I wouldn't say it was a fair representation as it's MPEG4 / AC3 encoded. That's like if you'd put up the preview PNG as a JPEG.
seems odd to offer a WIP of something being done as losslessly as possible in a lossy format?
Other than that, it looks like the capture works well, hope it the various home system / arcade laserdiscs come out as well, the original versions of many of them need preserving before all that's available are HD remasters.
It will be nice to see the existing ones recaptured without errors too. Either the source discs MAME used for Mach3 before were corrupt, or the capture process didn't pick up the audio tracks correctly, hence bugs like http://mametesters.org/view.php?id=3223 where it's trying to read the tracking data from the audio track, can't, so just gives you an error message. IIRC some of the other platforms store code in the audio tracks too so they can load a small program specific to the laserdisc. (Laseractive maybe?)
