I believe that "The Abyss 1989 HDTV 1080i MPEG-2 DD.5.1 REMUX" is the same old hacked-together release of which Chewtobacca wrote: "The stream's riddled with gaps though. Eac3to will demux it, but it crashes MPEG2Repair (at least for me)."

I don't think the uploader of that version did any re-encoding. Once the broadcaster changes the frame rate, I think there's little hope of fixing a lack of smoothness in the time-domain. If the version you saw was derived from what I saw, it's going to be a mess not matter what they try to do with a re-encode.
That's not true. The Cinemax broadcast is almost completely soft telecined. It's a simple matter to restore the original frame-rate. If there's a problem with the re-encode, it's the fault of the one who encoded it, not the source material.
I stand corrected, and so very glad to hear that. RipBot264 didn't indicate it was soft, so I assumed it was hard!

I'm viewing a capture of this new cinemax version and the framerate seems off. i'm getting that odd pan/scan queasy feeling from it having what I would consider "unnatural movement".
Now, Im sure its due to the uploaders encoding job but I was wondering if anyone here has noticed this in any versions they have seen.
its from the 2.76 re-encode on TPB
Thanks.

Yes. That's the one.
Okay... So... If you know which one it is for sure, does that mean you've gotten your hands on it? ...and could you describe how you managed that?
Thanks.
Chewtobacca: When you say those great screenshots are "from the new cap," does that mean the Cinemax HDTV capture stated earlier in the thread? If you know that, then you just may know something most of us really want to know! (Where to get it, of course!)
The new TPB-9938130 has no watermarks, but is very blurry... like the Cinemax screenshots here.

Wait... What?! These are gorgeous! Where are these captures from again?
They don't look like the European HDTV, Japanese HDTV, nor the recent Cinemax HDTV broadcast from which we've seen captures earlier in this thread.
