Topic: best way to capture Laserdisc (need help)

I have a question about the best way to capture laserdisc

1. what software to use when capturing ?

2 . Should I de-interlace the image or use filters after I capture

3. should I capture directly to DVD or use lossless codecs like Huffy

4. how to make an anamorphic image from 4:3 widescreen laserdisc ?

5. are their some good tutorials already out there , I cant find any that are that good .

my set up
Fly 2000 TV
Huffy Lossless Codec
PCM audio 4800hz stereo
Philips sa713 capture card
Pioneer CDV v2600 Laserdisc player mtd 1999

ive normally been capturing with huffy and then transfer it to dvd with Tmpgenc , but the results are not very good .
I get Dotcrawl and some blockiness sometimes . I also trim the black bars when I capture and let tmpgenc add them in later .
Iam just looking for a better way to do this . Thanks so much .

I have a bunch of old laserdiscs that I want to transfer to dvd (star wars DE , Blade Runner CE , BS Dracula CE , etc..etc..)

Id be willing to share on Bitorrent if I know what Iam doin

Id like to know how do you make a Anamorphic dvd with a laserdisc source , considering all laserdiscs are 4:3 Widescreen .

do you stretch the image 30% and leave a little of the black bars , or do I delete the black bars and leave the rectangle image ?

Do you lose quality by blowing up the image and what software do you use to do this ?

Right now Ive been using Capture software (ie. Fly 2000 tv , Virtualdub and Tmpgenc) to transfer , but Id like to know what is the best way to do this , what filters , settings etc..etc..

could someone put up a tutorial on something like this, itd be a huge help for people that would like to make their own versions of SW.
