Furthermore I didn't use the DTS-HD Master audio (2273 kbps, 16 bit) from the 'Spider-Man 3 Remastered in 4K' blu-ray disc. Instead I had the 2 audio tracks from the "old 2K" blu-ray disc. A TrueHD 5.1 audio track (3424 kbps, 24 bit) and a LPCM 5.1 audio track (4608 kbps, 16 bit) - I chose to use the LPCM audio!

Just like a retail Blu-Ray is! This will NEVER change, so don't ask! If you don't like that then go download the title you want somewhere else! The reason why Grym's mkv's are encoded this way? Read the Q & A number 2. Thanks! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q & A: 1) How do I Bitstream TrueHD & DTS-HD Master audio From my PC to My surround Receiver? Part 1 - Setting up Sound / Bitstreaming in Windows (Only read and Use first Part about Windows): https://www.mediasmartserver.net/2010/02/02/guide-setting-up-bitstreaming-with-your-windows-7-htpc-part-i/ Part 2 - Setting up Software & Software Player: https://www.mediasmartserver.net/2011/06/30/guide-setting-up-lav-filters-mpc-hc-for-all-your-splitter-and-audio-needs 2) So how can I watch your not cropped x264 rip in the so-called 2.35:1 Anamorphic/Letterbox image, mate? First, I'm not any special expert on this aspect ratio thing regarding technicalities about anamorphic lenses or how a pro DP obtains the 2.35:1 aspect ratio. If you want real expertise on the matter then use your powerful friend Google. What really matters here is that the movie is shown in the correct aspect ratio on the telly! My English is second language so bear with me. Ok second, we have Film Aspect Ratio = Letterbox, CinemaScope, Panavision etc. = 2.35:1, 1.85:1, 1.78:1, 1.66:1, 1.33:1 ect. Film Aspect Ratio is the ratio of the width of the visible area of the video/film frame to the height of the visible area. Then there's the "black bars". In reality, these "black bars" are actually unused areas of the image. These areas are black to allow for better contrast. The wrongly called "black bars" is in fact part of the image! So if any part of the black unused areas is cropped/cut of the image then the original aspect/scope/letterbox ratio is lost! For ever! And then we have Encoding Aspect Ratio. For example full-resolution 2.35:1 anamorphic aspect ratio encoding is 2538x1080. Blu-Ray discs is 16:9 (1.85:1) (1920x1080) aspect ratio encoded. But the original Film Aspect Ratio is still 2.35:1 anamorphic/letterbox scope or 1.85:1 widescreen or what ever film aspect ratio. All depending on what film aspect ratio/framing the Director has chosen to use. So you have to differentiate between the two. Third, Yes I know that a Blu-Ray player cannot playback anamorphic/letterbox material (Film Aspect Ratio and Encoding Aspect Ratio) like the DVD player could, but the anamorphic/letterbox scope, as mentioned above, is still in the transfer/encode, so for this to work you have to rip the Blu-Ray disc to PC, and play it back anamorphic/Letterbox from there (Film Aspect Ratio). Or just grab one of Grym's uncropped x264 rips and use that for anamorphic/letterbox playback from PC. Let's move on with the how's and do's of showing a correct 2.35:1 anamorphic/letterbox aspect ratio shot image on your 16:9 tv screen. You can watch the movie in original 2.35:1 anamorphic/letterbox scope, like you do in the theater, by setting the aspect ratio in your software player to 2.35:1. Aka Panavision, Cinemascope, Metrovision ect (anamorphic/letterbox) Example: Start up MPC-HC. Open a 2.35:1 Grym mkv encode or retail BD 2.35:1 m2ts file in MPC-HC. Right click in center of MPC-HC screen. Choose 'Video Frame'. Choose 'Override Aspect Ratio'. Choose '235:100' (2.35:1). A lot of software players has a aspect ratio setup more or less like this, so with a tiny bit of effort anyone should be able. --- Display setting on your 16:9 flat screen you set to 1:1 pixel mapping or whatever the name is on your telly. On my own Pioneer Kuro LX5090H 16:9 flat tv it's called 'Dot by Dot'. If set correct then the image on your 16:9 flat screen should look something like the screen croppings on these pictures/images: https://someimage.com/Q2le You got image/screen cropping like on the pictures? Now then please search 'Anamorphic Widescreen' in Youtube for more video reference. Ok, now try doing same playback procedure with a cropped so-called "2.35:1" 1920x800 rip. 1920x800 cannot be 2.35:1 on a tv screen. It's impossible! On a correct set tv screen it get's stretched to 1.85:1, because part of the black areas are cropped of. --- If you want to watch 1.85:1 aspect ratio movies in the correct aspect ratio you then set the aspect ratio to 2.35:1, as well, and the image will have the "small" black bars. --- Aspect ratios on 16:9 flat tv (Display setting on tv set to 1:1 pixel mapping and resolution is 1080p): 1.33:1 - Black bars on all sides of image (4:3) - Aka 1.37:1 Academy Standard Image: https://bayimg.com/NaOPKaAfd 1.78:1 - Full screen. Image fills whole of screen (16:9) - HDTV & Home Video Image: https://bayimg.com/nAJhnAAfC 1.85:1 - Black bars Top & Bottom of image (Small) - Movies, HDTV & Home Video Image: https://bayimg.com/nAjHFAafc 2.35:1 - Black bars Top & Bottom of image (Big) - Aka 2.40:1 & Anamorphic Scope Image: https://bayimg.com/MaJHjaAFc 2.35:1 on a theater screen: https://bayimg.com/CAjLlAAFC 3) Why don't You crop 2.35:1 Film Aspect Ratio Movies?

