LaserDisc Capture Advice
Time

Unfortunately I can't afford the equipment needed to capture the Dolby Digital audio track, so I will be capturing the stereo track instead. I don't have a surround sound system so I wouldn't get the benefit of 5.1 surround any way.

The PAL laserdiscs don't have an AC3 audio track.

Any advice on which input to use (Composite vs S-Video),

Test both, and use the one that gives the best picture quality.

best practice for capturing with my set-up and any recommended filters / effects in FCP would be a massive help!

Sorry I can't help with the Mac side of things.

Cookie MOnsters favorite jokes!
Time

A blond walks into an electrical store and says "I would like to buy that TV please."
The store clerk replies "I'm sorry, we don't do business with blonds."
So she stormed off back to her house and dyed her hair black. The next day,
she went back to the same store and said "I would like to buy that TV please."
The store clerk, once again, replies "sorry, we don't do business with
blonds."
The blond replied "how did you know I was blond?"
The clerk says "because that's not a TV, it's a microwave."

The only difference I know of between the 77 and 85 stereo is, as msycamore said, 3PO's tractor beam line from the mono mix, which isn't in any other version until 1997.  I feel like there are a couple other differences, but I don't know for sure.

The '85 remix also had more stereo separation (i.e. a wider "soundstage") than the original '77 mix. You can hear this in the jawa voices when R2 is captured.
