Hopefully, whoever uploaded that 720p will put a higher bitrate 1080i out there; luckily, the 720p looks pretty damn good.They said in there NFO that they are planning on uploading a 1080i version but it would take them a ‘while’.
This confuses me. Why would they need “a while” when they clearly sourced the 720p from it. Just upload the original file and it’s done.

I know. That’s what I said. Why would you check to get a better source when you’ve clearly sourced your 720p from a 1080i. All they did was downgrade it.
However, this may all be moot. I’m thinking of just re-editing the whole thing together. Think of it as the Harmy version of The Godfather Epic. Just splice the parts together from the official blu-ray that are from the original films and upscale the Epic-specific transitions and scenes.
I’m sure it would take me forever but it would yield better results than what I got, unfortunately. The funny thing is that it doesn’t look bad at all. It’s just that it looks worse than the 720p. If we didn’t have that comparison, I’d be fine with it.
