Are you seeing this in your video editor? What program are you using?

The only way I can imagine this happening is that you are trying to watch the PAL version under NTSC settings, which is causing 2-3 pulldown to run at 30fps.

These 'artifacts' are showing up in Virtualdub and Womble. I didn't think that PAL was interlaced, I don't understand why I'm seeing these things. If it's just a problem with these programs not playing the video properly, then I guess I should just skip to the next step. I need to get the scenes from the first disc cropped and resized right. Does anybody know the correct numbers to crop by for PAL? I need the first disc's scenes, to match the 2.35:1 anamorphic video of the movie.

MBJ, I will have another look at the version I have at the moment and see if I get those lines in DVD player software or on my standalone player.
