you guys are always free to make your own audio, it is very easy to rip it and replace with your own, I will use whatever bit rate it takes to put these on there, I want this to be my last set I ever do, because all I really care about is getting a retail Blu-ray release anyway, so I want to get this as good as I can and get as many different audio options as I can, and the video is at 6500 and that will not change.

so if you don't like what I put out, like I said above, make your own.

DJ,

I think the dilemma is that a few of the audio files derive from your raw masters, so all subsequent versions would be derived from whatever you put on here. Thus, IMO it is important to put priority on the newly available mixes here--theatrical and 1985. Unless you are willing to give out the raw files. But a lot of people probably won't even know to ask you. So, for what its worth, if you get into space issues I would sacrifice the bitrate on whatever pre-existing sources you are using so that the new mixes will be in as best quality possible, as this will probably be the source for everyone else to rip from.

Also, this is a question for the video side:

I was impressed by a screenshot posted in another thread of your latest pass, but I see that there is still niceable softening of the image. Do you know what causes this? Is it the anti-aliasing that smoothes out everything trying to get rid of the jaggies, or is it the grain removal that does it trying to scrub out the grain? Or is it both? Or are you basically just using g-force's scripts and don't know too much about the technical side of things?
