I matched the soundtrack under the film by speeding it up, tried several pitch preservers, results were bad to reasonable. The best one was good overall, but it messed up the surround, so I decided to keep it sped up. I had gotten used to the NTSC speed aswell, but working on my version I got used to the sped up version, and now the NTSC soundtrack sounds slowed down to me. It's just what version you're used to. Nearly all official SW PAL releases are sped up aswell, including the DVD. As far as I know only the '95 releases were pitch corrected (Russ???).
I did not fix the wipe at the end of side 1/still at the beginning of side 2: I don't have it on LD in PAL widescreen, and I'm not planning on purchasing another LD just for those couple of seconds. I could have used the DC, but that would still give you some half-decent result. Or I could have stolen it from Citizen

You can make some screens Moth3r, but don't judge it by those. My experience with noise reduction/sharpening filters is that they make it look better on a screenshot, but worse during playback.
And as a sidenote to everyone, please watch it on your TV, NOT on your computer.
