Citizen, are you sure that the jaggedness is not caused by capturing to DV format?

The "burns" on the PAL discs, if I'm correct, seem to occur regularly on the frame prior to a scene change. However, I think the DC set exhibits the same defects, so maybe Karyudo is talking about something else. I don't have the ability or patience to rotoscope out such things, and I don't find dirt/scratches too objectionable (I feel they add a little authenticity and "retro" feel to the transfer ).

The dot crawl is a bit disappointing, and it's exacerbated by the sharpening. I realise it's because the 3-line 2D comb filter in the D925 isn't the best. Karyudo, do you think that capturing from the composite output of a 2950 with a SweetSpot card (contains a more advanced 3D comb filter) would give a visible improvement?
