Shameless plug! :oD You just forgot to say this great works has your
signature :D
Didn't want to be seen as spamming the list :-) even though I think I've
only mentioned it once in two years. Can never be too safe!
As long as the cat's out of the bag, I want to say that the DVD is
"purist-safe". I used real Amiga hardware to make the DVD, going so far
as to purchase a broadcast scan converter, use the raw RGB output of all
Amigas, calibrating levels along the way. Any noise left over as part
of the process was corrected digitally in 10-bit space. Since most of
the footage was PAL, I converted to NTSC using motion synthesis avisynth
scripts that generated new frames based on inbetweens (ie. no stupid
frame blending or duplication) and cleaned up conversion errors by hand.
I'm really proud of the work and I know it would stand up to the
scrutiny of most people here on the list.
