Tmpeg Encoder was only able to encode the mpeg at 8 bit no matter how many different variations I used in Tmpeg settings to enable the 10 bit processing option. The original DVD mpeg is 8 bit.

But, I was able to remove the 2:3 pulldown flag with DGPulldown software!

I read the ADM guide forum thread that was also posted on the Original Trilogy forum and found the DGPulldown software advise there. In DGPulldown, the mpeg video is loaded in and I just type in 23.97 fps convert to 23.97 fps to remove the pulldown flags. And after removing the pulldown flags from the mpeg, I ran that new 23.97 fps through the Womble GOP fixer again to correct for potential time errors.

Now, I have a 23.97 fps, 720x480, no pull-down flags mpeg that I can use for Video Enhancer.

Video Enhancer does use the loss-less lagarith codec to up-convert the mpeg to an .avi !

I learned that I have to install the latest lagarith and K-lite codec pack to enable Video Enhancer to recognize and process the mpeg video otherwise the mpeg video does not work and a "can't get length" error occurs.

In Video Enhancer, I used the Wizard option for up-scaling.

1. MSU De-blocking: at recommended settings because of the mpeg artifacts

2. 2D De-noiser: at recommended settings

3. Super Resolution: 1920 x 1080 p, non-interlaced at the highest processing quality

4. Lagarith codec: RGB output to match the BD color

The Video Enhancer preview video looks pretty good so far.

3 hours and 10 minutes to up-convert the mpeg into a lagarith .avi !
