Note from Encoder
Encoded with a modified slow 2-Pass @ 12 MB/s, includes English and French subtitles. This one gave me real trouble encoding due to the way it was originally filmed. Much of the film is very sharp with an extremely fine but erratic film grain. However, the camera focus also tends to be slightly unstable creating periodic muddy frames with high levels of macroblocking. These artifacts are present in the source and I've cleaned them up as best I can while still retaining the detail of the rest of the film. This is also why the bitrate is higher on this encode than usual.
