If you have time, do a quick capture of the spot that gave msycamore so much trouble? I'd like to finally nail down if it's something unusual with the LD master or an anomaly with my DVD recorder.

Hi SilverWook! I think the spot you're thinking about is the conversation between THX and LUH when he get to know about her shift change. But the problem was that the captures lacked frames/fields in different spots, so unfortunately something weird happened when these were being recorded. I wish there was an easy way for us to figure out what exactly caused this, I suspect the recorder being the culprit as captures on different players have these issues. Not funny if future recordings are to be made and not knowing if they will be all right or not. :(

Any theories on what could have caused this weird hiccup anyone? Both fields and frames missing on different spots between captures. I can try to post a sample of a problematic spot. Not that I think we would be any wiser from it. The only thing I can think of is if you could check other recordings you've made with the same equipment and see if you can perform IVTC on them successfully.

If the recorder hicupped in the same scene across different captures, it might be something that was non Kosher in LD master. Something the players cheerfully ignore, but becomes an issue when capturing it. After all, nobody ever anticipated using old analog video transfers this way.

I blame Coily in any case...
