Star Wars (A New Hope) Japan Rental LaserDisc Preservation (Released)

Hi everyone!

I’m very happy to share that I have completed the preservation of the very elusive and rare Star Wars (A New Hope) Japan Rental LaserDisc release. Thanks as always to the help of ooJason, the release is now listed in the forum’s master thread: 📍 250+ available Original Trilogy Preservations - some from a long time ago . . . . 📍!

Technical Details:
Title: droid1138 1995 Star Wars (A New Hope) Japan Rental LaserDisc Preservation
Source: Star Wars (A New Hope) Japan Rental LaserDisc
LD Player: Pioneer CLD-D503
Capture: S-Video → Samsung DVD/VCR recorder (DVD-VR357)
Audio: Stereo RCA into the DVD/VCR recorder
Format: Widescreen
File Size: 4.56 GB Total
File Type: ISO

As with previous releases, the Samsung recorder’s digital output let me bridge the analog LD signal to modern equipment while capturing clean video and audio. It also helped as a means to connect the LD Player to the TV, as this DVD/VCR model has an HDMI port and Optical Out. Enjoy and MTFBWY!

Amazing - loving that ‘laserdisc rental’ logo!
 

You are knocking these laserdisc preservations out of the park with all these rare releases - all credit and kudos to you, enater. Some of us weren’t ever sure we’d see this rare and oft-talked about release again. 👍
 

I’ve added this to the Project Index, too.
