Justin Timberlake - What Goes Around... Comes Around (Master Upscale 8K with ALAC audio + 4K version) (updated 2026)

Ok, this will probalby be my last upscale for this video, as I think now it is finally looking perfect (at least for me)
This wouldn't be possible without gbbruck, as he provided me with his encode directly from the master, and his version is corrected for dot crawling and most of the rainbows.

I decided to make two versions of this encode to make your life easir: I truly think the 8K is best, but I also made a downsampled version to 4K. I literally took the final 8K ProRes and converted to 8K HEVC and 4K HEVC in separate files, so the content is identical. So...

Source: Master encode from multiple sources by gbbruck + RCDA audio by me + VOB for the sound effects and dialog (the dialog in uncensored, so we even have "open the f***in' door!", if that's something you're interested in.