Wow. You guys (the encoders) really try hard to defend your point of view. Is this document with every release?
My take; A 1920x1080 release is at least a true blu-ray aspect rip. Because that's what's on the disc. But what a waste of encoded bits. Who knows really how much we're talking about here unless someone does/did tests. But it doesn't seem logical to keep the black area/pixels in every frame of the encode when the information/pixels is always the same. Just get rid of the black pixels and keep the meat in the new encode.
I guess some people like a little black tofu with their steak.
Stubborn is as stubborn does.

Also, Quote;
"Ok, now try doing same playback procedure with a cropped so-called "2.35:1" 1920x800 rip. 1920x800 cannot be 2.35:1 on a tv screen. It's impossible! On a correct set tv screen it get's stretched to 1.85:1, because part of the black areas are cropped of."
I've been trying for hours to understand their logic in this statement. Why the hell make a big deal over this? It's a moot point.
1920x800 plays perfectly fine on computers. XBMC plays them perfect too. The computer fits the 1920 and the rest just works out to whatever the aspect ratio is.
If you took a screen shot of a 1920x1080 movie, then put that image in Photoshop and remove the black areas. For a 2.35:1 film I bet you'd find you'd have close to a 1920x800 image, or pretty close. Because technically 1920 divided by 800 equals 2.4, not 2.35. A real 2.35:1 would be 1920x817. Because 1920 divided by 817 equals 2.35, which would be a 2.35:1 aspect ratio.
Encoders; It's not hard here, it's just math and logic.
Example; Let's say someone filmed something in a 96:1 aspect ratio. And if they wanted to encode that film to blu-ray then they'd of course be bound by the horizontal of 1920 to keep true to 1080p HD. Hey, it just so happens that with 1920 you can get an aspect ratio of 96:1 by using 1920x20 pixels. Because 1920 divided by 20 equals 96.
So with the encoders logic, there would be 1060 horizontal lines of pure black that they would have encoded in the rip. Unnecessary information in the file.
Why not just take the 1920x20 information in each frame and make a smaller encode and probably even a higher quality per size than the other method.
Oh well. It's probably like beating a dead horse. Who am I to change the system of a release group. Maybe one of these days they'll have an epiphany.

