Comment DVD Quality - Get rid of interlacing, composite (Score 1) 401

I don't think the Simpsons S1 problems were completely fixed with S2. What bothers me is that the Simpsons DVDs are interlaced, and obviously captured from a composite source (you can see artifacts around color edges, especially text -- "dot crawl"). I think they just took the 1/2" video masters and digitized them.

Now this stuff is animation ... it's like film, it's an inherently progressive source. I don't really know the details of how animation works but it would be nice if they could go back and redo the cartoons in progressive video.

I think you'd see a big difference if they went back and really remastered it.
