If you read how they digitise the film, there's not a lot of point in
downloading their bizarre 720x480 mpeg format. They digitise at 480x480
then software interpolate and (IMO) overcompress the image. The 320x240
Quicktime/MP4 movies look as good on screen as the MPEGs. I use DivX to
interpolate from 420x240 to 720x576 and the movies produced look OK when
viewed on a 28" TV.

Righto, I'll have a go at that.

If you want to cringe, have a look at "The Lost City", the mind boggles
while watching it.

I have the set of Flash Gordons :-)
