Hmmm I'm not really sure what you mean by "shakes during movement". There is a slight bit of jerkiness, I'll grant you that, but frankly it doesn't look all that bad to me. I'll post a DVD-5 version for you soon for you to evaluate. Hopefully that'll be better.

I know that there is some -- "jerkiness" would probably not be the right word to describe it -- in the audio at some places, especially in the loud brass sections. After ripping my DVDs to my hard drive, I changed the framerate from 23.97 to 24 and used BeSweet to speed up the audio to match it (while keeping the pitch the same) and I guess that process came with a price. (Yes, by speeding up the movie ever so slightly, I guess I was cheating, in a way, since part of the "abridgement" came from the 0.125% increase in speed, which is really unnoticeable but adds up over time.)

If enough people show an interest in this project, maybe one day when I have time I will go back to my source files and try to fix all the problems. Till then, though, this is all I have to give.
