  Cinema of the surreal icon David Lynch follows up the success of his critically acclaimed 2001 
  feature Mulholland Drive with this dark mystery, shot on a handheld Sony PD150 digital video 
  recorder. It is the tale of an actress whose personality becomes increasingly fragmented as 
  she delves ever deeper into her work for a high-profile filmmaker. Kingsley (Jeremy Irons) is 
  a director looking to adapt for the screen a Polish gypsy folktale that was previously stalled 
  when the two leads were viciously murdered. Having offered the female lead to devoted actress 
  Nikki (Laura Dern), Kingsley warns her male co-star, Devon (Justin Theroux), to maintain his 
  professional distance, as Nikki's husband (Peter J. Lucas) is known to be notoriously 
  possessive. As the passionate co-stars quickly cross the line and become lovers, Nikki's slowly 
  slipping sense of reality causes her to eventually become lost in her character while the 
  mysterious story of a Polish couple and a trio of giant stage-bound rabbits (voices of Naomi 
  Watts, Scott Coffey, and Laura Harring) lounge around on the sofa and tend to their domestic 
  duties. Shot over the course of two and a half years and without a formalized script, Lynch's 
  hallucinogenic look at a doomed film project features all of the abstract imagery and strange 
  symbolism that have long made the director a favorite of film fans who embrace his disorienting 
  approach to unconventional storytelling.

  The extras are on the second disc of the 2 DVD set. I removed the Calibration section of the 
  menu. I kept only the DD 2.0 track, removing both of the DD 5.1 tracks. More on that below.
  
  PROPER REASON:
  
    SHORT VERSION:
    
    Inland.Empire.LIMITED.READ.NFO.NTSC.DVDR-LSF has a duplicate frame after every 4 frames. 
    This makes the movie play in a jerky stuttery manner, in addition to wasting bits by 
    encoding 25% more frames than necessary, compromising encoder efficiency, and lowering the 
    overall quality. Please see a portion of the LSF sample in the Sample folder for 
    confirmation.
    
    MORE:
    
    Both the retail DVD and the LSF release are this way. But, just as a retail DVD released 
    with hard telecine (already telecined interlaced 29.97fps) will have to be IVTC'd for 
    scene release or risk being propered for interlacing, so should retail DVDs messed up in 
    this way have the duplicate frames removed before the scene release, and bring it back to
    progressive 23.976fps. 
    
    About the audio; Lynch used a cheap $2,500 Sony DSR-PD150 Prosumer digital video camera. 
    It can record only stereo sound, and as near as I've been able to determine, there was no 
    outside audio being recorded. You have to remember that this was a very inexpensively shot 
    film. Therefore, the stereo track is the original audio, and the DD5.1 mixes were created 
    from that, and aren't true DD 5.1 mixes, as found on most Hollywood movies. And therefore 
    the scene rules about always keeping the DD5.1 over the DD2.0 don't apply.
    
    Many thanks to Emerald for allowing us the use of their untouched DVD9 release of this 
    film.
