That's weird. I was using an old copy of PowerDVD that I've used for years and I've never gotten any lines on a movie like that before. I just tried the GOUT discs with Media Player Classic and no lines at all; thanks.

I wonder what is unique about the GOUT discs that makes the lines happen in this old version of PowerDVD.

I watched these DVDs again recently, and after looking closely, the lines are still there even with Media Player Classic, though less noticeable than with the old copy of PowerDVD. They are also noticeable when I play the DVDs on my standalone DVD player connected to a standard resolution 4:3 CRT TV, and they are noticeable when I extract them to ISOs, copy to a flash drive, and play on a WD Live TV media player connected to the same TV.

Here is a 1-minute clip containing the scene I posted in the original post (1:1 copy, no recompression from the GOUT source):

Can someone watch that and see if they can see those horizontal lines? Also, can someone cut that scene from their copy of the GOUT and post it, so I can see how it compares?
