Wow, there definitely is more detail in the background. I guess I should use the BD at least for this scene, because as Jaitea said, the crushed blacks are particularly bad in this one; I actually tried to revive some detail in the dark areas in this scene using the GOUT the first time around but the warping and shake made it impossible.
Thanks for the comparisons, J.
I'm still having some trouble getting my computer to use the BD footage properly though, so it would be quite nice to get the scene already brightened and corrected in high bitrate 720p AVC.
