In fact I prefer my Polish QDVD with dts sound to the MUSE disc I got. The compression artefacts are quite severe. I think I am no longer interested in buying any of the MUSE film discs. They are simply not worth it in my opinion. Stargate does look better than Basic Instinct but still it is not an impressive release. ...
So, to be honest, HLD X9 or X0 is mainly nice to have for the excellent transport and read out for NTSC discs and the HD part of it is only a nice extra for the very few well mastered titles?

My interest is in the non-"movie" materials, such as the Imperial Wedding Ceremony documentary. And in the technology, of course. But it's desperately unfortunate that there wasn't a wider selection of releases, & that the film-source discs weren't better mastered. I have certain suspicions as to how that happened.

How difficult is it to find the Imperial Wedding Ceremony ? That is a title I am very much interested in. I will also buy a W-VHS recoder soon. They are very cheap on Yahoo Auction. I saw some for 30000 Yen. That would mean additional fodder for my MUSE decoder. Well, you are mentioning some valid points, svwees. The transport is indeed excellent however it doesn't make a bad master look any better. Last night I test played my Korean copy of a well-known Mickey Rourke film. They used the same master as they did for the VHS release of this movie. The video quality was horrible. The disc even has a Korean language warning at the beginning of the disc "asking" people not to make an illegal copy of their VHS cassette. Come on, this is a Laserdisc not a VHS tape ! I mainly bought the player because it simply looks cool and because I am very much interested in the MUSE technology. But the number of releases is indeed somewhat limited

Honestly, I do not know whether Imperial Wedding Ceremony is any harder to obtain than any of the other 00MW releases, which seem to come up for sale much more seldom than the movie discs. You should be aware that W-VHS is not a MUSE recording format. In other words, it does not store the MUSE signal, but rather an analog component signal of limited quality (12 MHz resolution). It has component inputs & outputs, & one application was to record Hi-Vision broadcasts using a MUSE decoder to feed those inputs.

In Asia it's fairly easy to find true 230V -> 115V or 100V units (doing both). In Singapore, I'm using a unit similar to this one to power up my (Japanese) A/V Amp, LD player, DVD player, MUSE decoder and even my USA HDDVD player (working fine on 100V). In France, I had to contact a retail company to have them order a custom-made 1kVA 230 ->100V unit, but that was worth it. I have it for sale and could ship it from Paris when I come back around Xmas. Julien Hi Julien, I'm looking for a power converter to power an X9 is this still for sale and are you still in Paris?
