Outta curiosity, just what does the DL version offer that the SL does not?

 

The actual authoring is the same (Boon23 helped me out here).  The feature, however on the dual layer is less compressed than the single layer (two and a half hour film plus all the DVDRom stuff was pretty compressed).  Other than the PAL to NTSC resizing, it is the same bitrate as the original PAL.  Also, the dual layer version was actually slowed down from 25fps to 23.976 so the audio doesn't sound sped up.  The single layer version was converted using the method that keeps the original sound.  I then pitch corrected the individual commentaries that were actually already at the correct speed but now slowed down.  I also denoised and depopped the soundtrack manually.  Basically, I used all the lessons learned in my conversion of Building Empire and applied them to this cut.  It's been done for almost two years but was never released except to a few people directly.  I noticed on Demonoid that the original uploads were dead and deleted and only XVID versions survived.  A few people requested the full DVDs, so I took the opportunity to upload the DL for the first time.
