Hmmm, some interesting points to note in this thread:
The sharpening process Moth3r used produces halos around dark edges, No, the halos were not caused by the sharpening (see my post dated 18 April). It's actually an analogue oversharp problem, you can see that the halos are on the left hand side only (if it was digital sharpening it would be both sides). But my version is designed for analogue (CRT) displays, where such things are not as noticable, whereas I understand yours is intended for a digital projector?
Ahh so it's the capture card and/or the LD player that caused the halos? I captured mine on a Pioneer CLD-515 that doesn't have s-video so no combing filters, on a Canopus ADVC-100 which I find produces a very clear image.
I've never seen (heard) a PAL release with preserved pitch.
I hadn't either, so this is a bit surprising. Can anyone confirm this is definitely the case?Ahh so it's the capture card and/or the LD player that caused the halos?

Before I posted that the PAL VHS audio source you're using has had pitch preservation I checked yours against the audio from the NTSC definitive LD:
StarWarsAudioSample-Moth3r-25fps.mp3 47kb
StarWarsAudioSample-Definitive.mp3 49kb
StarWarsAudioSample-Definitive-25fps.mp3 47kb
The Moth3r-25fps.mp3 and Definitive.mp3 sound identical, I sped up the Definitive clip to 25fps to show that Moth3r's audio is at the correct pitch whilst playing back faster, also note the filesizes.
