Just a curiosity of mine... actually, I watch almost always US movies - maybe, 90%? - probably due to the fact I love sci-fi, fantasy, horror, action films, genres not so prolific in Italy.

And, if you watch them, which genres, years, titles, directors, actors do you prefer?

(warning: anyone who writes "cinepanettoni" shall be shot! )

I never thought about the importance of the checksum, until today... it is not only because one can check if the downloaded file is indeed error-free, but also to know if a given project is untouched; I mean, I'm aware that some of my projects are remuxed, discarding audio and/or subs tracks, with other ones remuxed in their place, but, would the video be left untouched?

At the end, the hash string is like a signature of your work; it would help to know if a given file is the original, untouched one, or at least if one or more muxed tracks are.

So, from now on, I will include hash strings for the main m2ts file, as well as the h264 demuxed stream (and eventually audio and/or subs tracks, if they are restored/fixed as well); I have decided to use MD-5, SHA-1 and SHA3-512, to have more checksum options; also file size and mediainfo would be included as well.

Example of a info.txt file that would be included:

Just thought you might wanna know.

4K remaster. Will have 2.0 Dolby Surround track and an alternate 5.1 track, both DTS-HD MA. 

A shit ton of deleted scenes too apparently (over 20 minutes!), that could make for a nice extended edition.

And some other extras.

I know what I'll be getting in February, heh, along with Jethro Tull's Heavy Horses New Shoes edition. Christmas comes 2 months later for me this time around.

If I can suggest.
Is possible to change background color to maybe in gray?
It can be much easier for the eyes.
For example, over OT colors are perfect.

Anyone else?

I have the original "Quintaphonic" sound mix of Tommy from the Blu-ray, and I want to sync it to the full-screen DVD, which happens to be PAL. Or rather I want to sync the DVD to the sound mix. Who can help me on this one?
