Maybe because ADM cut some stuff out?
Seriously, no skips on my dvd player...

The dc suppl. mat. by rowman was upped way before that. I'm not sure it can bedownloaded at myspleen anymore (probably not if you can't find it). I don't have it, I only have the dr. gonzo supplemental material dvd.

Edit: Maybe you can ask Santa in the other threads

I'm so interested in this project of yours, with this being the best available PAL laserdisc edition of Star Wars. Should be a great project.

Keep up the good work...

Thanks Rebelscum! But I doubt it's the best available PAL ld to dvd edition. I don't use any filters to sharpen so Moth3r's and Citizen's versions will be sharper (I don't denoise either). I'm trying to get these movies on DVD as close to the laserdisc source as possible.

{EDIT} I don't have any screen caps as I haven't encoded anything yet.

Update:
I'm half way through capturing the LDs. (Multiple captures to average).
Yesterday I bought (75 euro's damn it) a Creative Soundblaster with optical S/PDIF in on ebay so I can make a bit-accurate capture of the audio.
I still don't know what to do with the audio. A PCM track would probable be most people's choice but then the maximum video bitrate then will be +/- 8200 kbps. If I can make a DTS track (at 768 kbps) which sounds just as good as the PCM track the maximum video bitrate can be +/- 9000 kbps. I wonder if I feed the 2 channels (with matrixed surround information) of the bit-accurate capture to the DTS encoder the surround information will be preserved, or I have to make discrete channels of the PCM track and feed those to the DTS encoder. Any suggestions???

Stereo to 5.1

Time
I'm looking for a simple but good way to upmix stereo to 5.1 (stereo wave file to 6 mono wave files). I wanted to try "surroundboy's" method (from doom9 forum) but some pics with settings are missing. I also tried a plugin for nuendo but I think it's to complicated and there are to many options. I also found this method:

Import stereo wav in Adobe Audition,Multitrack layout,wiev Multichannel Encoder,on the right side there is track options,I choose surround panner,stereo source,adjust sub channel level to 50,center channel 100,track level 100.Export options:Export as 6 individual mono wave files.After that import just the LFE in Sound Forge & apply resonant filter @ 65 Hz,Resonance 2.0,Wet/Dry 100%,Apply filter settings & export as 48000,32 Bit mono.The LFE now is set all I need now is surround "effect".
Import the LeftSurround & RightSurround in Sound Forge apply "AnalogX Vocal Remover" & export them again to the same dir where I have the other files.Now I have 6 mono wave files ready for encoding AC3,DTS.

Is this any good?
My 5.1 set uses dolby pro logic II to convert stereo to surround, is there a software version for this?

They'll probably have menus (my first version had). I'll be very busy for the next 3-4 weeks so I don't have much time to work on the transfer but I think it'll be finished by the end of the year. I do have editdroid, moth3r and citizen transfers. But I won't really compare them to those. I won't do any sharpening or denoising (I think the side effects are to great). It'll be pretty much as it is plays on my 2950. The contrast will be higher though otherwise the image looks a bit foggy in some scenes. Tomorrow I get Wer-Al_Zwowe's set so I can do a double capture.
