It's now 2 aiff files zipped up, if anyone cares to listen.
Thanks for the advice noiz2, I'll give it a shot. And thanks for being so thorough everyone, I REALLY appreciate any advice you guys dish out.
EDIT: just saw your dropbox post noiz, I'll be there in a second.

Oh and for a general point of interest and why I personally don't like stp files. Take a look at your sizes. I have FCP so I downloaded the originals and then spit out a WAV file.
The stp files are a bit over 31 megs each. THe wav file extracted out of the stp file is 600K. If you want to know why right click on a stp file and choose "show package contents". A stp file is a package and it has with in it everything that has ever happened to the file and in some cases video also. In "compare" for instance there are five different aiff files (three around 800k each, probably different applied FX to the clip you sent), two at 444K (probably some renders of stuff you tried) and the full three minute and twenty one second original WAV file. And an assortment of other houskeeping files and the Quick Time reference movie that is what STP "sees" as the clip.

So here is a link to the "compare" file run through a quick pass of RX.
Wow, yeah- that's pretty damn good, all things considered. I boosted it about 15 db and only noticed a slight amount of noise degradation that's really negligible.
So- in your professional opinion is my sound all that bad? Also, should I just go the noise print route in STP to get similar results to what you did?
And finally- a FINAL mix is obviously impossible with my setup and lack of knowlege, but just to make a temp DVD mix, is there a rule of thumb as to where my "normal" or "calm" dialogue should be hitting? Is -12db too low? Because I did a project once where I made sure normal conversation hit around -12db to -6b and it was MUCH MUCH louder than any TV show or DVD on my television. Again, I'm sure there's variables, but for a temp DVD mix.
And thanks again for everything Noiz2.
