I was forced to be offline due to my HDTV (actually my only monitor) had to be fixed, and in just ten days all this happened?!? Well... WONDERFUL!!! (^^.)

I'm so happy a "new wave" of fan restorers is rising up!

Back to topic: I think LD color grading is the way to go, apart some shots that should NOT be used, like Ash's head scene.

Last Aliens regrade (bottom pic) is very good, but I'd try also the channels remix way - the more options, the better IMHO.

About LD 2.0 track: which LD will you use? Because I think there *could* be different mixes out there, *maybe* also analog and PCM could be different...
