Thanks, I've got an early proof of concept as well, if you guys are interested:

It was deliberately left as unprocessed as possible, so it's more of a demonstration of what's there to work with, not what is possible with full reconstruction, and I have since enlisted the help of someone far more masterful than me to take over in that department so any final results will blow this away. One thing I will say is unfortunately the LDs are still plagued with the same source media issues (and are still in 480i format) that the DVDs are, so it's not a perfect solution, but the digital compression is non-existent, YAY!

As for Voyager LD's I have about 75% of them, they are incredibly rare and only available from Japan.

Given the cost of the archival footage upgrades for the DS9 documentary ‘What we left behind’, it’s really surprising that they didn’t work from the LDs as one of their sources.

Good to know that the Voyager LDs exist even if compiling a complete set may be the challenge.
