DVD source does make all the difference and I guess season 3 footage being as bright as it is made the decision easier for you. I always feel disappointed when I have to compress vids for web viewing, still yours looks very crisp and doesn't have any muddiness in it's overlays.

I think one of the problems I have with season 3 is that taking the life of the human host in order to kill a demon seems to be an easy decision. I'm glad that your vid sets up that there are real consequences when you take a human life.

I think you may be right about the woodwork enthusiasts but there is that one cult that worships a carpenter's son, they can be pretty full-on. ;)

I spend hours yesterday to figure out ways to make the logo disappear in avisynth with results that are acceptable, if nowhere near perfect. Better than before and if nothing busy happens where the logo is, it’s almost invincible. But yeah, DVD wins – hands down. You just can use the motion when you want to and not when necessary.

And I actually thought the reencodes with that script looked good, but of course the details seen in the uncompressed versions are unbeatable. The gritty script looked so fantastic I was using it for days for preview till I finally made an AutoGK export and all the additional noise just looked like an amateurish encoding error. I think it was the right decision there and the smoothness adds overall, but there will be a vid in the near future where I just will go crazy with the filters, I know it. *laughs*

About season 3 with the colt again in the picture or the knife – It’s such an easy solution, but the consequences are so much worse than conning demons and let them fall into traps. It’s possible for the hosts to survive this trauma and I think they deliberating ignore this for the moment to build up to a bigger storyline, because otherwise it wouldn’t make sense. I should probably say, that I think that the strained characterization so far is not as pretty, but entirely realistic for me and just adds at the moment.

Plus I think a carpenter son’s remix will probably my next vid and so dirty, I can use all the filters to add grain till my eyes bleeds. It also would be around 1:30 minutes, so a nice little side project to obsess over. Oh and LOL for your witty cult reference I only got it, once pointed out.
