The hybrid cut was what inspired me to do this. I liked the look but the frame stuttering at the beginning and the lower resolution bothered me.  Sony did something really weird with their bluray. They used progressive video with nonstandard pulldown flags. The hybrid cut used frame dropping instead of removing the pulldown flags, which caused the stuttering. What's worse is that there are a handful of spots that used extra junk frames and left out the pulldown flags, causing the audio to end up a half second out of sync if you just remove the flags without adjusting for the messed up frames.
