Advanced encoding notes for Lord of the Rings (2001)
These notes are primarily used for precision audio sync, XML shift-script recommendations for different sources of the film/series, and notes on any peculiarities with the source material. Please note that these are situational, for example the precision audio sync details are meant for advanced/perfectionist users and not required to encode a decent quality edit.
If you're encoding an edit for the first time it's best to just use the default mp4 export from your NLE program and not mess with trying to get absolutely perfect quality until you're comfortable with the basics of loading, calibrating, and exporting an edit video. However, some Advanced pages list "Shift script values" that may make life easier for beginners trying to calibrate their BluRays.
BluRay DTS-MA Audio
Please note that although the number of scenes used from the two Hobbit films is rather minimal, you DO need the Extended editions due to a handful of discrepancies - scenes missing dialogue or missing entirely from the Theatrical editions - you can't use a shift script with patchframes to adapt the Theatrical edition.
