Interlace is different from telecine.

The GOUT master was probably oversharpened (which probably created the jaggies) to look better when played as a Laserdisc. And to mask the jaggies for the dvd release they probably applied a vblur.


So there were jaggies on the '93 master and laserdiscs? By oversharpened, do you mean edge enhancement? I don't remember seeing them, not even in X0 caps. What exactly would I see? And these jaggies are different from the ones that you get with an interlaced picture?
If by "jaggies" you mean the aliasing, then yes it's on the Faces and DC laserdiscs, too. The aliasing is sort of a breaking up of horizontal lines (layman's explanation) ;-)

FWIW, not too long ago Zion mentioned something in one of the threads about the Gout and the DC laserdiscs (as played on the X0 machine), being about equivalent in terms of picture quality.
