The starfield thing was one of those 2am ideas that we weren't sure would fly, and it was immensely satisfying when the stars popped back into existence after the first code run!

Very much look forward to receiving any code you're willing to share, I'm curious to see what the starfield cleanup code does to the PAL LD footage and how it copes when they're moving instead of (supposed to be) static.

The 2am ideas thing, yeah I know about that one, I think it was a late night years ago when I was trying to code autosterograms from scratch (nobody would share their code online) that I figured out that one line of code that did the trick to making my own 'magic eye' pictures.

I'm glad I'm not the only idiot that spent his time reverse engineering the whole Magic eye thing, I even went as far to work out an animated version of it that nearly sent me blind. For a while there I couldn't look at any repeating pattern without it flipping into 3D, security doors, grills, wallpaper.. I had to stop 'freeviewing' for a while.

Thanks for all the links guys, but the forum owners probably don't want us filling the forum with 'free ads' for ebay auctions, so it might be best to PM or e-mail them.

We had a play with the starfield recovery on the PAL discs, it did noticably beef up the star count, but not as drastically - which is to be expected as less were 'missing' to start with.
Re the 'movement' I do a tracking pass in shake so that you don't just end up with that sort of problem.