Skram0 :
If you knew even the slightest about encoding, you would understand that the encoding process will see the black bars, and understand that they are there throughout the whole film.
It will then use a very very small amount of data to encode them, since they never change throughout the film.
Getting native 2.35:1 to work on a TV is not easy for everyone. 16:9 is easy, and is guaranteed to work every time.
Dont like the rip, dont complain, and get your version that you like elsewhere.
As always, cheers for the Rips VonRicht, even though in this case I would have gone with the TrueHD.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks, mate.
Why do you, in this case, prefer the TrueHD over the LPCM audio?
Thanks, mate.
Why do you, in this case, prefer the TrueHD over the LPCM audio?
VonRicht:
I tend to prefer TrueHD over DTSHD, almost always.
I also have it stuck in my head that LPCM is the equivalent of WAV for films, and i'm probably wrong...
In this case LPCM vs TrueHD, its a split between 4.6Mbps and 16bit, or 3.2Mbps and 24bit.
Seeing as I won't be able to hear the difference, i'd go with a standard i'm very happy with, and a slight size gain.
I actually do my own rips when I have BluRay source, and try to keep the full HD audio and video at DVD-R9 size.
I try, but don't always succeed. lol
The 7.1 from Into Darkness put it over 10Gigs/ but I can't help that. Too good.
Just as a side note, watch a DTSHD movie, especially the beginning, and watch the current bitrate.
On most movies, the bitrate stays at full, ie 3Mbps or more, even when there is just hiss and background noise.
TrueHD really varies the bitrate, enabling smaller files, but without any loss.
I don't believe DTS-HD does much in the way a variable encoding, not that i've spent the whole film watching the bitrate...
Sorry, long post, but worth it.
Keep up the good work mate.
I can't do smileys, the keyboards gone fubar.

Hi, First of all thanks to the uploader, been waiting long time for this one. Can you please tell me which audio track should i use for the perfect surround sound ? I have Sony 5.1 home theater system, Not really sure whether Audio track 1 is True-HD or Audio track 2.
A/V 10/10! Gdu job!

@khanzakir21:
The first audio track is the one you go for. Read the description for specs.
@Gacy8Gein & Alia.69:
I don't understand why you would shy away from LPCM/PCM audio files. It's the highest quality around.
Meaning that PCM audio is uncompressed and therefore encode both sound and silence at the same bitrate/number of bits, while lossless audio (DTS-HD, TrueHD) does variable encoding.
In music producing all is recorded in a PCM file or PCM in a wave file at highest quality. That PCM file you send to a mastering guy and he makes the final PCM audio master, from which you do all your other media encodings from.
I don't know how the film music business works, but I'm quite confident they also work with PCM or aiff as highest quality recording and from which they encode to all the other formats like DTS-HD, TrueHD and AC-3.
BTW Alia.69 if you read the info you provided with your link then you'll understand that the problem was not the PCM audio, but that the mkvmaker software didn't encode the PCM correctly. Newer version of mkvmaker has this corrected the link states.
BUT imo you should use eac3to to extract PCM audio then you know for sure that the PCM is extracted/encoded 100% correct!
Gacy8Gein & Alia.69 could your opposition to PCM be that your receiver does not flash up the red light, like it does with a DTS-HD/TrueHD audio track, when a PCM audio track is used? :)

@vonRicht thanks mate.
@VonRicht (Got my smilies back :) )
To tell you the truth, I first saw the LPCM tracks on my Full Metal Jacket BR.
Unfortunately, just before TrueHD and DTSHD became mainstream, I popped one and a half grand $, on an amp and speakers (Denon + Klipsch) which don't do HD Audio.
They are fucking awesome tho. I hear things that I never heard before on the same tracks :)
I just rip to HD audio for later, when I'll finally plump up the cash for an HD amp.
I'm already deafening the neighbors with 5x100Watts RMS :)
I'll probably need a Sub too. ATM no tracks have bottomed out the tower speakers for Bass.
HD Audio will surely do that.
LPCM vs TrueHD, I'd prefer TrueHD over LPCM anyday, if it was available.
I'm not going to be converting or anything, but like on the Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind BR, they had both, so I chose TrueHD, which iirc, was the smaller file, but the exact same audio as the DTSHD version.
btw, have you got Full Metal Jacket in anything else than LPCM? :)
As always, keep up the good work, and Thanks for your Ups. :)

I run a Denon + Klipsch system and HD audio won't won't bottom out your towers; possibly if you got the cheapo ones, not likely though. I still stuck a sub in my setup though.
On my Denon rather than getting a readout stating LPCM audio I get "Multi Chanel In" though for DTS-HD & True HD they readout correctly.

