I think it looks good. But I never understand why people dont like grain...

Well, all my testing and tweaks were intended to retain as much original film grain as possible and lose the analog video noise (in addition to reducing the wobble and aliasing). I know some of the doom9 filters were designed to completely kill original film grain and I cringe when I see shots of completely grain-free processed films with a flat, antiseptic, digital look. I always appreciate good Blu-ray transfers that retain all the grain you would see in a theatrical print.

Have you relaced the sound also?

Yes, I went with the DC48 Belbucus LD mix, encoded with Aften at 448 as 2-channel Prologic. So as I said, it's the 1993 presentation. I tested hairy_hen/Satanika's mix as well, but the '93 Prologic worked fine and sounded great on my receiver and I didn't really want any extra changes or generational loss, resampling or any other artifacts from the upmix process. Now that I have the video done, I can always mix hairy_hen/Satanika's 5.1 or the mono mix or some other mix if I want to make another disc. The video takes so much space that there's only room for one track per disc.
