I had thought the second version abandoned.
Yeah, I'm sorry to say it but I ran out of steam, with a better capture... I only made a recalibrated and aspect ratio corrected version.

Msycamore, are you using G-force's de-rainbow script on your new version?
No, I ultimately didn't. Sorry... I hate the rainbowing as much as you guys and at first I was amazed how incredibly effective the script was compared to others I've tested, I was carefully going to apply it where it didn't cause any visible artifacts but after a close comparison with the unfiltered I saw too many nasty side effects - whenever there's movement there was a loss of detail, smearing and discoloration. There was also desaturation that happened at almost every scene/shot change where the first few frames got affected. So IMO it wasn't worth it.
There's no way around it other than making a better capture, I hate introducing new artifacts just to get rid of another. It did get rid of most of it but at the same time it sucked the life out of the picture. You will find that the recalibrated version I'm going to upload is not as nasty looking when it comes to the chroma noise anyway. The poor setting of the first encode exaggerated the flaws in the capture pretty much.
Btw, is there a synced version of schorman's Technidisc audio rip out there? AC-3 doesn't matter, would like to use his ripped audio instead.
