Yeah there is blown-out stuff on both ends (whites and blacks). That's just the way it is - it's a primitive process.
Like I said, it's not that bad and it still destroy any official version out there, love it! :)
When I get the time I'll post examples where both your transfer and even my LD is more detailed than the 2004 transfer. Even the motion smeared '97 SE looks better in some instances, that's really how bad the situation is. The Lowry process ate up tons of detail, so if everything goes well with the project of -1 & company, some people will be surprised by how much detail that was lost in those hideous transfers.
