The 'tizziness' is actually some sort of inteference lines at 45degrees on the picture (bottom left to top right), the filters bring it out a lot more on the XviD version because of the higher resolution it's at and the higher resolution of monitors, however watching the DVD version on my 28" widescreen tv (no anamorphic->letterbox compression as with a 4:3 tv) through RGB connection it's difficult to spot the 'tizziness' is there, and if you're viewing it through a composite connection I think that would help mask it further. Which is why it hasn't bothered me enough to start saving up for another laserdisc player.

The only annoyance I'm having at the moment is the colour disappearing from the very top/bottom lines of the picture on the DVD, caused by the block compression of mpeg2 it means some of the blocks are compressing pure black right next to pixels of the film which means not enough colour information is being stored. Trying to work out if there's any way round it without resizing the footage to perfectly fit the mpeg compression blocks but that would mean an incorrect aspect ratio. Damn mpeg, hurry up HD and arrive everywhere in the world soon!
