I think the less resizing you do the better off you will be. I think it would be better if you didn't resize the pal sources to match the script. Just change the cropping and resizes in the script to match the sources you are using. I have no experience with Pal actually. I live in PAL land but I'm american and most of my dvd's are region 1. Are PAL dvd's not natively yv12? I tried to make sure there wouldn't have to be any color format changes.

1) I will have to find my pal discs and do a comparison using your script modification to see if there is a difference in the sources.

2) The gout colors are bad (so is the SE) and I'm currently encoding with g-force's script so that I can use it instead of the raw gout(virtualdub is telling me 6 days as of right now before it's finished). I'd suggest this since the raw footage is a bit of an eyesore when pit against the clarity of the SE.

3) I will probably substitute gout footage for all of the se changes after I have g-force's version to work with.

4)See #2 lol.

5) I've just double checked the move along sequence and didn't see any repeating sequence. Could be a difference in the sources or the script is wrong and my eyes are fooling me.