Awesome!! love these Re/Mastered in 4K!!! they are multiple times better than the normal BluRay releases by far!!!!!!!!!!! too bad other people don't have the "eye" to see it... i have an 82" tv and they are 20x better looking than the standard BluRay releases... but i'm a sucker for quality i guess... and your releases are easy to convert back to single BD-R disks to watch on my sony player.
Keep up the EXCELLENT WORK!!! awesome!!!!

Like @Skram0, I too have tried to wrap my head around your position of 1920x1080 rips. I have read your Answer-#2 many times, and visited the websites you recommend. I have spent time playing around with aspect ratios on MPC to see if I can discover your reasons.
I have a very simple question that I feel would help me understand your position:
Is it possible or impossible to crop a movie correctly?

"On my Denon rather than getting a readout stating LPCM audio I get "Multi Chanel In" though for DTS-HD & True HD they readout correctly."
And that is totally correct. The LPCM file runs straight from PC audio into your receiver untouched. That's why your receiver states multichannel 5.1 or 7.1. It's all ok and your fine. Your receiver will do that always when you play a LPCM file from PC to receiver.
And don't forgot that an LPCM file which runs to your receiver is the best audio qualitet you can get at the moment. LPCM is un-compressed and un-manipulated. That's what you receiver says multichannel - it doesn't re-encode. It just let the LPCM audio from PC runs straight into your speakers. And it sounds very good!

@vonRicht
First, I'd like to thank you for replying. I appreciate that you took the time. I also understand that you probably face a lot of ignorance and I can tell that you are at your wit's end.
I have a follow up, if you're willing to continue to clarify.
I think a distinction should be made separating the PRESENTATION from the CONTENT, as I believe this is a major point of confusion.
PRESENTATION
Clearly there are many ways that presentation can be screwed up, by practically every device from the media player to the TV. Simply by pushing the "Zoom" button on most TV remote controls can result in obvious aspect ratio distortion.
During the long transition from 4:3 TV (non square pixel ratio) to the standard 16:9 HDTV (square pixel ratio 1:1) there was a lot of consumer confusion that resulted in the Full Screen crop, Pan & Scan, Widescreen, and Widescreen-anamorphic editions of DVDs.
My primary point here, is that there used to be a lot of issues that have mostly been resolved, and that there is still a lot of unavoidable human error. If a user has his video being scaled improperly, then that's his problem-- but not your or my problem.
CONTENT/DATA
On the topic of content: If a content producer assumes two things:
1. A square pixel aspect ratio (1:1)
2. End-user will only perform uniform scaling
First, I'd like to thank you for replying. I appreciate that you took the time. I also understand that you probably face a lot of ignorance and I can tell that you are at your wit's end.
I have a follow up, if you're willing to continue to clarify.
I think a distinction should be made separating the PRESENTATION from the CONTENT, as I believe this is a major point of confusion.

SUMMARY
Maintaining aspect ratio used to be an issue, but modern content and modern presentation hardware and software have no problem maintaining aspect ratio-- except by stupid end-users that don't read manuals.
By not cropping, you are adding padding where padding is not needed. This doesn't affect very many people, as the majority will view movies on at 16:9 device.
The people that you ARE affecting are users that wish to watch your content within a "view port" wider than 16:9. Instead of seeing the film's frame flush with the top and bottom, they will see gaps that represent that added padding.
Here is an image that provides visual aids to my points. I looked for a scene that contained a circle, to test for correctness. Cars is a 2.4:1, while your Shutter Island is a 2:33:1, and the aspect ratios are maintained. Notice that your Shutter Island has unnecessary padding (shown in red), while the cropped movie expands to fill the view port.

You are the only releaser doing non-crops. I respect you for what you do, but I haven't ready anything to convince me that cropped versions of content is intrinsically bad.
I hope I have made my points clear, without attacking you. I'm not trying to argue, but to understand your point, and help you to rewrite your answer to be clearer if I agree.
