Note from Encoder
Encoded with a modified slow 2-Pass @ 7,750 kb/s. Includes subtitles in English and other languages, a commentary track, and extras. The 5.1 surround tracks from both the bluray and DVD releases are included as the bluray audio has been remixed slightly to include more LFE activity and some roll-off. I generally like the bluray track better so it's set as the default but the DVD audio is there for people who want the original mix.
