Can you give an example of the IVTC errors you are seeing on the GOUT disc? I noticed some flickering on R2D2 in a couple of places, which I think is an IVTC problem, but I've never seen any combing artefacts.

141781 thru 141784 are combed in the NTSC ROTJ (also happens to be the beginning of a reel)

These are perfect examples. It also makes sense that the pal is not showing these as it has less information to add from a 23.98 source, and less to remove from a 29.97 when going back to 23.98.

Now a days when we use a machine called an Alchemist to do our 23.98 to 29.97 conversions there are several options on how to handle the fields. One of which is blurring. Some clients would rather have this than the jagged lines that tend to appear on scenes with very fast motion. I notice it most in peoples hands as the move them around. You will get almost a doubled blurred effect. Its not as harsh as the jagged lines, but not any better.

This can be seen a lot throughout the gout version. I will try and post some pics of it later. Seeing as how this has gone through two conversions (one up to 29.97 to make the D1, and then back down to 23.98 for the DVD) its no wonder its there.
