REPACK: a typo caused one chapter to be 30s ahead of where it should be, apologies.

The new 4K restoration is a significant upgrade over the typical DVD-era master of the 2011 BDs. Unfortunately, the UHD suffers from Kino’s typical incompetent encoding.

The 5.1 mixes on the UHD and old BDs sound similar, but there has been a very sloppy filtering of the CRT whine inherent to the source recording on the UHD track. Instead of merely attenuating the whine, Kino chose to delete all frequencies from ~15.5 kHz to 15.8 kHz, including in sections where there is minimal to no whine. The old BDs 5.1 is not free from issues, however, as it has 120 clipped samples in the center channel and 10 in the left channel. Lastly, the UHD 5.1 has a heavy dither as it was filtered, dithered to 16-bit, and padded back to 24-bit. Personally I can’t detect too much of a difference between the two tracks, though I ultimately decided on the old BD 5.1 as its clipping is extremely minimal and doesn’t have the destructive filtering of the UHD 5.1. The archival commentary on the UHD is a transcode of the DVD/USA BD commentary track with no Dolby Surround metadata, so the USA BD track was preferred.Subtitles from all discs were tonemapped to match the UHD subtitles (65% white, #a7a7a7). English (US / SDH) subtitles from source #3 were OCR’d, spellchecked, and included in SDH and non-SDH versions. Alternate English SDH subtitles were included from the UHD (despite generally poor formatting and aliasing) as they include song lyrics. Alternate subtitles were included where there were significant differences between the two subtitles, with the non-alternate subtitles matching the UHD subtitles. Named chapters were muxed from source #2 and adjusted to nearby I- or P-frames where necessary.
