"But seriously I agree that that creating a 5.1 track from a source that is definitely not 5.1 will never be worth the effort, and I speak from experience. I have found TR47s PCM track incorporated with Pro Logic of my sound system that "forces" it to a 5.1 experience is more than adeqaute and sounds bloody fantastic, but like Laserman said if someone really wants to make a 5.1, by all means."

That's exactly how I made my 5.1 soundtrack. I used Graphedit to recreate a Pro-Logic II decoder, which extrapolated the 5 different wavetracks. I then encoded these separate eave tracks into an AC3. It's precisely what you would hear when forcing the PCM track through Pro Logic in your sound system - in a much smaller file size. Believe me, I spent a great deal of time perfecting this technique. I don't know how these other 5.1 tracks were made, but I seriously doubt they put as much effort and research into it as I did.

"when I watch both the anamorphic and TR47 versions and see the dust specs"

At one point, I did make my old version anamorphic, but I won't do that again until I get software that allows me to remove the dust specs and visual glitches.
