Note from Encoder
Encoded with a modified slow 2-Pass @ 10,000 kb/s. Includes subtitles in English and other languages, five commentary tracks, and loads of extras from multiple releases. The video and English PGS subtitles are from the Shout Factory 4K remaster and the audio and other subtitles are synced from the Cinephiles 4K Shout Factory release. Some audio tracks were already low bitrate FLAC in the source and were left as is instead of encoding to a lossy format. Also, while some releases for this movie have surround sound or atmos tracks I didn't bother including them here as this release is already large and those upmixes sound very poor.
