I wouldn't be so negative about it - it does look pretty great, considering it's a non-professional scan of a theatrical print. And this is a yet unrestored frame - a little sharpening would go a long way to reveal some more detail - but my point was that it's naturally just not gonna beat a scan of the o-neg.
As for a 16GB m2ts - unfortunatelly, it's not that easy either - there are still one or two tweaks I want to do and it takes ages to render and I'll need to spot check it and stuff.
