Sorry for the long breaks between updates.

I finished the Great Heep episode.  Using SRestore for standard scenes and then a simple blend for the panning/zooming scenes.  It took a while going through the mini-movie scene by scene but the results are pretty nice.  It is also now 23.976fps (via slowdown) and 720x480 to keep with the rest of the NTSC set.  

Here is the video track just to show you how many cuts had to be made.

Now I am just waiting to get my Droids 3 tape back from Ringwraith so I can copy the English audio from it with my current setup.  My backup Droids 3 tape that I have is somewhat lacking and has nasty spots all over it.

Oh, and I haven't finalized Coby yet but I have been tweaking my process a little here and there for it.

And I have been toying with some 640x480 encodes and they do look pretty much as good as the 720x480 encodes.  But I have been unable to replicate the AR display problem that Moth3r had.  It may be best though to keep the mp4 set 640x480 just to avoid any problems. 

Remember, I do plan on releasing a DVD set one day when I track down the Mexican VHS tapes.  And that will be 720x480.
