How to Improve Commercial DVD with Avisynth that has no problems?

[sanlyn]

I was just wondering what combing artifacts you were talking about because I couldn't see any. Yes, there's no spots in the commerical DVD sample. I was talking about the other sample which is a few secs long.

The effects are subtle, but they look like grain on some fast-moving objects. That could be encoding that wasn't specifically optimized for such rapid motion (? that's my guess ?). A light touch of QTGMC made motion look smoother, even when playing interlaced in VirtualDub.

RemoveSpots: there are a couple of other ways to kill spots. But it's a pain in the neck and takes forever.
