that would be a great help and much appreciated.

Most of these are still image galleries, if someone could capture them I would only need a few seconds of each as I’ll extract the images and build slideshows.

Hopefully someone out there can help, and if they can then the finished products will be posted on here.

Thanks
