Need a simple 3D comb filter for a Pioneer CLD-D925 laserdisc player

147.69.146.134

John C. - Aussie

I'm ripping my laserdiscs into DVD using a recent model Pioneer DVD recorder and am having reasonable success with NTSC laserdiscs using a Pioneer HLD-X9 because it appears to have a good internal comb filter.

However the results are not so good for PAL laserdiscs using the Pioneer CLD-D925 and I suspect that is because the comb filter in it is not so great.

I have an iScan VP50 PRO which does a super job when used with the Onkyo and projector but it cannot be used for the DVDR because it upscales.

So, I've been searching for a 3D comb filter to handle composite analog in and SD video out via s-video to feed into the DVDR but cannot find what I want. All the video processors found so far are like the iScan VP50 PRO which take heaps of inputs and upscale. I see there are chips around which might suit but I'm out of my depth in any attempt to configure one of those.

Any suggestions?

TIA

According to the document below, the iScan VP50 PRO outputs 480p and should work for you. Another option would be a Gefen HDMI to Composite and S-Video Scaler

or something similar.

  Thanks for responding. You are correct about the iScan VP50m PRO, it does a superb jog for video to the main system BUT but the Pioneer DVD recorder will only accept SD.
  
  But I finally have found the answer - just feed composite (and laserdiscs are analog composite video) into the DVDR and let it do the processing. The comb filter in it is far superior to that in any ancient LD player.

Is a Crystal Vision VPS-1 the answer? But does it handle PAL?? Anyone know? - John C. - Aussie 17:32:49 05/27/14 (2)
Interest inn analog video is not great so I'm finding answers about the Crystal Vision VPS-1 hard to find.

Anyone know if it handles PAL?

Even better, if it does, does anyone have one for sale??

TIA

  I do not know but I doubt it will handle PAL. You could try contacting the manufacturer.

    Thanks.
    
    I did try contacting them last week but they never responded. However I've since found the solution - see my other posting.
