I rozumje dwa procent!

Tylko jeden procent...

Andrea, you speak Polish too?

Hast du eine frosche?

Sorry guys, but who does NOT speak AT LEAST the main five european languages nowadays? I speak quite well in English (I hope so!), je parle Francaise comsi comsa, Verstehen minimal Deutsch, entiendo un poco de Español, parlo perfettamente Italiano (ovviamente), i ja też mówić po polsku (tylko jeden lub dwa procent)

Anyway the Arrow release of The Thing should be pretty sweet, especially if they do a Limited Edition

That is most certainly not what I meant.

So it smells left?

Something doesn't smell right.

Guys let's keep this off topic

We have an off topic section now?

Off topic really earning its keep now.

@MrBrown Sounds more like I should campaign for him to adopt me instead.

@taas007 Your child would speak 5 different european languages, if it would be a [spoRv] release... and it would have a better encode.. so.. better looks...

spoRv should do everything! Well..... not, you know, like EVERYTHING. I would like my first child to be mine but you know.. everything else is fine.

We can only hope so. Maybe without the supposed sharpening. Perhaps we should send spoRv to supervise the grading?

i bet same master as shout but maybe better encoding?

Arrow are releasing John Carpenter's The Thing later this year

This must be what happens when you master HDR correctly.

This is why 4K is a bad idea! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuVT3rK2O3c

Simple, but nice, article about Criterion company: http://oi66.tinypic.com/jtt0fq.jpg http://oi67.tinypic.com/24bneoo.jpg

Omg, Becky, the new Star Wars has a title. *sir begins to mix. A lot.*

spoRv: Which LD? LDDB.com Link?

Just checked, it's 1.33:1 with a little bit more image on bottom, but lose a lot on the sides. Audio is harsh due to disc rot; if I would find another copy, I'll capture audio again.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it doesn't beat the German VCL DVD that is also 1.66:1 with the actual theatrical colour timing

spoRv wasn't that Terminator laserdisc of yours open matte? I have to check it out. By the way, the audio skips sometimes... anytime you fancy ripping it again, Ill be here

That VHS rip is indeed 1.66:1, very bad quality and with hungarian hardsub... useless

IIRC In the VHS you could see the back of the metal ram they used to smash the windscreen behind Arnie's back

Most/all shots with animatronics are open matte. Animation effects are also full-frame, even though they're composited over hard-matted live action. I know this because I saw a trailer projected in 1.33

Opticals FX yes, they are hard matted. Some of the animatronic stuff is full frame though, don't know why

I don't think that FX shots were filmed open matte tbh. They generally use Vistavision for SFX which results as 1.66:1 hard matting once again. I know that some lightnings and other stuff kinda go off frame though.

Has someone the french DVD or BD for Timeline (2003)? If so, please PM me, thanks!

F/X shots were shot open matte

Terminator was actually hard matted to 1.66:1 so you're not going to get a ton of extra picture information.

AFAIK there is none 1.33:1 Open Matted Terminator DVD at all... Too bad companies seem to ignore such oddities from the past, nowadays.

I think most terminator vhs releases were open matte

Yes, it seems a VHS rip, around 1.5GB

If it is the same one I recently saw, than it is not a DVD rip, more like a bad worn out VHS...

Is this a DVDrip spoRv?

It came to my attention an open matte Terminator rip... it's hungarian with hardcoded subs, but if there are no available version elsewhere, could still be of some vaule, I think... opinions?

Incidentally the twilight time 30th anniversary reissue had DTS-HD 2.0 and a high video bitrate but there were pretty bad artifacts throughout

The steelbook was released December but sold out in minutes! 3 month wait for the standard release

Fright Night from eureka is avalible March 27th, i like how they also supply it with pcm 2.0

Has anyone got hold of the latest release of Fright Night from eureka! In the UK? Apparently it's the best encode yet

and online.. there are posters with Bush as "President Evil", Obama as "President Evil"...

http://www.schnittberichte.com/news.php?ID=449 there's also a cover shot on that page..

