You’re not welcome and stop wasting your time with this project.
If this 4K physical release doesn’t include the original cinematic audio, all you have to do is downscale from 4K to 1080p without use of shitty AI upscaling, an encode or remux, and add the audio track as PCM or FLAC from the Laserdisc. That would be your V4!
I’d rather have a 4K remux from the physical disc with the Laserdisc audio as LPCM as an included track anyway, not some 1080p only bollocks.
I’m not sure what you’re talking about with downscales and AI or why you’ve come in here with such vitriol. Wasting my time? What time? The project is long since finished, years ago. Did you not notice this goes back to 2014? Your assumption there will be a V4 is based on … I don’t know, whatever is going on in your mind. I have already said this will be obsoleted and retired with the release of the 4K theatrical cut. There’s no need for you to white knight for the studio.
I don’t know why you’re so hung up about associating AI upscaling here. I never touched it, and seeing as this is an 10+ year old project, it pre-dates that usage in the industry. One thing I will agree with you on is that AI upscaling is the devil. But maybe you should direct your venom about that in a more appropriate forum.
But to your last point, I will be syncing the laserdisc audio tracks to the new 4K version, and will make those tracks available here. Even for you!
