I just made that mod to my splicer and I have never seen or heard better splices since making the mod. Pops suck and if it stretches, then you have to waste all that time fixing the splice, besides, what if you never get to it, then it's there the whole run. I think making it perfect once is the way to go.

I would just like to take this opportunity to add that there are no bad looking Moulin Rouge prints.

Uhmmmmm, ah, yes there are John. Just imagine a print of Moulin Rouge that has black, green and yellow scratches running vertical, horizontal and maybe even diagonal throughout the movie. Add to that some green and yellow standing loop scratches and let's throw in some sprocketing for good measure. Heck, just for fun let's add a few brain wraps and at least one thrown print and make sure that the end of the credits is completely missing. Trust me, they're out there and unfortunately they are a lot more prevalent than any of us would like to admit.

Here is the "official" practice for lab splices, from the Association of Cinema and Video Laboratories (ACVL) Handbook:
http://www.acvl.org/4c.htm
http://www.acvl.org/manual.htm

Splice-free release prints would require wasting considerable amounts of film. Not many reel lengths are exact increments of the 4000-foot or 6000-foot raw stock lengths supplied by the film manufacturers.
