I will download the new links ASAP.  I've looked at the other links from ealier this week and just haven't had time to respond.  I actually have some screenshot comparisons I'm putting together.

The first 720p blew me away. The sharpness was amazing and the compression didn't look terrible.

The second 720p and first 1080p looked worse honestly.  The sharpness was gone and there were alot more compression artifacts.  (My comparison shots show exactly were the compression is completely removing detail found in the first 720p.)

I also have a big concern with the way your making this "anamorphic." Why are you including the black bars on the top and bottom? Shouldn't that area just be negative space on the tv where there isn't any image information?  if you were to play these files on 4:3 TV, there would be dark black bars on the top and bottom then slightly lighter black bars surrounding the image.

I will be posting a ton of photos tonight or tomorrow supporting everything I just spoke about.

I know you're working hard on these and I'm game to assist in any way possible.  What program are you using to make these exports? I apologize if this has been stated somewhere else already...

I hope all of this constructive criticism is useful.
