While I am interested in your release, I have no desire to watch a non-anamorphic video with Japanese subtitles. If you did go down that route, I would have to recompress it before I watched it. If your concern is that the JSC should be preserved "as is", be aware that it has already been done: one of dark_jedi's early releases had the Japanese subtitles.

Pulldown and the fake-interlaced switch can be used to encode 480p for BD.
