I've now found the readme for EEDI2(), so I'm going to try tweaking the parameters DE mentioned. The danger is that if you tweak it to detect weaker/shallower edges, it may give you unwanted artefacts elsewhere.

I agree, that doesn't even look like a line anymore. You might want to try NNEDI (the recently released successor to EEDI2), but I doubt it will do much good.

I also tried DeGrainMedian in conjunction with MVDegrain2. It performed slightly better at removing grain but unfortunately removed detail out of motion/panning scenes (which are already in poor shape after being trashed by the '90s DVNR algorithms).

Yeah, those jaggies are probably well beyond any attempt at automatic fixing. In any case, if you're going to use EEDI2, I'd strongly recommend you in the way I mentioned earlier:
EEDI2().TurnRight().EEDI2().TurnLeft()

It stands to reason that the above line should help in most cases as it processes along both the horizontal and vertical axis, therefore jagged lines that are too steep for the first part should be easily handled by the second one.

I've also been testing a gamma adjustment to the luminance levels and an increase in the colour saturation; it looks better on my PC's monitor (greys are blacker and pinks are redder) but I've yet to view on my main TV.

There's nothing "missing" in a vertical sense, so that won't work. It's not that the jagged lines are too steep, and wouldn't be after rotation, but that they're the wrong kind of jagged lines

I tried to make my own transfer of the movie like you described it here, because this looks very, very good. But I get always some errors and I'm not sure, if I did use the right avisynth-plugins. Some of them were not easy to find for download and I'm not sure, if they are the right plugins, that I downloaded. So, would you be willing to zip your avisynth-plugins used for this and post them maybe to rapidshare (for example) so that I could try it again?
This would be nice.

could you post the "dustv5.dll"?

Becasue it's a filter written for the old 2.0x version of AviSynth, you will need to use the LoadPluginEx.dll to load it, as described on this page:

I've been trying to do my encodings, but now I always get this error:
import: couldn't open "C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\avsfilter.vdf.avs"
In my plugin-directory is no avsfilter.vdf.avs, there is only a "avsfilter.vdf"
Do you have any ideas?

In the end, after discussions in the GOUT Film Grain thread, I only used a very subtle degrainer - just enough to "take the edge off" the grain present in the GOUT video.
There are still issues with near-horizontal edges and loss of vertical detail, as well as the smearing and trails from the DVNR process. These defects can only be fixed by returning to pre-THX laserdisc sources, or a colour-corrected and "de-specialed" SE/DVD/HDTV source.

Would you say your anti-alised version is an improvement (in terms of video quality) over your PAL laserdisc transfer?
You know of the rebellion against the Empire?

This version is my disc of choice ATM. It doesn't have the missing screenwipe, line drops or halos that my previous LD capture had. The adjusted colour also seems to be much more "cinematic". And of course the audio is at the correct level with no glitches.
However, I cannot watch this without noticing the issues mentioned in my above post. (I guess I'm just very picky.) Maybe a new laserdisc transfer, using the knowledge I've gained since I did the original, would fare better.

the improvement of the picture quality is incedible.
Could you post your avisynth-script, that you were using at last for your anti-aliased version?

Everything worked fine, as long as I encode without this line: "source.FlimsYLevels(10)"
When I do the encodings with this line in the avisynth-script, I get always this error: there is no function named "FilmsYLevels".
I searched in the doom9 forum and found this link here: Link
I installed the MaskTools-v1.5.5.dll but maybe I need another avisynth-plugin???
Any ideas?

I'm guessing it's a typo... FilmsYLevels is probably what it should be.
