That would make it like "cross" releases like here:

How are they called this "cross" movies?

has the 4k been released (as mentioned) or is there a better 1080p copy on myspleen? i've been putting off re-watching BR2049 for months now because i want to see it in OM with this colour grading 

i have the 1080p x265 encode and it noticeably struggles a bit. i don't want to see it that way unless there's nothing else, it hurts the beautiful cinematography of the film and i think that's a major reason it did well! deakins didn't bake compression artifacts into the film

would've been perfectly content with 1280x720p x264 at that size. even a slightly better x264 encode with more efficient audio compression would've looked far better as the DTS takes up a big chunk of space when it doesn't need to

i did PM beber a while ago asking him if it did get released, but he never sent a reply back. (i don't use any private trackers out of principle..)

Former username was "maksnew" is it?

No, randomnext is not maksnew, two separate people but are friends. What I’d give for a source to become available so random could get rid of the corner blurs completely.

Couldn't you use the full frame 35mm scan?

Didn’t realise there was a 35mm full frame, thought there was only scope, are you talking about 2?. If so, not sure axis etc would be correct or quality enough to work with in auto-overlay, you need to ask random directly.
