You may need to use the beta key as I have to make it work(to use go to help>register in the client’s toolbar):

The dev says the key expires November 2016 so we’d all better make the most of it.

Every time they update it, the expiration is pushed back. Don’t worry about having to pay for it.

Your frame comparisons are very helpful. Can you make them PNGs or at least try to alleviate some of that macroblocking in the blacks?

The images I upload are PNGs. I’d assume any problems are either caused by the website compressing the image(if it does that) or either handbrake which I use to extract the clip in the first place or the video editing software I use.

Handbrake is bad about compression in my past experience.

From my research, these are probably gonna be the best choices for Laserdisc audio. These are the 1991 Widescreen Edition re-releases. VI has THX audio, so I don’t know if it’s a remix or not. Not familiar enough with Star Trek to comment on that sort of thing, but when projects have Laserdisc audio I pay attention lol.

Maybe the Japanese Laserdisc would have better audio, but it still commands crazy high prices even today.

The 1989 LD has Dolby Surround English audio, while the 1998 one has only mono. I wonder what audio tracks were used in that project of the Australian BD with all the bonus features here.
