Horizon - How To Film The Impossible - Remastered (Released)
Time

Thanks for the restoration of that Horizon episode, Harmy! As a layman that doesn’t work in special effects or the film industry, it was amazing to see what analog tricks people could do back in the day! Also cool to see the analog origins of terms like matte etc.

I have 3 questions for you:

  • was there any reason you used H264 instead of H265/AV1 as a video codec?
  • was there any reason you used AAC instead of Opus as an audio codec?
  • is it OK if I put your 2 restoration versions and your 5-min intro into a torrent and start seeding it for more people to grab it?

Thanks for the great work again!
