The only other thing is the darkness of the transfer. I know this was an issue with the 2004 DVD release which I know this is based on, but any chance it could be lightened up a tad for the DVD releases? I had to alter my TVs brightness by 10-15% to get it about right.

Because the xvid was taken from the avi master it uses the colour values 0 - 255 whereas the mpeg would be 16 - 235(or 233 i can't remember off hand now) so the xvid will look darker when watched on a TV. The brightness that you will see on the DVD is the highest the values could go without causing some major problems with the picture, especially in the darker areas.
