A Mesc Original - Making The Impossible Possible Get new release alerts and connect: https://mescoriginals.com/ Personal Note: This release uses a higher-quality web source and a completely different processing approach to achieve the original vision I had for this project. Looking back at Version 1, I was still learning the software and figuring out what each setting actually did—lots of flipping levers and pushing buttons to see what happened. Every project since then has helped refine my workflow, and I think the difference here speaks for itself. For the audio, I remuxed and synchronized the Dolby Digital (DD) track from Version 1. Personally, I find it much better balanced than the Dolby Digital Plus (DD+) track included with the newer source, which required me to turn my system up significantly higher to reach the same listening level. I wanted to include both so everyone can choose the mix they prefer. I also added additional subtitle options for this release. ------------------------------------------------------------- Technical Notes: Default audio is 5.1 DD. Also included is a 5.1 DD+ track. Subtitle tracks are included for English, French, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil), Romanian, Spanish, and Swedish. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All stills were taken from an 8K HDR screen. Before (left) and after (right) stills are not full frame. Enjoy.
