Hi there

I connect the LD video to the video input of a PCI tuner card in a PC, and use the DScaler program to enhance the image (e.g. smooth out the jaggies). (The PC is connected to a CRT front projector with an 80" screen and 1280x960 or 720p resolution.) Depending on the LD title, the PQ is rather soft to decent. A simple upscale (w/o DScaler) will be okay about 90% of the time, but then there will be a scene with jaggies that will ruin the PQ.

Regards
