To clarify, my encodes were avsynth avi frameserving in Vegas then encoded directly to WMV-HD from there. It seems you have a few paths to take the video stream through before it actualy hits the final encoded stage. I was conerened about keeping the video quality as uncorrupted as possible as by using frameserving I was able to color correct, frame edit and timesync the original transport stream directly in Vegas then straight to wmv encode.

Aside from that I too am still looking forward to your 14GB edition. I'll always embrace the highest quality editions I can get my hands on, even though, as of yet I still haven't found anything better than the Premier caps.
