Here's a copy if anybody would find it useful.

Hello:
I'm up to reading page 24 of this X0 project thread on originaltrilogy forum I was wondering if you would be able to tell me what specific hardware and software you used for your project.
Also, I'm trying to get access to or purchase a HLD-X0 player to do laser disc captures of CAV NTSC Japanese animation, such as Macross: Do you remember love? movie.
You have been an inspiration for getting other laser disc projects started.
Thank you!

So, basically anybody can pick up from where 5avage left off?
What would be the best video source material for a Game of Death fan edit?
1. G.O.D. (fortune star version)
2. The Warrior's journey
3. Bruce Lee : Legend
There was a guy on youtube who did a fanedit of Game of Death called G.O.D. : the Integral version, which he said turned out to be 2 1/2 hours long! The youtube clips he showed on youtube looked pretty good. Has anybody ever seen G.O.D. integral?
Just wondering, thanks!
Hi:

Thanks!
