Can anyone understand what is going on with my source video?
I have now ripped the second disc in the box set and DGIndex gives a message that a field order transition was detected. I found where the transition happens, and it seems that after that point, the chroma flickering has disappeared. That leads me to believe that the part before the transition is fixable by some kind of field operation.
DGIndex offers to correct the transition and creates a corrected .d2v file and a .d2v.
bad file that is uncorrected.
For the part before the transition
MPEG2Source("VTS_01_1.d2v.
bad").Bob().SelectEven() == MPEG2Source("VTS_01_1.d2v").Bob().SelectEven()
For the part after the transition
MPEG2Source("VTS_01_1.d2v.
bad").Bob().SelectEven() == MPEG2Source("VTS_01_1.d2v").Bob().SelectEven()
.DeleteFrame(0)
DGIndex outputs the following log for disc 2 (there are some differences from the first disc):

I'm starting to think that the person that mastered this DVD is either incompetent or evil.
