Criterion Fellini Set

(same as all tracks since the DVD)

Criterion 4K Blu-ray see caps

Phenomenal disc, and perhaps the single greatest testament to NexSpec's positive 180 this year. Highlights are beautifully handled and grain structure is fully intact in areas where NexSpec's (and Pixelogic's) encodes would frequently fall apart in 2025 and before then. Criterion BD encode also looks to be robust from linked caps, save for this one frame: https://slow.pics/c/cMjMefmi

Criterion NTSC DVD

The UHD has audible artifacting and sounds metallic.

HD restoration supervised by Peter Davis and Richard Pearce

Criterion and StudioCanal very similar

Carlotta > Criterion >> Curzon encoding

Criterion 4K Blu-ray scheduled for Dec 2026 release

Caps by BR user Donald McDonald. The encode looks absolutely spotless even in the highlights and without Dolby Vision filling anything in.

Criterion 4K Blu-ray/Blu-ray

Criterion is entirely unfiltered and sounds significantly more detailed than previous tracks, see Blah-ray.

> Criterion Blu-ray, much better encoding (caps)
Criterion seems to have done additional adjustment to the original grading

Both France Capricci and Japan Blu-ray are worse than Criterion and BFI.

Criterion Blu-ray

Criterion Blu-ray largely sounds better, but attentuates away some low-frequency ambient noises.
BFI Blu-ray has hum, dropouts, pops, noticable patching and beeping, but has extra low-end detail in a few spots.

Majority of film (theatrical and extended cuts): 1991 Columbia US VHS (or possibly 1994 Columbia LaserDisc?)

32-second scene (extended cut): 1993 Criterion LaserDisc
