286 - Divorce Italian Style
 

Divorce Italian Style is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1. Black bars at the top and bottom of the screen are normal for this format. This new high-definition digital transfer was created on a C-Reality Telecine with Oliver Electronic Wet Gate processing from the 35mm original negative. Thousands of instances of dirt, debris, and scratches were removed using the MTI Digital Restoration System. To maintain optimal image quality through the compression process, the picture on this dual-layer DVD-9 was encoded at the highest possible bit rate for the quantity of materials included.

The soundtrack was mastered at 24-bit from the original 35mm optical soundtrack negative and the restored soundtrack, courtesy of Artech Video Record. Audio restoration tools were used to reduce clicks, pops, hiss, and crackle. The Dolby Digital 1.0 signal will be directed to the center channel on 5.1-channel sound systems, but some viewers may prefer to switch to two-channel playback for a wider dispersal of the mono sound.
