I’d also be curious how/where the 1080i.hdtv file was found

The following notes were associated with the file

Untouched capture from WOWOW, remuxed to mkv. English subtitles from the custom DVD for ADC.
Audio is actually mono despite what mediainfo says. Frame rate is a result of muxing to mkv, plays fine. I tried to set it to constant 30000/1001i, but then it goes OOS.

I'd like to at least have a look.

Not really worth the big download but if you insist:

Tenkosei.1982.1080i.HDTV.AAC1.0.MPEG2-WELP.mkv

It's an improvement in quality, the image is bigger and no noticeable interlacing. Sure it's 2½ times the size of the DVD image but I don't mind that one bit. Thanks!

Waw thanks bro! You're hero

Waw thanks bro! You're hero

Seconded! How did I manage it to not notice this thread until now?

FLM is like drinking from a fire hose. New stuff gets added every day, page after page of movies in every category going back years. If you're busy for a couple of days things can slip down the list and you miss them.

Deadman - you said "o noticaeable interlacing" - but it had interlacing - terrible comb like tears because it was 24fps film converted to 29.97 NTSC. The video file is even called 1080i. I did a re-encode of the 1080p with a slight denoise and sharpen filter maintaining the grain - came out as 4.7gb. I'll upload to a sharing site later.
That 16gb interlaced file came down in only 1-2 days. So thanks for sharing Skalman!

I said it wasn't noticeable, not that it wasn't interlaced (the file stats show that). You don't get the comb effect like you do with interlaced DVDs. With 1080 resolution the video is more prone to motion blurring if it's interlaced rather than progressive. Visible horizontal lines are rare though. I've seen them, usually in older .ts videos, but this one doesn't have them. Am I missing something?

Depends on the scene - and only every 3rd frame shows it - and some media players are maybe accounting for it. But this is what I saw in Virtual Dub 2.

You're right, when I open it in VirtualDub I can see the comb effect. MPC-BE (my preferred player) must be automatically deinterlacing the video.

I did a re-encode of your video in Handbrake. Deinterlace (which worked perfectly), sharpen=slight, grain reduction= light. At a very slow setting at a average 5000kbit and the file came out 4.7gb. Plus a reencode of the audio as it seemed to be a nonstandard aac encode from Jap tv.
Click on the image to see full size preview. You'll see it preserves the detail, looks a bit sharper.
Just don't know the best host to use?
I bet ghost would have a way of removing the logo that doesn't look obvious - I experimented in Virtualdub but even it's mask setting didn't work as I would want. But as the logo is very small and not distracting I left it.
Oh - and the film is great fun. The teen (14ish) girl is great, quite a fun realistic tom-boy type character. Unusual for Japan! But you'll understand if you see it!
