23 OCT 2025 - We are back! If you have been following us over the last few years, you will know that the last 2 months have been rough. We website was practically not loading. Sorry for the mess. We are back though and everything should run smoothly now. New servers. Updated domains. And new owners. We invite you all to start uploading torrents again!
This is a downscale of the 4K UHD release, which is a high quality scan of the 35mm master. The older 1080p BD release is not a scan of the 35mm master, and also lower quality (more/larger film grain, lower detail).

P.S. denoise-noise-level in AV1 removes noise (file grain in this case), models it, and then puts the model with the video stream, which AV1 regenerates and adds during playback. Film grain is random after all.
P.P.S desat=0 works with hable, but can cause more colorful(less “pale”) highlights than expected with mobius (ex. Sol’s Laser)
P.P.P.S v1 didn’t have the english audio track like it was supposed to.
