@zion: Remember me? I'm the guy who dreamed up TooT (although I didn't code it), and I hooked you up with the font you needed for your menu. I've finally found this forum, and your thread in particular (obviously...), and so far I'm pretty impressed. Sorta too bad you're working from US NTSC (the Japanese Collector's Set is the same transfer, but with better black levels and contrast, in my somewhat-learned opinion -- and PAL is even better), but you've got it looking about as nice as I've seen anywhere.

@Laserschwert: Yes, please: post a link to LimitedSharpen! Your latest script is pretty hot. My raw PAL cap looks about as good as the heavily-tweaked NTSC cap, so I don't need v1 through v3 -- but I'm really interested in v4 onwards. [Slightly OT: Also, maybe you'll know definitively: does PAL need IVTC? No, I know it doesn't need 3:2 pulldown reversal, but PAL is still interlaced on telecining, so I wonder if it would benefit from some Telecide() work -- without Decimate -- to get rid of 2:2 pulldown?]

FYI, my latest efforts involve variations on TooT, and rotoscoping of dust/scratches/etc. It's time-consuming (I could use a team of rotoscope artists -- aka people with Photoshop/Paintshop Pro/Gimp with enough patience to scroll through thousands of frames and paint over dust specks), but I think that's something never before seen in OT LD preservations, and I think the results are pretty nice. Maybe one of these days I should start my own thread??
