It does.
I am not certain if it is capable to clean the PAL source up quite as much as the NTSC source, but the PAL source seems to respond well to similar filters. The PAL conversions looked good to me. I prefer the NTSC audio, having grown up with it, and there’s a very slight color difference between PAL and NTSC, but it seems to me like those conversions were done really well.
Until recently, I thought I might use the PAL source myself.
Ani,
One difference I do know between PAL and NTSC is that PAL doesn’t have the same problems with aliasing that I’m trying to clean up with commands like TR2=5 or TR2=4. Some of the issues I have spent time fixing for NTSC just aren’t in the PAL copy.
The native DVD credits for NTSC look terrible compared to PAL.
The audio I will be able to handle (I know how to adjust the original NTSC audio so it fits/syncs with PAL without any pitch issues (so the original will be preserved, for I prefer it as well, besides the NTSC is there in 448 kbits, while the english PAl only has 384).
Also, I have developed a modified qtgmc string to better accomodate PAL and I also added a couple of filter tweaks, so the PAL will look “cleaner/sharper”.
I have already done a sample according to my setup and will upload comparison shots as well as a sample soon.
