The point remains that the Japanese R2s have exactly the same problem, however.

It looks like the source was originally interlaced, and it's been filtered out for the R1 and R2 DVDs, but Madman haven't bothered when they took FUNimation's sources and mastered the R4 DVDs. Thanks for pointing out DScaler though, I'll give it a run tonight on the KG DVDs and see what happens. :) Heh sorry, I think my anti-spam mods didn’t like your URL :)

Both the below screenshots were taken with PowerDVD 5 in bob mode: www kiddygrade info/stuff/spot/ (comment doesn't seem to be posting, trying to mask link in case it is being blocked for some reason) I've heard that DScaler is good, and it is free. Installed it a while back and never really fiddled with it, but it isn't working for me at the moment I have to say (playback very stuttery) I don’t think FUNimation are entirely to blame this time.
