Dreamaster, this version looks wonderful; thanks for uploading it!

May I inquire as to how you applied the regrade and re-encoded?

You want to know the secret sauce eh? 😃

Amazingly, it was a free to use software called Avidemux. It’s pretty good for quick, one pass adjustments with a few caveats. It seems to render the video with more red versus the green… so I typically have to “get the preview perfect” and then pull the red channel back until the image is starting to just look a tad green. Blech, lol

For this project I had two color filters, MplayerHue, set to +14 and then I added the MPlayer eq2 adjustment with these settings:

I set the audio as “copy” so it didn’t get altered, but set the Video output to Mpeg4 AVC (x264) and then changed those settings to do a 2 pass render with a target size similar to the original grindhouse.

That’s it!
