I noticed that the video sources are the original Blu-Rays, and not the remastered Blu-Rays. It would be nice if a new version of this edit was made with them. Here’s where to find them:
What does M4 think of the remastered picture?
These have higher levels of DNR and tinkering.
True, that’s a good point. I know LOTR suffers most but I hadn’t heard much about The Hobbit remasters, I know the HDR is pretty cool and redone grading might be better than previously, but given the fact that I’m already redoing my own color grading and they probably did some unnecessary DNR/tinkering, I think the 1080p version is the one to stick with.
