To add to that, "early SLI" stands for Scan-Line Interleave, not Scalable Link Interface like it is now. CRT was some crazy shit to deal with. I'm glad I never had to deal with it.

If you ever wondered why some old Youtube video looked like crap and has lines that don't match up, interleaving was why.

Usually artifacts are not the result of using interleaved source but the result of recoding done wrong. I remember reading mencoder manual about "pulldown" and other recoding options.
