It should. Although you might not be able to tell unless you use a player that bobs the video (most software DVD players will do this, and ffdshow will also allow you to do the same). But, when you burn the disc, barring any other problems, Samus should indeed flicker when she's supposed to (although, of course, if you view the video on an LCD display, the flickering is liable to turn into a 50% transparency). My golden test is how a standalone DVD player responds. If it plays good and proper there, then it will also look good on any device that handles interlaced video properly (such as software DVD players).

AddBorders(13,8,14,8)Are you complaining about the filesize of the interim AVI (if you're using one and not feeding an AVS straight to your encoder, should it allow you do to so), or the filesize of the encoded MPEG-2? If you're troubled by the interim disk space, I recommend using the CamStudio Lossless codec. When set to GZIP at level 9, it produces files that are quite small, but is slow. I use it for my emulator raws, before I manipulate them with Avisynth, and then I feed the AVS directly to TMPGEnc (my encoder of choice). As far as the final filesize on DVD, that depends on the encoding parameters, and to a point whether you use VBR or CBR. VBR usually takes longer to encode but will create smaller files than CBR at the same quality. Conversely, if you have both a VBR and CBR file of the same filesize, the VBR will have better quality (although if the bitrate is high enough then you probably won't notice a difference). Did you just mistype or did you really use 325x240 instead of 352x240? I don't see why it would crash either way (unless it was the encoder crapping out during compression).
AssumeFPS(last,1008307711,16777216,false)For your first problem: does the picture have the same distortion when played on your PC, or if you rip it? If so, post a screenshot. Otherwise, nothing is coming to mind, at the moment(but I'm tired:-)). I'm assuming you're using the AVS you posted earlier. The desync with SNES9x is probably due to the line:The framerate above only applies to FCEU. SNES9x is straight 60fps(change the "false" to "true" and it'll work, though). Also, you don't need to run AssumeFPS twice(in any case); only after Weave to convert to 29.97(30000/1001). Oh, and you might as well have the emulator output 48KHz audio, rather than resampling it.AssumeFPS(last,1008307711,16777216,false)
