VIDEO I have worked to find and use the "best" avisynth technology on the DVD source, and applied the strongest denoising/sharpening that wouldn't
remove any noticable precision (and obv. thanx to high quality x264 encoding not loose anything noticeable there too). I think the result is NICER to MOST eyes than the DVD ! Download the sample if you don't believe me. Anyway, as far as compressed version go, it's the best you'll find around, the reasson being that I wouldn't have bothered making another release if
the offer was satisfying.
