Some notes about this baby:

The aspect ratio changes from 1.33:1 to 1.36:1
somewhere at the beginning of the second act
and finally to 4.00:1 in the final triptych
scene. Since both dimensions are in full use
at one time or another there is no crop.

The film is split across 4 parts over 3 discs,
all of which are 24.000fps. They also all have
dupe frames, but unfortunately in no consistent
pattern. It starts out with 1/4 dupe frames and
then later changes to 1/6 (and maybe something
else, didn't bother checking the whole 333mins).
Instead of trying to restore it and maybe end up
with some variable framerate weirdness I decided
to just leave it as is. Feel free to nuke it or
try your luck at fixing it properly, I don't
really care at this point.

Extras:

- Commentary audio from Paul Cuff (mux script
included)
- Alternative single screen ending scene (also
not decimated or anything in case anyone wants
to mux their own version with this ending)
- Individual panels of the triptych scene (also
not decimated, because why bother. Furthermore
left and right panels are not cropped so that
the alignment isn't thrown off in case anyone
actually wants to watch this in a three screen
setup)
- The Charm of Dynamite: A BBC documentary about
Gance and his silent films
- Composing Napoleon - An Interview with Carl Davis

I think that about covers it. In any case, enjoy!
