This is obviously directed towards older veterans.
One of my largest FFFFFFUUUUUU moments was learning that rights squabbles meant that unlike the TV and OAV series, the first KOR movie was NOT remastered or released on R2 DVD. I have heard from several sources that the LD version is superior to the R1 DVD. I'm trying to get the best picture quality from an LD player so I can capture the KOR movie from the Japanese LD.
My current player is probably a very cheap model (CLD-Z1), but even with the picture quality coming out subpar, I am pretty sure I can see a significant difference between it and the AE R1, but there is still quite a bit of speckle and a lack of proper combing, leading to jaggies around edges, especially during high movement scenes. There does not appear to be any serious interlacing, however.
Dad owns this same disc, but his has laser rot, I think. Not sure. Vlad, if you're around, you might be an expert on dealing with KOR LDs, so get with me, sir...
