Nope, it doesn't - although it will do ABR-MP3.

I tried Dedot also...no effect before TFM, and yeah I could (and would) crop out the edges of the video to get rid of that dot crawl...I was just mentioning it as a testement to how poorly the R1 release was done.
yeah it could have been worse...but I don't want to think how bad it could be

I thought I tried cbr-mp3 audio...but looking back on it I probably wasn't.
I was transcoding the ac3 audio with the wav-mp3 option in BeSweet (this increased the length of the audio by 3 seconds)...probably should have used the mp3@128KBPS profile.

I was kidding about the TV thing (since obviously, I have no idea what kind of TV you have). But a higher-end TV with it's superior comb filter can sometimes reduce or eliminate the dot crawl. Of course, since the screens you posted are directly from the DVDs, the TVs comb filter never comes into play.

FMP: Fumoffu is notorious for the awful dot crawl. Seriously, i was going to make an animated gif from it for my avatar but the dots were all over the place on edges, masking would have been a nightmare. And it needed too much cleanup to look decent. Not to mention the bit that would have been gif'ed looked like it was made of about 25% dots constantly moving...

I have to mention that I believe that VBR-MP3 in AVI is the devil's work! I HATES VBR-MP3 in AVI. It always makes me redo my AVI-to-DVD transcodes from the sync issues. And I dislike having to do extra steps...

Have you seen the R1 OP for This Ugly Yet Beautiful World (aka, KonoMimi)? Oh, the humanity! And they didn't fix it for the second disc (and I doubt volume 3 will be any better, either). At least the R1 OP for Scrapped Princess got better (and for some episodes, especially the later ones, didn't have problems).

No I haven't seen that, but I have seen Scrapped Princess...and I didn't notice any problems with the R1 OP (then again...I'm not trying to edit that footage)

and the TV thing...I'm kinda Internet sarcasm inept
I have a bumper sticker on my forehead that reads, "Not compatible with internet sarcasm"

tried using the mp3@128kbps profile in BeSweet, but I still get that warning in vdub (...rewrite header...may introduce 3283 ms of skew...only matters when saving to avi.) and I keep on ignoring it
(I'm using the BeSweet GUI btw)

It may just be in how BeSweet deals with it. Considering the fact that I don't use BeSweet for audio compression (just the 23.976-->24 conversion for editing), I don't really know. I only remember that it has/had problems encoding proper AC3 streams, but I never tried that myself.
