Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

The simple & obvious answer finally found!

Thanks for responding Steve.

My problem has been a paranoia about composite being a trash video format. Maybe it can be but the analog laser video is good composite that needs processing and I'm discovering that none of the older (last decade or earlier) comb filters are really very good, even high end ones.

The penny has finally dropped that the Pioneer DVD recorder (a D60) has a better internal comb filter and processor than any of the laserdisc players, even including the much revered HLD-X9 (which I also have).

So the answer to my "problem" is blindingly simple - feed composite from the LD player into the DVDR and let it process that composite video into digital for the DVD. So that is what I am now doing.

What can be more subjective than music? It reflects our personal tastes and preferences.
