As stated previously in another post, I am recording the LD over to a DVD-RW on my DVD recorder using the HQ+ and LD video setting (set by Pioneer for optimum recording from a Laserdisc) for white/black levels. This isn't the way I'd master a real DVD, but for screen captures of static scenes, it's fine. Blacks are not totally black at the LD video setting, and whites aren't totally white either - not compared to the DVD's I play on the same player and have calibrated using Video Essentials - so this might mean the LD captures actually are worse than the actual Laserdiscs.
This process won't add light to a candle and shadow to a background. It won't erase or thin out lines in animation, and it won't completely change the color on an image.
