That's actually a very good idea. I need to verify the fps of the film (believe it or not, I haven't bothered to determine it yet... capture is at 6fps and at that speed you can't really tell). Presuming it's 24, my software (Vegas and TMPGE) should be able to do it... I don't think I'd even need pulldown.exe. Hmm, what do I do if it's 18fps? Also, Boba remarked that on his transfer, the audio sounds "too fast", so we were mulling over the possibility of doing an irregular pulldown to correct that (rather than trying to adjust the pitch, due to possible artifacts). Doing it your way, on the other hand, could make it easier to stuff the whole thing onto one DVD with high bitrate and extras. I've never edited in 23.976 - this should be interesting.
If you're sending raw copies to people, I'd like to see the X0 Project get one before pretty much anyone else. I'd love to have one, but it'd be sorta useless in my hands...

I'll be happy to send them a copy. But honestly, the resolution on these films is so low that it would be utterly useless to them - unless they had a need for some esoteric information hidden in some lost frame. Or if they wanted to tack on the giant "THE END" for comic relief.
