Of a German print

Sometimes you can tell that the black bars on video are separate from the black bars on the print. It makes no sense it would be a conversion from NTSC because it is a German transfer

The German DVD is electronically matted at about 1.55

(And of course in true open matte you can see the frame overlap, which is outside of even the 1.33 aperture I believe

I know that every time it cuts to an animatronic the matte goes away. I've even seen film cells with a splice from open matte to hard matte

OK so it looks like Fantasy II shot their miniature work open matte too?

Film cells being sold on eBay near this out

I think mostly the Stan Winston animatronic shots

The film is partially 1.33 or 1.22 or whatever open matte is

Can't access this at work... what does this page say?

link?

Yeah, on YouTube there is a small clip...

Perhaps we can track it down

Where did you hear about it?

Wow, really?

... Even if strong censored, it was even more open matted, compared to that DVD.

I really would love to have the old Tele 5 airing...

I don't know how the corresponding LD is...

and I can more-or-less just cut it out of the frame and BAM 480 lines

Indeed, but especially cool for me since my goal is to have an open matte NTSC DVD of it

At least it is quite unique...

the active area of the image measures to just about 480 lines high

I think it's 4:3 NTSC shoved into a PAL frame without resizing

That transfer is interesting. I don't think it's really 1.66:1

That may just be it

2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:3

Whoops, I meant Euro pulldown, not 2:2

will play with it more tonight

or perhaps I just can't spot 2:2 when I see it

it's pretty strange to say the least

rather than IVTCing back to progressive and then just flagging it as 25fps or doing 2:2 for 50i

It's almost as if they took the NTSC master with 3:2 pulldown already applied and did an NTSC->PAL conversion as if it were video

there's a "3:2"-like repeating pattern

It's definitely interlaced, but it's not straight 2:2 like most 50i PAL sources

Uhm... Interlacing, maybe?

It's like something on top of NTSC 3:2 pulldown

The combing is out of control and I can't figure out what's up with it

Does anyone know what's up with that 1.66:1 German DVD release of Terminator?

Mhm... I don't know every T2 LD in my Collection... Maybe I already got that...

I think it was the final Laserdisc release (in the US) before DVD, doesn't pop up very often

I do not know, if I have that LD... I think I have more of the old T1 LDs and fewer T2 LDs...

It also has the TriStar Logo before the Carolco Logo. Just wondered if maybe the AC3 had a bit more oomph compared to the DVD. I'll put a bid in if the price doesn't get daft

Mhm.. at least it has a mono track that is not on the DVD...

LDDB.com Link to wich T2 LD?

There's a T2 Laserdisc with AC3 (Live video) on fleabay, is definitely the same track as the DVD?

I say this with all do respect. In his private life, Chuck Berry was kind of a pervert.

Another legend leaves us. Imagine if Marvin had never rung Chuck to tell him about the 'new sound'

NOBODY IS PUKING IN MY LIMITED BARFBAG!!!

But what's more romantic than sharing a barfbag together?

Goddamngermanrailwaycompanywiththefkingdelaysandnotcomingtrains... *ragemode*

They seem to assume, that people watch thus movie alone...

Only one bag?

... Oh and there will be a small paper bag along with the Mediabooks to puke into...

Here is a picture of what's coming to Germany http://www.schnittberichte.com/ticker.php?ID=3463

I was so right with the limited Evil Dead Remake Editions from Germany... 3 different Mediabooks and also that thing that's with the limited Japanese release...

I would love it, thanks iceprick, a Pm would be great

If there are any MEGA links to Song of the South in 1080p as remastered from a film source, may I have them via PM?

PDB, Colek, there actually are MEGA links to the HKR customs out there. I don't think the forum rules allow me to post the link here. I can send a PM.

Or I can upload these to MySpleen in free time, your choice.

PDB, how we are going to do this? These are like 50-100GB per release and I don't know cloud that big. Maybe you'd rather me to burn discs for you and ship thru post?

Colek I'd love to see them being a big HK movie fan

Valeyard, I was talking about the untouched 2D version. I don't care for fake 3D

I have them all on Bluray, I can send you if you'd like.

I've got the Made in Hong Kong VHS just in case the english dub doesn't happen

Never found any of those HKR releases

You should check out Hong Kong Rescue release, it's very good

Drunken Master on Blu Ray in the UK this April.....with the original Cantonese by all accounts as well as the original dub!

Sony in general has been finally licensing to smaller labels titles that basically they can't be bothered to release themselves

Seems as if Sony Germany is starting to realize, that Germany is, even with its Youth Protection Laws, not that small Home Entertainment Market...

So... The extended cut of Evil Dead (2013) is coming to Germany on Home Cinema Media, too. My guess: Limited Packaging ahead!

This has been overseen by Cameron. It will be as untouched as the Terminator/Abyss/Aliens remasters.

You can't convert to 3D AND leave untouched. But they can leave the 2D version untouched if they want to.

So T2 is coming in 3D... Okay... Buuuut will their be a restored/remastered version untouched of any tweaking? I doubt that

@BronzeTitan - they must have taken the BLUE pill!

Pretty cool Valeyard ....

^^^ I liked your "sample" page. Checked your link and found out everyone there IS anonymous! LOL Tried a compare of the scan/Blu/3D snapshots against the scan w/ hue-shift, saturation+, black/white balance, and brightness/contrast+ = https://s30.postimg.cc/9rvpmkgap/JP_comp...lu_3_D.png (non-calibrated monitor).

Valeyard, nice blog, even if a bit empty, of course... waiting for more content!

Not long now till T2 3D. I hope they haven't dumbed down the sound

Starting a new website, because, my evil criminal enterprise can't be contained. Plus I was bored with nothing to do. https://valeyard.net/

Info on the new T2 re-release

John DeLancie does the voice for Discord so he's kinda cool .... LOL

I have been known to watch it with my daughters but the only name I've picked up is crapperjack

I sure as hell didn't know that MLP character like that exists.

I sure as hell didn't know.

That's what i was thinking, i mean how else would one know what Discord is? lol

"""unwillingly"""

....wh... what's uh.... what's goin' on here, guys *backs out of the room slowly*

I'm guessing Jetrell Fo has, like so many of us, been unwillingly exposed to excessive amounts of My Little Pony in order to know that

LOL

I was talking about the app tho - https://discordapp.com/ xD

Discord = My Little Pony character = No Ponies here, LOL.

Why ponies? I don't get ya

Is it just me or does the 'last post' button not work

^No Ponies here ..... please.
