@Moth3r: good job, the screenshots looks really similar; mine is more sharpened... a bit TOO sharpened... infact, today, after the conversion was finished, I briefly checked some scenes and decided I used too much sharpening, in the wrong way... so, after adjusting the avisynth script, now the new conversion is on its way... meanwhile, I'll try to let the subtitles work...

@ilovewaterslides: thanks for the help! Please post here which soundtracks bits you want to hear to determine if the speed is right or not, and also the method you will use to convert the right pitched tracks and the wrong ones from 25p to 23.976p - if possible using avisynth with soundout and/or sox plugins. So if someone else would hear them too, I'll receive a second medical opinion... (^_^)
