│ We would like to start out by thanking those who have come before with │
|
|
│ tdx2k2 and txd2k5, as well as everyone who worked hard to design this │
|
|
│ ruleset. These standards were designed to allow some freedom in the eternal │
|
|
│ tradeoff between quality and speed, while preventing it from degrading to │
|
|
│ crap like other TV scenes have tended to do over the years. │
