That's because it's an entirely different transfer. That is a very bad example. And I haven't seen either the Dr. Gonzo or EditDroid set on a 16:9 TV, but I have both and have seen both on 4:3 ones, and the EditDroid blows Dr. Gonzo out of the water. If there were no dot crawl, or greatly reduced dot crawl, I'd say it is perfect DVD quality. But the thing is on my Toshiba setup in my room there isn't any dot crawl at all, but that may be because that's the only TV I'm running with component cables. But if anyone can point me to a way where I can take the original m2v file, run a dot-crawl filter on it so it ends up in a new m2v file and NOT an avi file or anything else because I still have problems converting avi to m2v, please tell me so this would look as good on any TV.
