Release Notes:

About a year ago, The Criterion Collection added this
excellent movie by David Fincher to their selection.
It is an excellent new scan and shows great improvements
over the existing VC-1 BluRay and HDDVD. Comparison
screenshots to the old release by FSiHD can be found in
the /Compare folder that comes with this release. As it
is usual for our internals, we encoded this movie with
advanced x264 settings. Most importantly, CRF with an
approriate value was used instead of a simple 2pass with
fixed size to retain the amazing details of this remaster.

The Criterion release does not only have a brand new
digital transfer for the video, it also features the
original theatrical audio line, and brand new near-field
mix that is designed for home theatre viewing that was
supervised by sound designer Ren Klyce who was the original
supervising sound editor on this film. Both were included
in this release so that you can decide yourself what you
like the most. Also, the commentary track with David
Fincher, Michael Dougles and various other crew members
has been included. Check the criterion link at the top
for full information.

Last but not least, the Criterion release includes an
alternate ending to the film. We (read: the encoder) were
too lazy to encode it, as it's only 160MB in size with
a duration of just over a minute, so it has been remuxed
to an .mkv file and can be found in the /Alternate.Ending
folder.

Now, enjoy this brilliant masterpiece! If you have never
watched it before, you are seriously doing something wrong.

Everyday takes figuring out how to live,
Sometimes it feels like a mistake,
Sometimes it's a winners parade,
Delight And Angers,
I guess thats the way it's supposed to be...
