R.I.P. Sean 007 Connery...

Irony is that I ended up watching Name Of The Rose a day ago... R.I.P. Sean Connery
It is also claiming these files are 32 bit. They were definitely originally 16 bit WAVs.
Having a tough time with DTS Parser. When processing DTS WAVs captured from a DTS LD, it is producing a file that is 2x speed. Foobar is claiming the bitrate of this 2x speed files is 2470 kbps. I've been able to use Bronan's bit-perfect test (DTS CD captured as a WAV and put through DTS Parser creating 1235 kbps files). Has anyone had similar issues?
Mr Brown, It's on MS, unlike Bronan's copy it's OAR. Same master as my project (https://forum.fanres.com/thread-2745.htm...ight=conan)
anyone from usa has the possibility to grab the amazonprime version of conan? seems as if amazon prime us streams the Theatrical version.
@LucasGodzilla On the one hand, that's fairly convincing! On the other: pls no
I find it interesting how on the Friday The 13th remaster, it seems there was a minor revisionist attempt to match up the skintones between Kevin Bacon's head and dummy body: https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?go=1&a=0&...62&i=7&l=0
managed to see Bill and Ted at my local Vue last night. there was 6 people including me in there. also booked a ticket for Alien (4K DCP) over Halloween
Extremely upsetting. My local indie is currently open and I have no idea how the hell they are going to survive. Showing Saint Maud, which is an excellent film that nobody is going to see
And Soul moves to Disney+, which means no cinema releases at least until christmas. Cinema is pretty much dead.
Does anybody have both the 4K/UHD and fullscreen US/German Blu-ray releases of THE EVIL DEAD (the original, not the remake)? Curious whether they're in sync or not; looks like there's about 19 seconds extra at the start of the UHD as far as I can tell but apart from that they may be frame-matched, or very very close to being frame-matched
The good side on the "just a beefed up" version is that the downward compatibility is given. not as with the PS3, when they changed the Processor Architecture to a extreme, and for PS4 another Architecture Change that made the Console not backwards compatible. I think if there is a game thats interests me, I might go for it as PS5 version, if a cool limited edition is released that I want, but will still get the console later.
As for the new consoles: Either is just a beefed up version of the current gen. At least that's how I see them at this point. There is no game that I want from the launch titles for 80 bucks. I just test them out and then sell them off or return them and get the money back.
Serenity this is the second time you have asked for something in the shoutbox. Please do not ask again and as pipefan said read the rules.
can someone send me the download link for "Lord of the Rings Trilogy - Open Matte" thanks
I bought my PS3 shortley before that model was discontinued. It was the first fat with 60GB (European Model, sadly) that stil can play some PS2 titles. Later, when I was more days abroard, I got a slim, because the fat was too heavy and bulky.
@MrBrown My launch model PS3 was my SACD player amongst other things but that doesn't really make much difference after it suffers total hardware failure because they used thermal compound so bad that it turned to dust and fried all the ICs...
@MrBrown Yep, if Sony has taught us anything, it's that they cannae be trusted to manufacture a solid, reliable product first time around... they'll fix it for the next revision.
I did not even try. This time I just wait until the revised PS5 in some years, I think.
Took me a 20 frantic mins on the Microsoft Store this morning to get my X order through!
The HP films were archived by their creator spoRv since he felt they were no longer needed. Once something is the archived section it is understood to no longer be available.
@awsmguy145 i am talking about the version in the "Archived" here on this site, with the german dubs, the Fundamental Collection

