Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

Encoded from a remux blu-ray source, with a VMAF above 95 (tested on a select "challenging" scene), for the ultimate “snob” quality with minimal file size.

The 4K transfer of this film has been heavily criticized, with most people (including myself) preferring the 1080p Blu-ray video. The one thing the 1080p Blu-ray release doesn't have, is the Dolby Atmos audio track. Here is a "hybrid" file, with the completely uncompressed atoms track (over 4GB of audio) and a near remux encode from the 1080p Blu-ray for the best viewing experience.



If you have any other releases that you'd like this treatment for (currently considering some Marvel "Phase 1" movies), please let me know!
