I'd stay well clear of the later Pioneer models, especially the SATA ones like the DVR-215. It just refuses to burn dual layer discs, even with the latest firmware (i have 2 drives and both have the same problem). Failed to burn any, including verbatim, yet when i try the same discs in my external LG drive they burn with a 100% success rate. I would recommend the LG drives over the newer Pioneer ones anyday


That's weird. Not sure of the SATA models, but Dark Jedi recommended the Pioneer DVR115D to me, and I have never had better luck with a burner. It's light years beyond anything else that I've ever used.

Sooo.........when can I get...............just kidding. You have more patience than I do Adywan, and that's saying a lot.

I'm glad that I didn't have dicks hounding me about my edit being like you do.

Thanks for all your work. I look forward to whatever editions you release, whenever you release them. I'll try to figure out something to occupy myself with in the meantime. Maybe.....life, or something like that.

Does anyone know what the "official" covers for both the Farsight and Rowman Definitive Collections Supplementals discs look like? I have several Blaksvn covers from an old DVD of star wars covers, but I can't figure out what goes with what.

I can post small pics of what I have if it helps.

Blaksvn/Rikter made a matching set for the 4 Rowman discs (The Ultimate Supplemental Collection). Disc 1 is for the DC LD extras. Is this the one you have?

That is the Rowman set that I have, though I don't have the 4th cover (the LD extras cover), so if you could kindly upload it/send it to me, that would rule some school.

Still can't find out which cover is supposed to go with the farsight set.

Reave, the LD-V4400 is an industrial player that looks similar to the LD-V8000 that Laserman recommended (NTSC-only, single side play, BNC connector).

So, together with a decent comb filter, I would expect it to be capable of good results (but bear in mind I'm no expert, so I'd advise getting a second opinion before purchasing).



Do you mean it looks similar in the sense that it has similar specs? The only info I can find about the player is that it has a rock-solid spindle motor, and these specs:

Video Signal
Output Level - 1volt p-p ±10% (75 ohms terminated)
Horizontal Resolution - 425 lines
Signal to Noise Ratio - 50 dB (unweighted EIAJ)

Video Output - (1) RCA jack (75 ohms terminated), BNC composite sync/loop thru

Audio Output (1-set) RCA jacks (auto digital) (2-sets) RCA jacks (auto digital) (1-set) RCA jacks (auto digital)
Digital RS-232C Serial I/F, D-sub 15pin,1.2k/2.4k/4.8k/9.6k (bps)

Pick Up Mechanism - 780 nono-meter Laser Diode

DIGITAL AUDIO (LD & CD)
Output Level -200mVolts ±15%; 1kHz at -20dB
Frequency Response - 4Hz - 20kHz ± 0.5dB
Signal to Noise Ratio - better than 102 dB


Obviously I know what the different outputs are, but the video signal numbers mean nothing to me. Can somebody translate?

Here is the info I could find about the highly regarded LD-V8000, if that helps:

Video output

Level 1 Vp-p nominal, sync negative
Impedance terminated 75 ohm unbalanced
Terminal Pin jack

Audio Output
AUTO/DIGITAL 2 channels (1/L, 2/R)
ANALOG ONLY 2 channels (3/L, 4/R)
Level 500 mV nominal (1 kHz 100% modulation,
50 k-ohm terminated)
Terminal Two RCA jacks
External Sync
Composite Sync
Level MIN: +2 -2 V, MAX: +2 -4 V
Impedance 75-ohm
Terminal
Input BNC jack (2)
Output BNC jack (1)


I already own the unit, I picked it up at a garage sale on a whim because it was mint in a sealed box, and only $20. But if it's not going to put out a preservation-worthy picture, I'll sell it and find a LD-V8000.

Also, about the comb filter. If that is not something that is on board the LD player, do I buy a comb filter unit, or is that a software thing? Excuse my ignorance in this matter :), and thanks for your help!
