That's a great technical writeup of the entire process. A lot of techniques were used, including lower resolution video files, interpolation tricks, halving the framerate and then using the n64 to fill inbetween frames, and mostly just trying to find the sweet spot of ntsc signal and what the human eye sees so that less important information can get thrown out.

It's a pretty heroic effort.
