Hi! I have only one question. Is this possible to disable interlace mode for intros? For expampel in Jane's Adavanced Tactical Fighters all image is covered with thin black lines. I know- this is interlace mode, but is any way to disable it and gain a clear video?

I don't have the game at hand, but if the interlacing is done by the game,
there's currently no way to disable it (it's "as intended").
If it wasn't interlaced on a real system (and given that it's not caused by
a dosbox bug) you might have luck with different scaler/output/screen
size options.

I am afraid that "interlacing" is a stable of DOS FMV. The reason why videos are interlaced is simple, it reduces the space the video takes up on disk by half. On a CD-ROM, this is important.
