Seems like you're doing great JOB :) I didn't saw this movie, missed it but guess I'm gonna watch it with your extreme rip :) Thanks a ton !!!!

btw, hope you get Predestination (2014) very good sci fi from the heinlein short....

btw, we dont have HQ for source code or meet the robinson :P

thats strange? Anoxmous has an IMAX version with the shifting ARs ?

To quote a comment already pointed out on that encode

can u put back a 2channel aac audio please, its only 100+mb thanks

for compatibility

I was also curious as to why use AC-3 5.1 instead of your tried and true stereo/8channel dual-audio uploads from the past? did you clarify the reasoning for this anywhere before, maybe I missed it.

the reason for the change was the shear number of people complaining to me not just on here but through other channels in which they could find a way to contact me.

when I first started I was doing simple stereo AAC alongside a 2nd track of 5.1 AAC, however AAC is not a bitstreamable universal standard meaning there are hundreds of thousands of people that would be stuck with stereo output on their 5.1 or better surround sound systems. Additionally the simple stereo downmix I had was just outright terrible, granted a touch better than yify/yts's, it's just bad. Add to this the fact that so many downloaders were apple quicktime users which quicktime has a nasty fault in it's software in which if 2 or more AAC tracks were present in the mp4, it would attempt to play both/all of them simultaneously which well, makes for a nasty echoey mish mash of nasty sounding garbage.

AC-3 being a 30 year old standard, bitstreamable, and after the help of flicksick discoverying that a 384kbps encode not only produced a very good and acceptable level of quality along the previously mentioned benefits which also includes a ac-3 standard for proper downmixing to stereo systems (which for some people aac 5.1 downmixing to stereo was not universally supported).

The difference in overall size isn't all to much vs the 96kbps+192kbps dual streas I was doing (288kbps vs 384kbps), the audio file size is noticeably larger compared to the dual aac tracks, however it carries several advantages as I was saying.

Sadly, some companies STILL do not have ac-3 audio support, apple for example decided to ditch it at one point (far as I was told it was gone still), due to not wanting to pay dolby the relatively super low cost of licencing the ac-3 decoder for their software. Some people REFUSE to use vlc or other free media players to watch movies and STAY to their apple or old windows media player to play their stuff.

It's a no win situation short of providing a ac-3 track and aac track and even then, someone is bound to complain about which order they are in or that one is over-riding the other.

So I made a final decision, until AAC5.1 becomes more widely accepted and people get setup with HDMI LPCM audio output from whatever device they are using to properly decode and set 6 channel AAC5.1 to their receivers or device, the ac-3 384kbps is about the most universal you can get short of 2 channel AAC or mp3.

wow. you drive a great point. i'm okay with this.

there is no "imax" edition.... they are all 2.40:1 aspect ratio

The only ones that have 1.78:1 are scenes in the 3D version which cannot be idealistically encoded for a single eye without having a strange effect (avengers 3D single eye issue)

Just google it, the issue is that there is a left and right eye, and what happens is that there is movement for both images being overlayed that results in a shifting border if you only have just a single eye being viewed. The overlap keeps the image on the screen full and what you see, so the "black borders" that would apply to a single eye play no part in whats being displayed.

There were a few 3D movies.. such as Avengers in which a single eye was used with the claim that it produced a higher quality image..... (debateable considering the cons)... however there are several situations where the black border edges into the screen several times from all sides. More violent a shake or effect, the more the borders creep.

Either way, I'm not using a 3D source to try and combine into a 2D format. Far to many problems and issues.
