Yes, there is an occasional bit of aliasing, but when compared to the 2006 GOUT DVDs, I'd say it's 90% eliminated.  I'd love to know what technical process was used to reduce/eliminate the aliasing?  I came here in 2006 in attempts to correct the aliasing myself, and upscale the GOUT DVDs to anamorphic.  I succeeded in the anamorphic part, but never got anywhere with the aliasing.

I tried many methods until I found an avisynth plugin called QTGMC which on its very slowest setting did an amazing job on antialiasing. Especially since it didn't destroy any detail while doing it.

Also, how did you guys get so much damn detail out of the original source?  So impressive.

It's a combination of a careful upscaling and using Msharpen to dig out detail from within the grain.

I have downloaded but not watched the 97SE, yet.  What was the source for this one?

The so called TB version. We looked at all available sources and this one had the most preserved detail.

 Yoo Too, would you be able to tell me what setting you used on msharpen, and which resizing filters you used? I have some other videos I want to upscale, and I've already taken care of noise and aliasing, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to scale to HD.

Thanks
