Hello to everybody,
I just think to open my own topic about laserdiscs, restoration video and so on... I have a not big collection of music on laserdisc, Also I am a researcher in video restoration, digitization and improvement video. I will be happy to connect to people who are interested in it. I will show some of my projects in future.

Believe that PFClean also offers such tools as well. I try everything to use that I have. In this case I used PFclean. I will show the final result of the video.

Thanks man, in reality it looks much better. It is because of youtube compression. pokefraker wrote: I'd love to see a restored version of the "Here comes the Men in Black" music video. Give me some time, I think I can help you in it... Updated: I just found it, fix some color issues and upconvert it for you https://vimeo.com/355742941/3bd5f18ff5 you can download original file if login.

Looks very clean to be sourced from a Laserdisc, though it looks like you've kept the 7.5IRE black level untouched. Could be for archival purposes however. I'll see if I can get some LD content off my digitizing setup and run through Phoenix next week (got a CLD-D604 with external TBC plus a Teranex as well as Hyperdeck for processing and capturing).

I could, I have a lot of stuff shot on the street from the '90s and it looks like this. Something about the camera tech used I think

I always show the last chapter of this disc ( Madonna's live performance of Vogue ) because the video looks so incredibly good on this. The picture is absolutely perfect like it is a 1:1 transfer of the master tape. It is better than the DVD where you can see compression artefacts. For 4:3 aspect ratio video laserdisc is perfect. Because when you shoot on film you have to convert 24 frames per second to 50 or 60 fields per second interlaced and it never fits. Things shot on video at 50/60 back in NTSC days would usually stay that way all through the process to the LD/VHS version. When you have an all SD setup the difference is stark. The music video for Something There by Chage and Aska is amazingly immersive on a Trinitron but when you move even to an HD CRT you lose that extra pop. Another thing that’s super crisp on an all NTSC setup is Kyukyoku Chojin "R" (1992) [BEAL-453] which is basically a travel LD. People can forget how good NTSC was. It sucked, but it it still had its highs and lows.
