Nice Andrea! Of course you'll be leaving the film grain in. What about the lossless DTS-HD MA 5.1 track from the Blu-ray? I could rip it for you if need be. How about a version which is English only? Meaning the English tracks including lossless, being first choice, and English SDH subtitles.

You're more than welcome to send me the lossless DTS-HD MA 5.1!!! Even if has a modern remix, it is a good alternative to have in a preservation.

About english only: as I'm italian, I like to hear movies in my language and, as the italian soundtrack for "The Thing" is only DD 2.0, a mere 150MB (as the french soundtrack, and the spanish is mono and only 75MB) I think there is no problems to add them, don't you think?

At the contrary, as there is a lot of space left to fill a BD25, other language soundtracks with better quality are welcome.

For subtitles: if someone would like to provide .srt subtitles... I've no time now to search them! I like to include english, english SDH, italian, french, german and spanish, and commentary english and other languages if/when available.
