Is there even any hope the video will be half decent at this point?

probably dnr'ed to death since it's a very grainy movie and cameron doesn't like grain. not holding my breath. every older cameron movie on 4k was a let down

No mono was a given, it's upscaled in 4K just like all the others. Putting the mono in there just doesn't fit, it's a thing now for fanrestore.

I don't expect anything decent coming from Cameron anymore. Pictured AI'd and degrained and no mono mix. And he's vocal about it

And the best one overall is the 1995 LD release for both picture and sound quality. Before and after are not that great (between the first LD release in 1985 and 1991 release on the former; 1997 DVD on the latter for inferior of the same mono audio master as the 1995 LD release)

I expect the worst for T1 UHD

Come on guys it's going to be fun ride!

Cameron destroying his own movies since 2017

Any OG Cap artists know wtf this noise interference is? I've got everything through AVR Sinewave UPS (for dirty power).. LD or VHS, changed rooms, cap cards, between laptop/desktop, turned all powered devices off.. its all the same. What the hell is doing this? https://i.imgur.com/GhuzE93.jpeg

tried without the UPS? also maybe try from laptop without power adapter plugged in to confirm theres no ground loop

that is from the UPS

Just got the scan of my "the beach" trailer. Its a 4k wetscan and looks like super8 footage....damn :-(

Not sure where you got that scanned but yikes.

Really, really disappointed. It was scanned at "Berola", Germany

don't insult super8 like that! did you have a talk with them? minus the very obvious issues with the files you received it looks like a good scanner - https://ibb.co/Byqt4xd (super8 4k)

Gonna talk to them tomorrow. Can't imagine that this is the "final" resolution of the trailer. And compression aint good, too :-(

hi everyone just wanted to say that
