Yeah, it is a real DVD (as I said, Ally McBeal first season, bought in
Germany).

> Does this movie actually look right when played on a TV!?

I can't say as I don't have access to a standalone DVD player. It looks
perfect played back with e.g. PowerDVD. I currently can't remember how
mplayer and xine cope with it.

Yes, I'm pretty sure. I've used transcode without ANY rescaling
options.

As to the rest... yes, I've not read your email completely, and I'm
sorry (way too early in the morning for me, obviously).
