As it stands the problem is either Restore24 is flaky, isn't that smart, or I'm not in using it OR SotS has to many problems.
Either way, what happens is in places there are too many consecutive blended frames and when they're tossed out the movement becomes jerky (like a frame is missing... which it is).
At these points there's nothing to restore, to keep things smooth a blended frame has to be kept.
The newer plan involves my original thought of tossing out all the odd fields (which are about 100% blended) and keep all the even fields (which are 80-90% good).
The result is a half resolution 25 frame/sec video that's neither fish nor fowl.
With a 25 to 29.97 pulldown it'll be cleaner than the original DVD, but with much lower resolution.
So the question is: Is this worth it?
