Doctor M, from what I understand, TomsMoComp is only for video-based material.


The sad thing is, the new DVDs ARE based on video material.


How do you figure? Obviously they were shot on 24fps 35mm film, and any decent de-interlacer will recognize the flag sequence and properly reconstruct the 2:3 pulldown sequence to produce 60 field per second video (NTSC). A video based DVD would be something like a concert video shot with a 60 frames per second interlaced video camera.


I was talking about the DVD transfer being video-based, since the source for it was the D1-tape that were used for the laserdiscs. Obviously the pulldown wasn't realized as decent as it'd be possible, otherwise you wouldn't have the problem of deinterlacing-artifacts (which are obviously visible in certain scenes). And since some of these "stairsteps" are already visible on the Laserdiscs (I remember this problem being discussed in Zion's old transfer thread), they did already mess up when creating the D1-tape(s).