The Movie "The Tripper" got in Germany the title "President Evil"...

"More menacing than Terminator... more dangerous than Predator... more hairier than Chewbacca.. PRESIDENT EVIL... he will trump over us all!"

THAT'S IT! They're moving 3D 4K production to Leela's sewer-mutant 31st-century Earth facility ... with the same specs of our non-3D 4K TVs!

All this will lead to is ridiculously high prices for older 3D hardware. I can't imagine 3D adds much to the manufacturing cost. Ditching it is as much a dick move as not making it part of the 4K format specs.

I like the sound of steak-vision

Yes. It's being replaced by a mysterious technology called ‎ƐD. It stands for Ɛ dimensional viewing. I wonder what it could be.... steak perhaps? Are we getting steak-vision??

3D dead? /me cries

Never understood the appeal of 3D on a flatscreen. It's got to be huuuge!

@MrBrown nothing in particular, just curious

3D TV death? https://www.cnet.com/news/shambling-corp...-down-dead

searching something in particular?

No one I know about...

Is there a list of captured laserdisc soundtracks?

https://www.facebook.com/cinemaarcadia/p...27/?type=3

Anybody in Milan, Italy for 2001 in 70mm?

Fight Club could be useful for restoration purposes...

I'm pretty sure he has them all ripped via firewire

Really? And is he able to rip'em bit-perfect?

I know someone who has all of the D-Theatre titles

2K?? Well, Timmy.... here we go bank robbin' again. *gets tools*

2K!? At this price I hope it's some interpositive lol

Ouch, not very generous for $2000!

Some generous soul is selling a 35mm print of Fight Club for $2000 on eBay

I think I also have the digital copy, let me check

I have the actual tape

Fight Club (D-Theater): has anybody it, or know where to find it?

Make it Super16 (easy up-rez to 35mm when it's a hit)

Aw man, I wanna do 16mm now!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh HELP

"Made in Georgia!"

Yep, all of The Walking Dead is shot on 16mm to get the look they want. It has resulted in Georgia still having a great film lab.

Yeah

Did I read that right?! They film The Walking Dead on 16mm!?

Today I watche Spaceball on LD... it's incredible how nice a 30yrs old open matte laserdisc could be...

It's good that 70mm is having something of a renaissance as well thanks to Nolan, Tarantino etc. How long for who knows

TWD is still shot on 16mm which is helping keep that format alive too.

Poor old Kodak, they want to ditch film so badly but the public won't have any of it...(sound of smallest violin in the world)

For extra points throw in some scenes from a wedding that randomly keep popping up during the movie. For that extra garage sale after divorce authenticity.

Good news for fans of 35mm film: http://www.kodak.com/us/en/corp/press_ce...efault.htm

So... It is like a preservation of the old experience: watch a movie so worn out, that you might miss some scenes, due to quality issues... I am in...

Going to start FanInv (Fan Involution), where you must degrade as much as possible an HD (or, better, UHD) source, to make it look worse than an old, worn VHS tape. Who's with me?

Whiskey might do the trick too. Although nobody else will see the effect, so... so why not Zoidberg?

There are 'VHS effect' video filters available too by all accounts

I was thinking more along the lines of capturing to pc via composite out

Like record Die Hard over and over on it and then whatever you actually needed?

Actually, if you just re-record over it a bunch of times doesn't it degrade?

Or take it to a sauna with you. Or if you want some heavy damage take a hammer to it and transplant it to an unwrecked case. Or pull the tape out and make sweet sweet lov............. I'm getting carried away.

Seems, as if I need to get a second VHS recorder, to copy to VHS and then dupe it more times, to get it worn out...

@MrBrown I guess if I needed to, I would use the VCR I have to record it on an actual VHS and then capture it, I suppose. But then again perhaps not.

My ps3 has the possibility for composite out....

@MrBrown does your blu ray player have a composite out? You could do some old school futzing

Is there any script to give a BD or DVD a "20 times copied, worn out"-VHS look? Would like to have a "retro" Version for some movies...
