I've notived that the BD has different colors:

Besides the original Criterion release and the Arrow release, which is a remaster of it, there are a number of non-Criterion releases. Three listed on blu-ray.com from Japan - although they may all be reissues of a single release. Another from Mexico. One from France. I'm guessing the Criterion disc differs a bit from the others. Not sure why this happens but you see it a lot. Contrast and color aren't the same with different releases of the same movie.

By the way, thank you for rip and uploading them. Are you the maker of sos?

Yeah, the sos stands for son_of_satan - the name I go by on Usenet. When I create a remux or bluray rip myself, I stick that tag on it because the releaser is moi. When you don't see that it means I'm reposting something I got elsewhere.

All .m2ts files are in 1920x1080 format (or 3840x2160 in the case of a 4K bluray) even when the actual image is closer to a 4:3 square than a 16:9 widescreen. Usually my encoder isn't fooled by black bars on the left and right. I have the autocrop enabled so that it outputs a video with the dimensions of the active part of the image. That gives you more video quality for the file size. But even if I don't crop it, the final encode usually looks right. The software appears to have updated recently. There are some minor changes, and some of the settings have reverted to defaults. Including the crop option being unselected. I checked the box again and generated a new file - this one has the proper aspect.

I've updated my previous post with new ed2k and download links. Apologies to anyone who downloaded the original file! If you grabbed the remux instead (the big file) that one's fine. Otherwise go back and download the corrected rip:

So I'm lucky. ;)

BTW: The audio on the blu-ray is uncompressed wav. :shock: Very unusual.

It's lpcm. Unlike the rip I didn't do any processing whatsoever, just opened the playlist in MKV Merge and saved it in .mkv format.

Is the aspect ratio on this one slightly off? I compared it to the previous 720p release, and it seems slightly stretched horizontally.

definitely a good reason to pixel-peep!
