The thing about Srestore is that it works by substituting a blended field with an unblended neighbour. In sources such as this one, where some frames do not exist in unblended form, it can never restore all the original frames.

"But there are more obvious examples, probably the most noteable of which is that Aunt Beru is voiced by a completely different person (neither the stereo nor mono version is actress Shelah Fraser)"
Is this correct? As I recall, ADR was done with Shelagh Fraser for the film.
...
No concrete source, but I reckon that both the mono and the Dolby mixes are Fraser, but different takes from the ADR session.

Srestore is good for dealing with the most common field-blending issues, but this source is unfortunately too far gone to be restorable.

The Leitch DPS-290 must have caused more issues than just the occasional frame-freeze. I did a short capture using the Panasonic AG-1980P -> Panasonic DMR-ES10 and it does seem to have a pattern.
It's a 1600-frame Huffyuv-compressed capture, so it's a little large. I'd greatly appreciate any help with determining the pattern(s). Thanks!
There is no pattern I can see - it is most definitely field-blended, with some frames completely unrecoverable (much like the PAL VHS tapes of Droids and Ewoks).
Is the Star Wars "meter" supposed to be different to our metric "metre"?
Luke says that womp rats are "not much bigger than two meters". That would make them taller then David Prowse.
That's a bloody big rat.

I was inspired to start this thread by a little exchange on current video formats/codecs - AVI, MP4, MKV et al...
AVI, MP4 and MKV are neither formats nor codecs; they are all containers.
MPEG-4 Part 2 and MPEG-4 Part 10 (aka H.264) are formats.
A codec (encoder/decoder) is a software library such as Xvid or x264 (actually I think x264 is an encoder only, but you get the idea).

Tell me about it.
I got so tired of scrolling through your slideshows I added you to my ignore list.
It would be nice if people who wanted to post a lot of images learned how to posts thumbnails with links. But since you still haven't even learned how to use the return key correctly after all this time, I don't hold out much hope.
Without exact information it's difficult to offer advice.
It sounds like you are making a documentary-style edit that incorporates both 29.97 fps "shot for TV" interlaced and 24 fps "shot on film" progressive video.
If this is the case, and your final intended output format is indeed DVD-video, then the safest bet would be as satanika suggests to keep the interlaced material as-is, and hard telecine the progressive video (i.e. apply 3:2 pulldown to convert it to 29.97 fps and encode it as interlaced).
Of course the final quality is then down to how the deinterlacer in your playback chain deals with the mixed content. I imagine the telecined stuff won't look as good as the original progressive frames, but quality should still be acceptable.

Quantum Leap was shot on film. I just have the audio from a PAL source which I'd like to synchronize to the NTSC video source and then redo it as a DVD ISO.
Do you have the PAL video to go with it? It would help a lot to make sure that the frame counts are the same as the NTSC source.
Bump after thread merge.
Was Quantum Leap shot on film or video? If it's from film, and the audio has been sped up to go from 24fps to PAL's 25fps, then it's a simple case to slow it down to match NTSC's 23.976fps (for telecined film with 3:2 pulldown).
There's a variety of programs that can do this: VirtualDub and AviSynth in the video world (Premier Pro can probably do this too), or an audio editor like Sound Forge or Audacity. There's also a simple little command line program called SoundTouch that I've used before.
On the other hand, if it's video, then it depends how the conversion was carried out. It may be the case that audio durations match anyway.
Thread fails to deliver. :-(
Spam deleted. Good try, though.
No, no.

It's a little outdated, but the info is good.
The Panasonic DMR-ES10 is a consumer DVD recorder that is reputably very good at dealing with unstable or low-quality VHS sources. I've seen a fair number of people say they use it as a pre-processor for captures (i.e. in "pass-through" mode, not recording to DVD).

OK, the Panasonic DMR-ES10 is on its way! This thing is supposedly a monster at correcting jitter.
I have one of these. Take care, the filtering on the composite input tends to destroy high-frequency detail. Not sure if this will even be an issue with VHS, however.

Is that UTM or Lambert Conformal Conic?
That's right - geotechnical analyst checking in. ;-)
I don't mean to tell you your own job, but surely that's the domain of the geomatical analyst?
A geotechnical analyst would be more interested in whether the top strata is loose yellow gravelly SAND or medium dense brown gravelly SAND.
Not mine, but thought I'd add it here:
