Escape from New York: I deleted the previous screenshot comparison; now I compared HDTV HDNET Vs US Blu-ray
http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison.php?id=39478
differences are not dramatic like previous HDNET Vs UK Blu-ray, but still present. Also, it seems that BD is a bit horizontally stretched.
Interisting note: each version has some more details on one side vs opposite one... so I thought to do a fast test (really rough, just to have an idea) - click each image to see HD versions:
HDNET:
US BD:
US BD with HDNET colors:
US BD with HDNET colors (first pixels on the left) + HDNET:
got it? (^^,) - I'm waiting your comment about this brand new technique! (I must find out some strange, exotic and ugly name for it...)

why bother to use BD and change its colors, if it has crushed blacks and clipped whites? If I'll do a [spoRv] project, I'll use the HDTV video - as dvdmike, I prefer it to BD! And it will be with LD audio soundtrack(s), of course...

...but kept getting an error message "Evaluate: System exception - Access Violation ([ScriptClip], line 5)". What did you do to solve this?
avoid to use SetMTMode: it should work. By the way, on "The Thing" I used only my ColourMatch and ColourMatchYUV scripts; on "The Matrix", almost all movie will be done with ColourMatch, and only the scenes with some artifacts will use another color matching script - to be tested, don't know if I will use ColourLikeFBF or a very experimental script, ColourMatchRGB... the latter is very promising, but stops working if the scene is too long... keep an eye on "The Matrix" thread for future info.

Brightening AvP:R would also be welcome, but I don't think using the spoRv process is the best way to go about it.
the process I used for the thing is a simple color re-grading, using the script I mentioned in the answer before - spoRv=special preserved or Restored version (the best acronym I found out, open to change it but the meaning should be the same). I used this acronym not only for its meaning, but also because it means Sparrow in norwegian (what a coincidence "The Thing" was the first [spoRv] project...) and I like the simple logo I made only with characters; sporv is a five letters, one syllable word, like sport, easy to remember; and this is only the beginning of a bigger project... when it will be ready, I'll write more in a proper thread.
