Therefore I’m re-encoding the main movie again to incorporate the Reel 3 cue mark fixes.

I love the quality of the film and especially the grain structure.

However, since you are going to re-encode again, is there something that can be done about the compression artifacts that are present in some parts of the film (mainly cantina sequence and some other dark parts)?

See for example:

At 40 MB/s I doubt those are compression artifacts. If anything, they are imperfections brought out by the color correction process - these shots were brightened considerably from the original scan, and some of the shadow/color information just isn’t there. I suspect Poita’s scan will be considerably better, but until it arrives, this is as good as it gets I’m afraid.
