Doctor M, ready to bin your 'wheel rebuild' of Moth3r's ANH yet?

In the process of putting the Definitive Collection extras onto the DVD I learnt a couple of new video processing tricks, the one I used for the trailers was that you can cut up a piece of footage into two parts, encode the first as interlaced, the 2nd half do 3:2 pulldown removal then encode as progressive then use pulldown.exe to add the 3:2 pulldown flags, then join the two m2v files together and you have a 'hybrid' NTSC mpeg file that when played on an NTSC tv you get interlaced footage that changes to 3:2 pulldown footage, whilst on a PC with a software player you get interlaced footage that changes to progressive footage.
The other was an easy way of extracting out the slideshow images from captured footage and rebuilding them into a new video clip.
BTW, all this time I've been working on the NTSC DL DVD I've had a no-frills PAL SL DVD I made month ago I've been watching far too much.
