I’d like to know if the compression during the Episode IV opening crawl is better on the single file version as opposed to the one with the crawl options. The starfield looks a bit pixelated on the latter.
Thanks.
Well, there won’t be a dual boot option for 2.7, but for 2.6:
No, the bitrate is actually higher for that version than for the MKV, because there are no DTS-HD audio tracks. However, there are some more artifacts present in the ANH intro (for both that MKV and the dual). Didn’t really seem to be the case during the crawl, but rather during the flyover. I think it’s due to the color correction having increased saturation, combined with the blue glare present in the 2004/2011 master.
I’ll probably do a limited release of the ANH 2.7 MKV. I used the blu-ray as source rather than Respecialized. It’s a little lighter on the artifacts but still not perfect.
