#3DS stars
Yes, we do. However, that wasn't the direction that the original
question was taking. On first generation, especially at the higher
horizontal resolution the LVR is capable of, there are times it would
be very hard to distinguish from D1, and may even look better!
However, I totally agree that the "0" generation loss quickly makes
up for these in editing!
We do all our previews to the DPS-PAR, next iteration to Laser Disk,
then final output to D1 if required. (I don't have a D1 in-house
[yet])
