Hi Colson,

Sorry for the late reply. I got a chance to sample the scan on my OLED in a pitch dark room where I watch my movies, whereas before I was sampling on my PC monitor.

The primary issue I noticed was that the image was much too dark to the point where I found it unwatchable in its current state. It could stand perhaps even a full stop increase in brightness. If not an eyeball measurement, I suppose one could use ideally the Apple TV 4K transfer as a reference, or the Blu-ray.

The image also has what looks like either a shift of the film in the scanning aperture or something like that, because oftentimes I can see the frame line on the top of the screen and/or the upper corners of the film frame and that often shifts from reel to reel. Not anywhere as important as the brightness issue, but something I thought I’d bring up.

Did you also say that the MKV is synced to the BD’s 5.1 mix if I chose that route?

Thanks again for your hard work so far.