Actually alleycat is wrong. The BD never had the mono mix. However it's now included on the 4K release. Though only in lossy Dolby
Wasn't aware the mono for Full Metal Jacket was on a previous Blu-ray release.
Full Metal Jacket 4k - just 5.1 on the 4k disc and the blu ray disc is the same as the 2007 disc except they removed the lossy mono audio - so no mono at all
Bummer about the Home Alone remix. Might have to try to find the other Blu-ray or DVD release and sync it before my holiday viewing
Anyone noticed that the Home Alone UHD 5.1 mix sounds different compared to the 5.1 on the previous Blu and DVDs? The 5.1 on those releases have a different sounding center channel and stereo rears, plus a booming LFE. The UHD's 5.1 lacks LFE and the rears are mono surround, which indicates it might be a discrete version of the original Dolby Stereo LRCS mix
@Chewtobacca Also, this is a good ffmpeg build repository https://sourceforge.net/projects/ffmpeg-windows-builds/
If the new cable doesn't work I'd check the RF out socket in case there's a dry solder joint, maybe worth measuring the output voltage to see if it's strong enough. I keep saying this but sign up at lddb, the forum is a goldmine of technical info
@zoidberg It is a Sony MOD-RF1. If this cable doesn't work, I don't know if I have it in me (or my wallet) to try to get my player/RF mod fixed or replaced. I might be "donating" a large amount of AC-3 discs to someone to capture.
Which demodulator are you using @alinskey? A select few needed an adjustment to help lock onto RF signals from varying players
@alinskey: any composite cable should be able to carry the digital signal but a bad cable could be a cause of your problems. It could also be something off with the alignment in your player or the RFmod. The cable sounds like a good place to try first.
@alleycat: none that I'm aware of. The German BD and the HDTV floating around are the same old transfer probably done in the late 90s.
Might be a silly question but is there a particular cable that works better for AC-3 RF demodulator? I've been using a composite cable and getting a lot of issues with the demodulator not "locking" to the single. I've got a digital coax cable coming in the mail. Should I expect better results or is a demod not "locking" something more severe?
Anyone know if there has ever been a decent release of The Ghost And The Darkness? I gather there is a German Blu Ray but understand the transfer is really bad
Sorry I've not been around much lately. I've had so much going on in my work and private life (nothing bad) that I've not had much free time lately. Sorry to everyone who has mentioned and messaged me, I'm not ignoring you, I'll try and respond to you all soon 
I was already excited when I read they made a new adaptation. Trailer has hyped me even more.
I'm very excited at the prospect of seeing in 1.43:1 at the IMAX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJsUQmzHl94
Watched it earlier, been excited about this. Trailer manages to kind of scupper my enthusiasm somewhat by being generic big hollywood blockbuster trailerhouse fare but I have enjoyed everything Denis Villeneuve has done that I've seen (which is most of his films) so I'm still hoping for something good here.
My son won't be happy with that news PDB. They were part way through writing the next series as well.

I read that there exists a DCP in HD by croco films, that was used insome theatres 2008, but the quality is said to be not really well.

When I first read the headline, I felt a similar punch to the gut I felt back in 2008 about Heath Ledger. Just the sudden randomness of a young artist taken at a very specific height.
The article reads: "In 2018, it was discovered that Who Goes There? was actually a shortened version of a longer story that John Campbell Jr. had written, and the Frozen Hell manuscript laid untouched for decades." I'm down!
the best comment regarding the thing 2011 prequel/remake, as in missed opportunity to make something original that expands the story, I've heard on recent Junkfood Cinema podcast: what if the prequel was "a la Sorcerer" story of how each of the men on Outpost 31 came to the job there. Now, that's a pitch!.
Gotta "love" the American sensibilities involving COVID. Keeping my fingers crossed it won't ruin Cinematic Void's 2021 January Giallo 35mm screenings.
That really stinks, @alexp120 ! If it weren't for COVID, I would've seen a Joe Hisaishi/Ghibli concert by now. As it is, it's been postponed to the same time next year. But who knows what'll happen by then?
Bummer! The Royal Albert Hall has postponed these 'film-with-live-orchestra' concerts: Superman and SW:ROTJ with The London Symphony Orchestra. https://www.royalalberthall.com/about-th...postponed/
Anyone else hear about the Beastmaster situation rn? https://twitter.com/DonCoscarelli/status...89441?s=20
