What you have to do is let Stab do its thing, then view the results, fix borders as needed in the script, and you're home free. Still a little grayish noise on the lefthand side, but likely that will go unnoticed. And stab does literally move the whole image, meaning that the borders get moved as well. Some of that grungy stuff in the flat backgrounds, it's a headache sometimes when it's in the original source. One h264 encoder and umpteen containers and codecs!! Ya gotta love it).
Maybe the "mkv" container called for something that might not be on your PC (like Haali media splitter, maybe? Hell, who knows. Gorgeous and foolproof (when you know what you're doing) NeatVideo at low settings smooths the stabilized grain without blurring the video.

The filtered video used your same TIVTC, so it's not DVD-compliant (23.976 fps). I used a few goodies you probably haven't seen: I think I got most of it, but didn't address the remaining spots or hops (I was getting tired of finding new problems). The sample script posted above gives the video a kind of soft haze, looks almost out of focus in spots. Large clumps of shifting and fluttering grain, banding, low-bitrate artifacts, luma and chroma out of range for DVD (and almost out of range for PC video), strong red color cast, crippled blue, spots, dropouts, projector hop.and some really bad flicker. Can you guys take another look at it please? This is an official retail DVD rip which I am trying to restore. Sanlyn offered some great suggestions as well. I posted this sample a while back and PDR, I believe cleaned it up nicely.
