Hey... It is a Shoutbox... And if a language qualifies for shouting... It is German...

Anyway... I finally got finished using VirtualDub to make a high-quality recording of my 20th Century-Fox Video rental tape of Fistful of Dollars. As soon as I can, I'll put up screenshots from it and the later MGM/UA tape for comparison purposes.
Seriously though, I need not consult my German dictionary just to follow your conversations.

I'm sure you've got a few unique video masters/sound mixes/special features in amongst that job lot! Is there anything unique about the T2 steelbook other than the 7.1 audio?
mostly the HD-DVD and the BD counterparts are very similar.. just almost unnoticable encoding differences...
...and that's a pity, because some of the companies, first on the HD-DVD trian, and later jumped the BD train revised their HD masters with DNR for BD releases...
Yeah, I think one disc replication plant was the culprit, and Warner titles seem to be affected most. Had a Universal combo disc go bad too. The DVD side worked fine though.
I think the Harry Potter may be a problem, I Already have some of them already, that don't work on my external drive... For the price it is worth a shot to take some rotten...
I hope they are all rot free. I've had three HD DVD's go bad on me in the past few years.
Quite a list for sure. I have a small collection of German HD-DVD releases of movies I enjoy.
@crissrudd4554 - I think he just doesn't have a lot of time for Fanres at the moment.
What I do have is a good idea of several of the sources I'll be using for the restoration, at least one of the sources, and a good deal of information to work with when reconstructing certain things.
And I've made some progress on that front, too--I'm still in the process of learning how to use a hex editor to make MPLS files, of course.
Well, I'm kind of new here, having only been on this site for less'n a month, and yet I'm already in the planning stages for my very first restoration project, for Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy.
To be honest, I haven't really heard of Jerry much, if at all. Out of curiosity, what's this latest fuss about him about?
@Jetrell Fo last I heard from him he was rendering a video but that was a few weeks ago
The tits are cropped out in 2.39, they weren't in the cinemas. You need to go 16/9 for T3, or bust.
Frankly, a THX-certified release can look excellent, done right. Titanic in 3D is just one example. I should know, I've seen it myself.
For a lot of aspects I still find T3 being better than T2. T1 of course being the best of all.
At this point, I'm going to go with 21:9 for T3. Sorry, I'm a bit of a prude. 
We got the girl tits in T3 perfect in 16/9 so no need for 4:3. The only value of this film is the tits in the opening credits. Rather than watch the whole film, just loop that shot for 2H and you're good to go.
T3 is supposed to be 2.39:1 but I'm gonna say it looks top notch in 1.78:1
Works well in both aspect ratios. Was meant to be screened at ~1.85:1 in theatres but Bob Zemeckis thought about the whole 1.33:1 framing during the making because he knew the movie was going to be seen a lot on video that's also why the 1.85:1 framing looks a bit "tight". A perfect AR for that movie would be 1.66:1 IMO since it's a good compromise between 1.33:1 and 1.85:1 and it matches the matted 1.66:1 FX shots as well.
Supposing the Dollars Trilogy got THX certifications back when they were overused especially on laser videodiscs? What would be the best scenes to use visually, when showing off to your friends?
The japanese BD is filled with subtitles.. seems as if some kind of international release is ahead... at least subtitle wise the release is very, very international...
Yeah saw that Alien teaser, awesome. There's another one with the end card, this one is cut off. Since this teaser is mostly alternate footage, this is the best we're going to get.
And with German friendly... I specifically meant: it has German audio option and German menu language...
At least it plays fine on my German PS4... And Japan normally is Region A, while Germany is region B... I assume it is at least Region A+B...
I think you'll manage without the sickbag. So the Japanese blu is region free?
Whew! Evil Dead (2013) unrated japanese BD was delivered today... Waiting at my neighbor for me to be fetched...
Aliens teaser trailer on 35mm! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaUXuY3U4Ag LOVE IT!
One other thing regarding the Constantin logo: do make sure the source's bitrate is at least 5.2 Mbps, to ensure the best possible quality.
Another logo I'm looking for for my Dollars Trilogy restoration, for the German versions of each film, is the Constantin Film bringt Sunburst logo. I'll take what I can get, but in this case 1080p and Scope would be quite preferable.
Regarding the Castilian Spanish track for Fistful, which DVD should I get? The one from Impulso/Video Mercury, or the one from Warner Bros.? (For those wondering, I'm aiming for the original mono track, again.)
Hell, yeah! Evil Dead (2013) extended Japan BluRay should arrive upcoming Monday. I am thrilled!
No I cannot change, because it is not my choice... At least the stationary Internet provider is not my choice...
BTW anyone has copies of Robocop on Blu? I'm looking for subtitles, in any language, mostly english or french, for the trailer with the music from Terminator. Anyone can help?
Iknow someone who has the tape, he already did a preserv, however he used the blu-ray track for most of the disc, he just patched it wherever there was a need with the vhs. I think the mix are the same?
Well, whoever happens to have a French-dubbed Fistful of Dollars cassette, please feel free to leave me a PM.
Does anyone have a French-dubbed cassette of the film? Because I couldn't find any on eBay.
Fortunately, there appears to have been a VHS cassette released around the '90s with the French track.
Finding a decent French track for Fistful is going to be very difficult due to rights issues which generally kept it off the market until 2010, meaning the only DVD and Blu-ray releases I know of to have it were remixed.
I buy my cellphones independent from any telecommunication company. So I get the phone I want.
Excellent. A combo of Internet Service at 1gbDL speed + box that record programs in hd (you just hit rec on the selection of forthcoming films and everything is done auto) + phone cell can be as low as 35 bucks a month. It's good to scour the offers and switch, especially on cellphones price.
