Here's a test sample I did before I finished this DVD with anti-aliasing applied: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GKO0OGP0
I just wanted to show you the trouble I was faced with regarding the aliasing and why I ultimately decided to go unfiltered.
Finished DVD on top, filtered at bottom:
^notice the almost eliminated starfield compared to the unfiltered.
^the ugly jaggies are gone but so are some of the fine detail with a softer image.
Hopefully there's a way to overcome these problems if I ever do a second one. The aliasing was a problem on every widescreen Laserdisc of SW until the Special Editions were released and as we know it only gets more apparent when resizing these old letterbox transfers to 16:9.
