Did Madman Field Blend the Remastered G1 DVDs?

[ndjamena]

Tried it both in the Mac's built in DVD player app and my Xbox One's Blu-ray app and paused in multiple places and it looks nothing like what you showed off in the images. I'll check in VLC later.

(I missed an AND between read and obey.)

It's looking promising, it sounds like its been IVTC'd (inverse telecined or detelecined) and then sped up. So I NEED to buy it!

If you manage to look at it with VLC, make sure deinterlacing is turned off and remember that pressing the 'e' key advances by a single frame. If it turns out to be interlaced, that's not a good sign. You should turn deinterlacing on at that point (yadif x2 is best) and try your best to figure out what's going on.

I know what regular bad old interlacing looks like and I can't see any signs of it on the Madman release in VLC, looks really nice for a 30 year old sometimes poorly animated TV show.

I have the original release of Transformers Cybertron from Singapore. Thats pretty bad interlacing until you turn deinterlacing on in VLC. I'm actually considering buying the new Shout Factory release of Cybertron to replace it in the hope it's not interlaced.

Okay had a look at the Remastered Season 1 discs 1 and 2 in VLC player. Deinterlace is off. I don't see anything like you saw with the frames merged together. The animation frame-to-frame looks "whole" to me, no ghosting/blurring that I can see in each scenes I looked at (including transformations and that same Jazz scene). Each frame looks like a complete animation frame, like you could screenshot it and it look right.

Codec information from VLC says:
MPEG-1/2 Video (mpgv)
Res 720 x 576
Frame rate: 50
Decoded format: Planar 4:2:0 YUB

Ok, I'm happy now. Two something years of wondering is over, I'm buying them next chance I get.

Now all I need is either Blaster, Perceptor or Defensor to show up in a movie somewhere, or even in one of the animated series... Or anywhere at all... Please!!!

I should think that means he's taking too many iron supplements.

GOD DAMN IT, ARMADA IS FIELD BLENDED!! WORSE, it seems to be the same atrocious perversion they used on the Japanese series'! I suppose Cybertron and Energon have suffered the same fate. That's over $200 NOT well spent.

A single field will affect several frames in either direction, either that's deliberate, it's been blend converted twice, or they blended frames, not fields (or an unholy combination thereof.)

So now I'm NOT happy. They're half the price on Amazon too.
