Argh, I'm really sorry to keep delaying and making people wonder what's going on.  A combination of being kept busy with schoolwork, internet connection problems, and going through something that could soon turn into a nasty breakup (and would leave me without a place to live) are contributing factors.

Personally, I blame Zoidberg.

 

The audio tracks (yes, they are all 100% lossless) are ready to go as soon as they can be uploaded successfully.  For some reason I haven't been having much luck with that, but I'll get those blasted things up there if it kills me.  The 70mm has been optimized to the point where I'm probably not going to touch it again unless a true discrete channel copy became available somehow; I also have the mono mix with the film version of the Fox fanfare spliced in, and the stereo mix from the digital source with all the dropouts and other errors completely eliminated by patching in parts of the analogue version.  Both are level-matched as precisely as possible to the 70 in order to maintain consistency of dialogue when switching between tracks—rather than relying on DialNorm to do this, I rendered new files myself after careful listening tests, to maintain the highest quality.  I'll also add my isolated score, which in addition to synching the music to the movie has also been heavily re-equalized to sound like it does in the movie, and not shrill and nasty as it does on the CD's.  Maybe I should start a new thread for all these things so they can be found in one place.

So, that's where I am, anyway.  Sorry for making everyone wonder . . .
