the colour grading is diffferent as well https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?go=1&a=0&...95&i=5&l=0

Maybe there is something wrong on the top of the initial scan?

Looks like Warner zoomed in and DNR'd that shot in particular when they made the new master. Why DNR and cropping is anyone's guess, considering they're not well known for that as are Universal.

Anyone aware of the BD transfer fault for Tequila Sunrise during the third act of the film? Check it out compared to the Russian HDTV cap https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?d1=3628&d...=7&l=0&a=1

Good thing: free Wi-Fi in every bar, restaurant and such...

Have a good one MrBrown

Thanks... Sitting in the train to the airport right now... Seems if german train is just 5 minutes late... So it is called punctual for trains...

I miss the original Star Tours.

Have a good time, MrBrown!

so guys.. I am off to some vacations... more than 2 weeks up up and away.. maybe I have internet on my mobile phone to, at least check sometimes in...

The first 2 are new masters, the others are upscaled from the 2K DI with better encoding, but 4 has some terrible (probably HDR related) blow outs

They re not new masters on the 4k potters

It's a guy who does 1080p SDR encodes from some HDR UHD stuff

Any what?

You could try and see if there are any SWTYBLZ encodes

Does anyone know if I can find downscales of the 4K transfers of the Harry Potter films?

Fight Club was an early 5.1EX mix

Had Fight Club a new mix for home theatrical releases? On the German BD with the DTS-ES 6.1 Audio it is explicitly mentioned that it is the original theatrical mix.

at least on eBay someone seems to sell a full screen version https://www.ebay.de/itm/362872596219

Have the Harry Potter movies not been given remastered Blu-rays?

I'm also looking to find a DVD of Breathless, the remake with Richard Gere, where the open matte original 4/3 DVD version is said to feature extra nudity But those don't seem to be available in used stores.

That's interesting. I'm wondering if an IMAX like composite would be possible. I'm going to track down a copy, the P&S DVD goes for pretty cheap.

I'm pretty sure the credits+opening title sequences on the Brosnan films were shot Super 35, so they could be shown in 4:3 without cutting off names or vertically squeezing. Die Another Day allegedly had some sequences shot in Super 35 such as the helicopter shots, and apparently the CG FX shots were rendered in 1.78.

Looks fine to me: https://imgur.com/UdvB16S.png

Mostly on the left side, if I recall. To the point where it just says "OTHER DAY".

When I rented that one a couple years ago, I recall most of the feature being notoriously cropped.

Does anyone has ever bought Die Another Day 007 DVD in full screen? I'm trying to find out if it's open matte, or just cropped. Thank you.

They've predicted everything!

Hah, didn't realize they had predicted Fox would be bought: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ltQ_2by2UY

I'm sure we will find out this has all been predicted in the Simpsons at some point

Despite the fact that it's now the 21st Century?

So they're calling it 20th Century Pictures again?

Disney has zero respect for anything, nothing new

It’s a shame

We aren’t losing the 20th Century part just the Fox part

True but the name Fox from Fox film goes back over a hundred

Not quite over a hundred - 20th Century Fox was created in the '30s with the merger of 20th Century Pictures and Fox Film

Thus ending a studio name more than a hundred years old

Disney is removing the name fox from 20th Century Fox

The original release is pretty bad. I did a quick colour correction on it myself because is looked so bad but I never rendered it out as a final video.

There are 2 versions of Knock Off available in Germany There was a 'remastered' one released recently. Ive not seen it but I read it uses the same master just altered / improved upon.

There is only a german Blu

Love that movie. Tsui Hark rules!

Anyone familiar with the movie Knock Off with Van Damme? Apparently it has no Blu-Ray. At least no Blu-Ray released in the United States. The picure quality is awful. It definitely needs a remaster

@Chewtobacca Thanks.

Once you start participating you can start PMing

Hi MrTroidex. You can’t PM since you are currently at lurker level

Why I can't send pm for anyone?

I also confirm. Team Blu have used the remastered BR for their release. My go-to since then.

@CSchmidlapp yes it was my go to for a while, but tbh I haven't really watched it at home since catching it on 35mm

Oh, sorry. But, where i can get?

@MrTroidex. Hi bud. Have a quick read of the forum rules

Anyone could send me the download link for best version of The Terminator (1984) pm, please?

I am searching for the relevant informations, too. I also thought it was pre-remaster. But I also might be wrong on that. Time is speed-running by.

Is Team blu your go to zoidberg?

The Team Blu version I got was in 2014 so you might be right. Always was under the impression it pre-dated the Remastered BD for some reason! Perhaps Im getting confused with release's. EDIT: Im re reading the team blu threads.

Guys I'm watching the Team Blu and it's definitely based on the remastered blu. Are we talking about the same project?

Although it worth noting that the remasterd (4K) Blu is considered theatrically accurate. Just have to mux the synced mono to it.

Yes the Team Blu release is from an earlier master. My (new) go to version is by Dek Rollins. https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/The-Te...412/page/1

I thought the Team Blu release used the remastered blu ray but with colour correction

Personally I still can say, that IO like the Team Blu release, because it had the mono audio. https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Termin...s/id/17330 but it is really hard to say "it is the best" because the video souce they used got outdated by the newer official BluRay master release.

Hi! Which is the best version of The Terminator (1984)?

@Evit IT'S WHAT IT IS

Has anyone posted this video with clips from Scorsese's The Irishman with the actors' faces "de-aged" with DeepFake? People in the comments are already begging for the whole film done this way https://youtu.be/dyRvbFhknRc

Happy 2020!

Merry Christmas to all of you!

Merry Christmas!

I never said it was unheard of. We're not talking about little tweaks to re-releases or home video releases, with Cats it's a day one patch to fix unfinished VFX

@zoidberg the effect is the same as re-editing, and it's not unheard of. Disney re-animated certain scenes in Aladdin and Lion King for the IMAX releases for example.

Why are the protons streams purple in the new ghostbusters trailer? This bothers me immensely

Wasn't someone murdered on set?!

It'll never replace the 1998 version.

By all accounts it's a hot mess

Slightly reministcent of Sonic, heh. Though those people caught it earlier, thank god. Will be interesting to compare the old and new version.

It hasn't been re-edited, VFX have been re-rendered/altered

What's Cats? The move isn't "unheard of", 35mm films have been re-cut before after release, for example Exorcist II: The Heretic. In fact way back in the day it wasn't uncommon for cinemas to do their own editing to shorten lengthy films by removing the most unnecessary parts. TV does this today, one of my favourite TV shows was shortened by the local broadcaster to better fit the 1hr time slot, I was not happy.

PM me for more details

So what'll I owe you?

I don't think there'll be too much of a problem there; it's in very good condition.

I could, Frank. Depending on the state of the LP, can't guarantee the best quality of course.

So you'll be able to do it for me?

It would probably be easier and less expensive indeed Here's an example of my gear in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJT0NETbVsY

Uh... couldn't I just send it to someone for them to record?

Ideally an used Technics direct driven turntable from the early '80s with an S shaped tonearm, a VM540ML cartridge for optimal results, any big brand amp from the '80s uses a very good preamp and will output a nice flat sound. The new BS they sell you with so called lamps and what not are coloring the sound and you don't want that for capturing. A simple Focusrite intrface will get the job done. Finally, clean your record or get it ceaned ultrasonically from a local record store if possible.

Which ones should I get?

@FrankT The simplest way is a USB turntable, but the quality will be nothing much. Best way: Get a good turntable, good needle, good phono preamp and a good audio interface, then record.

I want to transfer an LP vinyl to digital. What's the best way to do that?
