I hardly have any time lately but I decided this upgrade of Madrid (thanks to Messina!) needs some work to look (and sound) better.
Alright. Here's what was done -
* Audio track is replaced with a mix of TVE video from Snow's DVD and rtve.es webrip also from Snow's DVD. Anyone who is willing can replace the audio with anything that's better in their opinion. That can be done very easily with a free software called MKVMerge. After all, my specialty is video side of things :-)
Now, to the video side -
* This video has a slight ghost which you might have not noticed, but it's there. It looks like a faint double image shifted to right if that makes sense. Whether you notice it or not I removed it anyway.

* The white dropouts are removed.

* Now the annoying static line. I did manage to reduce it for the most part, in some frames where it's strong it can still be seen. You'll see what I mean once you watch it.

The bad thing that I should mention is that it has slight banding. I guess you won't notice it though if you don't look too closely. Although I have no idea how this would look on a TV so who knows. I didn't use a debanding filter because the source video, as good as it is, is pretty soft looking and slightly washed out if you know what I mean. Debanding would make it look more soft and artificial which I didn't like. Debanding works well for some videos, this is not one of them :P Would just make it look more like painting.
Anyway, here goes.
