You know what's actually rude? Deliberately derailing threads.

I'd settle for an explanation of why anyone in their right mind would produce a video stream like this to begin with. As for fixing the Andromeda episode, I switched from Premiere to AVIsynth when I realized that fixing chroma ghosting was easier in AVIsynth, and now my script looks like the tenth circle of tedious autistic hell:

mpeg2source("212.d2v")

A=Tfm(field=1,pp=0,micmatching=0)
B=Tfm(field=0,pp=0,micmatching=0)
C=Interleave(A,B)
D=Tdeint(mode=1,full=false)

This is obviously not an approach that I intent to use every time I come across this sort of material.
