The chances of 5 captures being perfectly aligned are not very good due to the analog nature of the laserdisc. If I understand right, the tbc can and will shift the picture up or down/left or right a pixel or 2 randomly each time you play it depending upon how it picks up the incoming signal for that specific capture. A normal median or toot cannot account for this and you end up with a blurry picture afterwards. The 5pass average or 3pass average, being motion compensated, will adjust accordingly and prevent misalignment. In this regard I'd say it's 100 percent better than using toot or median. As far as speed goes, it's probably quite a bit slower.
