Note from Encoder

Merry Christmas 2025 from QxR!

After being disappointed by Tigole's choice of using the Shout! Factory 2K release for his 1080p encode way back when, I vowed to do my own encode from the Arrow RM4K. Here it is at last.

I shan't clog up space here and explain why the Arrow RM4K is better, so here are some notes from Pass the Popcorn, which include detailed references and screenshots:
https://pastebin.com/VXkQ594G
The Shout! 2K screenshots may appear sharper, but the film actually looks better in motion on the Arrow RM4K.
Sorry, Tigole. But screenshots aren't everything ;)

The main feature comes with a new 4.1 track, the old 5.1 track and the original mono. The new 4.1 sounds better than the 5.1 and of course the original mono (explained further in the PTP notes above). It is therefore set as the default track. All bonus features from the Arrow, Shout! and Turbine releases are included as well as the movie's official soundtrack in lossless FLAC format and 2 bonus commentaries which weren't included on Tigole's 1080p or 2160p release.
