Puggo, this is wonderful. I can't really appreciate the mix as I don't really have a good ear for this kind of thing but it's interesting that there is another alternate version and if you ever provided your captures and someone did a GOUT sync, I'd be interested to include it in ESB v2.0. No rush though :-)

The PQ is definitely better than PG but I do believe this would benefit greatly from an HD upscale (the horizontal resolution of the capture should after all be much higher than here, especially with the wider than 2.35:1 AR) but mainly a better encode using a more modern codec and higher bitrate, because I think the worst problem PQ wise with this and PG both is the compression of the grain, especially in dark areas, which makes a lot of it look not like film but noisy video. I believe it would be a much more of the experience people seem to want from it, that is to relive the time they saw a run down print back in the day, because I can guarantee that in no official cinema projection in the history of ever people saw huge compression blocks and such.

Oh, and can anyone confirm that despite the error codes, the first Zip file was fine? I wouldn't want to share anything that is broken.
