Recently I have been trying to get my files organized at home. That's coming after I lost a lot of files in a HDD crash. As I've been going through some video files I've found some HDTV rips and iTunes downloads that don't corresponded with their Blu-ray counterparts. So my first thought was about preserving and upgrading these files. The problem is a lot of these files are small and have a lot of issues like pixilation, compression artifacts, EE, etc. So end results may vary.
My goal is to clean up as best I can, the digital artifacts, possibly upscale and preserve these files with their existing colors. Maybe adding some audio files I can.
This is (randomly) what I have found in my collection so far that I believe are unique transfers:
2010 (same colors as the DVD, different colors compared to the BD) - Done
20000 Leagues Under The Sea (different transfer compared to the BD?)
Alien (different colors compared to the BD/UHD, probably a 1999 era Japanese transfer)
Aliens (different colors compared to the BD, probably a Quad era transfer, overmatted to 1.77 with more picture)
Bram Stoker's Dracula (different colors compared to the BD)
Dial M for Murder (1.33 Version)
Duel (1.33 Version)
Doc Hollywood (different colors compared to the BD)
Foreign Correspondent (from Criterion but a pre-restoration transfer)
Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (different colors compared to the BD)
From Russia with Love (different colors compared to the BD)
Goldfinger (different colors compared to the BD)
Gunga Din (Not on BD?)
Highlander (a semi-US theatrical cut)
His Girl Friday (different transfer compared to the BD)
Horror of Dracula (different colors compared to the BD? Not sure)
In the Mouth of Madness (different colors compared to the NL BD and I believe the Shout BD) - Done
K2 (Not on BD?)
Krull (same colors as the DVD, different colors compared to the BD)
Lawrence of Arabia (same colors as the DVD, different from the BD/UHD)
Panic Room (2.35 Version) - Done

Saving Private Ryan (different colors compared to the DVD and BD)
