I’ll be releasing a balls to the wall version encoded at maximum settings with uncompressed audio output.
Since you mention it and that they are now 1000% finished, would you also do the same with your PT ? (by the way the new crawls really look nice; new texts are also an improvement, it’s subtle yet better; good call about the colors that aren’t the same, I don’t remember if it was the case for the theatrical versions).
Due to the shortened runtime, little compression was used in the first place on them. Ep1 has noise (grain) added, and Ep2 is based on a noisy HDTV capture. Episodes 2 and 3’s audio mix is based primarily on DVD audio, and all use deleted scenes.
All in all, it wouldn’t make sense to output a version higher than what will fit onto a BD25.
