I had no problems whatsoever watching it in WMP.Also, as for the corners, I'd suggest leaving them as-is; I didn't even notice them until I remembered to check.
Maybe it's just the way the film shakes around, but the pulldown looks jerkier than usual to my eyes? Or maybe I'm just imagining it.
Recent versions of WMP can play it.
I will leave the corners... they look cleaner than I was expecting.
The jerky pulldown is something I need to find a way to fix. For the PG, the video and audio streams were separate, and I did pulldown by setting the pulldown flag and letting the player slow it down (I only did a temporary pulldown so I could ensure that the pulled-down video would match the separately-encoded and correct-speed audio). Since I knew for this demo I was going to encode them together, I did pulldown in software using cinecap (it adds frames according to standard patterns), before encoding. I agree that the results aren't entirely satisfactory.
Cinecap is capable of adding interpolated frames, which is supposed to make it smoother - but I've never liked doing that because it makes it harder if someone else wants to edit it later. I still don't know what is the process I will use to ultimately encode PSB. So I'm open to suggestions in that regard, and with respect to doing the pulldown.
