Tests have shown me I may need to rethink my strategy a bit. When I use the Cinema2 video option on my LD (it supposed to enhance the blacks) I get a darker picture but due to my inexperience I cannot find a way during processing to even this out and get a better picture without making the end result look too washed out or processed.

I'm going to have to educate myself more on all of this I fear before I can create anything that I would feel good about submitting for all of you as the standards here are all ready rather high with the awesome transfers already out there.

Keep your fingers crossed for me.
