Sorry, crossed wires, I didn't question interlacing as I know how to deal with editing/creating/removing it (also why NTSC is an annoying 29.97/59.94fps and not a round 30/60), I meant why did they master the definitive collection LDs in such a way as to lose half of the picture quality.
It's almost as if they took an image that was 2x the height and instead of smoothly halving the height they just removed every other line.
