Ok, thank you very much!!
yes, it's just as I've thought.
The backgrounds in the original are blurry, as the film is supposed to be, so as to add depth to the film.
Unfortunately with the filter this effect is lost. The background becomes flat and not blurry. (although the characters seem indeed much much better!)
But, I'm not criticizing your procedure, this is the best it could look when you apply filters. You did a great job with it as I see from previewing the incomplete downloaded file!
The thing i'd like to do for my own viewing pleasure, since I love grain, would be to add grain and simulate a 35mm film reel watching experience.
I have a great virtualdub filter (with extension *.vdf) that I use in my video editing software (MAgix MovieEdit), but i'm not sure how to use on the complete film, since this would involve re-encoding and i don't want to lose quality.
I thought of applying an add grain effect on the fly, watching the Bluray with et. MPC, but I don't know what to use.
