New to the group although I've been reading for a while. First, I
just
want to thank grill for all of his hard work pulling this project
together and really look forward to trying out the new NTSC-friendly
version on my set top players. I managed to get the PAL version off
of
the 'noid a while ago but couldn't play it on my two set top players
or in my blu-ray software so I found a long-form workaround for
myself, but I kept hoping there'd be a version that would work for
me.
Sounds like it's here now.
Anyway, awesome work!
