Yeah, got 36 German LaserDiscs, and 1 US LaserDisc at eBay... 
nothing real special, but some cool stuff. i.e.: Raiders of the lost Ark with German Title card "Jäger des verlorenen Schatzes"...

But, seriously, adding all these audio tracks helped my projects to be spread over the net, and not only on the English based countries... more languages available, more people that enjoy my projects!
If the BD-50 would cost a penny, and my upload speed would be 10x faster, I think I'll include more languages as well! 
I speak English men jag är uppvuxen i Sverige. Anyone else who speaks Swedish?
But your language skills explain, why you get the multilingual releases that great done, spoRv
German and English, but I have no problems to order DVDs and BDs on French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and so Websites, even if they have no English language option...
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
@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?
Simple, but nice, article about Criterion company: http://oi66.tinypic.com/jtt0fq.jpg http://oi67.tinypic.com/24bneoo.jpg
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!
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.
If it is the same one I recently saw, than it is not a DVD rip, more like a bad worn out VHS...
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..
"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.
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??
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.
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
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...
