New raws for Diamond Eye. Includes all content from the DVD volumes:
All 26 episodes
Episode 1 preview
A collection of behind-the-scenes photos, and new footage showing off the head of the Diamond Head suit.
The DVDs used old tape masters (thankfully there's no field blending), but completely fucked everything up by pillarboxing the whole thing to fit 16:9, or as I like to call it, "pulling a VIZ". So instead of having 16 or so of the 720 pixel width being black (which is normal for NTSC video or things derived from it like D2 tape when transferred for DVD), these DVDs have 196 pixels of the width being black bars, leaving just 524x480 for the actual video.
Video: 10-bit x264

The Behind-the-scenes photos video is VFR. The new footage of Diamond Eye's head is interlaced video (so I was already going to have 60sps stuff), and the fades and the couple of Obvious Digital Effects (TM) are 30i as well, while everything else was 30fps progressive. So I deinterlaced the parts with 30i stuff to 60p, and duplicated each frame for the rest (as I didn't want to lose detail on the photos). And going from there to VFR was literally pasting in two lines to the avs file, a stats pass in virtualdub, and changing one setting in the batch file handles the x264 encoding and final muxing.
