Just burned this and had a quick listen - fantastic!
Since I don't have a Blu-ray burner (just yet) I used a 720p rip and burned it to a DL DVD - luckily there were no problems marrying the video and audio files, but I had to drop the original DTS track to make room (a bit of a shame, since it would have been fun to do some A/B comparisons).
My kit isn't fancy at all, indeed my receiver (Yamaha RX-V365) isn't HD capable (despite the presence of HDMI). I'll upgrade one day, but for now the core DTS is impressive enough - a genuinely cinematic sound with tremendous atmosphere and punch.
Thanks to all involved - let's hope to see more projects like this (and if anyone in this discussion has any ideas on extracting the 5.1 AC-3 from the THX Alien laserdisc, please weigh in on the other thread!)
