I'm just making a first attempt at converting my ESB disc to 16:9 - this is a great guide, really useful. Just one or two questions, though -

In the HCgui settings it's advised to 'Open settings1 tab and choose "progressive"'. Presumably this only applies to NTSC sources? Only it seemed that the original demonstration was actually based on a PAL disc, so it seems a strange thing to suggest...

Also, VobBlanker is recommended for reintegrating the new video into the old menu structure. I've had a look, and the 'replace' option seems to need an IFO file for the new stream - does the HCgui encoder actually produce one of these, alongside the converted video?

Thanks for any thoughts!
