The AVS script was simple. Anyone who has this DVD knows that the video is window-boxed. I did not crop and resize the video. All I did was performed IVTC on the video. My Telecide script is below: Telecide(Guide=1,Gthresh=75,Threshold=30,Chroma=true) Decimate(cycle=5) But the subtitling, now that was a bit of a pain. But I finally got it to synch perfectly. I borrowed the subtitle script from the DVD Subber ZDS file. Tweaked the timing in Substation Alpha. Then authored it in DVD Maestro. And whollah! I watched this last night on my Dobly Pro Logic 2 surround setup and I must say that this flick has the most impressive Dolby Surround track I have heard in a long while. I can up a small DIVX sample if someone has some webspace.
I have the same problem with this exact same DVD... and got banned from Neuron2's forum for asking too many questions. I ended up settling on encoding the video as straight interlaced, as doing that masked the artifacts pretty well. They're still there, of course, but they don't show up at all during viewing. I was shocked at how poor the transfer was on this movie, but I recently saw that the new release of Mazinkaizer from ADV suffers the same weird interlacing artifacts. I'll definitely check out your decomb settings though and see how it looks. Nice to see someone else interested in this particular disc. ^_^ I'm actually working on the subtitles now, correcting and filling in some holes while reworking the timing and flow of the script. Kai
I'm well aware you can ban me, Donald. If it'll give you some kind of thrill to "impose sanctions", then feel free to do so. If I wish to post, I'll be more than happy to use another nick or proxy I've already set up to circumvent the "punishment" you dish out during one of your power trips. Seriously, lose the thin skin and the attitude, dude. You're a far more useful mammal without them. Kai

BBQmyNUTZ: Why don't you try KernelDeint instead of SmoothDeinterlace? Also, would you be willing to use mfToon? It works miracles on anime. Also, I'd like to ask you something that probably shouldn't be posted here. Mail me at .
