I'm back - things seem to be friendly again (except for an obvious exception that I don't quite understand but whatever).

The latest version looks pretty great given the source material. I was wondering about the scroll at the beginning. It seems to have a lot of ringing in the lettering. Is that in the source, or is that from sharpening?

Regarding the aliasing (no I won't let it rest until it is solved), I remember ATI coming out with something called "motion adaptive de-interlacing" in their video card drivers back when video card technology was really taking off. That technology might work well here. Here is how you do it (lol): http://www.google.com/patents/US6459455
