Thanks for the replies (Dominik as well)!!!  Those docs are great, I
don't remember them existing a year ago.  Answered many questions.

I now see that one of the things I'm trying to record from DVD is
hard-telecined and one is interlaced.  They were both originally TV
so I'm a little surprised by the former, I thought in this case
(wrongly, probably) that it was usually interlaced, not telecined.

Yet, of course.  I have full confidence that someone will add it :)
