Heya all-

Thinking about starting up a Trigun project. I've had the Pioneer boxed set for awhile and, of course, I absolutely love the series. My GOD tho! The footage is horrible to work with - the telecide is screwed up 8 ways from monday, preventing a nice, clean IVTC and on the first 3 discs, there is HORRIBLE rainbowing. just HORRIBLE.

Was just wondering if anyone has ever seen and Trigun DVDs out there that might have a better version of the footage on them? Dont have to be Region 1 and don't even have to be English, as I just want the footage really. Any help would be much appreciated!

You would have to shell out some cash for import DVDs. Not bootleggs, not region free. I'm talking from the original japanese company the made the show in the first place. That is the only suggestion I can give to you. It's the only way you could get non Pioneer DVDs. I too have worked with Trigun footage, but the only really stubborn visual problem I had was the rainbowing. Other than that it didn't give me a problem.

Proof

Yea, it's actually very possible to avoid most footage problems - particularly if you use AVISynth filters to your advantage. There's good cleanup, smoothing and de-rainbow filters if you look around.

Otherwise, there's little chance of getting better footage besides locating the actual Japanese releases.

my problem seems to be that ivtc leaves many fine lines looking quite poor - not sharp at all

I can get the region 2's... I'm not sure how the quality is though,

I use VirtualDub for all my filtering, deinterlacing, ect.

Assuming you have looked through the guides... You can use lots of other stuff to make it look better, as Otohiko stated.

yeah, ive found the region2's on http://www.cdjapan.co.jp - but at 55 bucks a disc.... with no real way to preview them in advance, i could just be buying myself similar quality. for that price, if i knew they were a great improvement, i'd probably pick them up - but otherwise, i think i'll probably just rough it out with these pioneer discs.

maybe de-rainbowing is better these days than it was last year
