To which do you refer? 5-5-5-5 telecine (which is the overall architecture) or screening combed 
frames (which is the final step)? Actually, what I already have running is better than what MPV 
and/or my TV produces; better than p24->p60 and better than 4-6-4-6 telecine (and much better than 
2-3-2-3 telecine frame doubled to 60fps of course).

What about people who don't use MPV? What about PowerDVD?

What do you have in mind, Paul? I don't care about slow. I have a very large, very fast system and 
can mount many vdisks that I can run overnight while I sleep. However, I'm not too keen on "fragile" 
but maybe I can noodle out a solution to fragile when I see it. After all, I'll have you to help me. :-)
