After an Egyptian Army, commanded by British officers, is destroyed in a battle in the Sudan in the 1880s, the British government is in a quandary. It does not want to commit a British military force to a foreign war, but they have a commitment to protect the Egyptians in Khartoum. They decide to ask General Charles "Chinese" Gordon (Charlton Heston), something of a folk hero in the Sudan, as he had cleared the area of the slave trade, to arrange for the evacuation. Gordon agrees, but also decides to defend the city against the forces of Mohammed Ahmed el Mahdi (Sir Laurence Olivier), "The Expected One", and tries to force the British to commit troops.
Encoding Goals: Source: Use Bluray Rip, 4K if available otherwise 1080p, or highest available source Video: Prefer smallest video encode that doesn't contain distracting artifacting and maintains decent details. Grain: Match to original, though less noise if the original is extremely noisy. Enough to hide artifacting but not distracting. Audio: Perceptually lossless Opus from uncompressed audio track. Or spatial audio if available. Subtitles: Use most complete/accurate subs available. Otherwise generated English subtitles using the highest quality Whisper model, usually only for foreign extras. Commentary: Spoken quality Opus encode if available, 48 kbps. Naming: Should have good media center compatibility (Plex, Jellyfin, etc).
