But yeah, I guess I'll just put that German LD capture as extra on the disc, because it's gonna be rather impossible to sync that to BD.

that ould be nice...

I can upload it to you on Mega or something.

UK LD uses same intro as HK.

somehow I need to get in touch with that festival cut rip of BitH

seems as if the german LD used the international intro version... I do not know what the UK LD does...

Overall, I feel pretty young in regards to everyone around here (FanRes) and ADC.

It's all nice and in sync, just go to bad on the shot of his back

thats making me older than you.. I am from 1981

And yeah, that German LD is completely some different transfer even - https://youtu.be/S3HJYmWdddA

I am from 1997 myself, but there's bootleg VHS capture on AsianDVDClub from that cut.

ah.. no.. too young for seeing the festival cut..

This is the "mystical" Festival Cut of John Woo's masterpiece; shown in 1990 during a Film Festival in Finland. Unfortunately deemed for too long and therefore never released! Joy Sales / Fortune Star made an attempt of reconstructing this cut with their DVD release. IMHO they failed! Why? They simply re-inserted some of the deleted scenes in to the theatrical cut :thumbsdown:

No, the original festival cut, that one's missing scenes.

the one on the hong kong remastered DVD release with the reinserted scenes in lower quality?

Have you seen festival cut of Bullet in the Head?

Gotta love the censorship, eh?

the german LD was the only "on disc" Version in GErmany containing the singing child choir... all DVDs missing that scene.

No, no, original mono cantonese track from Japanese LD.

Oh wait.

Oh yeah, it's English then.

I asked regarding the non german Versions.. because AFAIK there is no German audio with the original music used,

This only has German dub on the disc.

which soundtrack version are you using.. afaik there are two different music versions with the cantonese and/or english Audio...

I have the German DVD release, If you want to try that... but not before the mentiond "I am home" Day

I think I won't be adding German dub from it into the project, as its missing frames etc.

ugh, that German LD is horror to work with

I am no fanb of downloading stuff... as being from germany, it really could get someone into trouble using Torrent and such stuff...

It's on ADC.

Or you can download it somewhere, I think it's removed from ADC because of stupid rule that forbids uploading Blurays without untouched video stream.

And real HD transfer that has been fixed and color corrected.

It's great release, with reworked subtitles, LD audio and lots of extras.

It's custom release made by fans, look for their Facebook page and you can order through there.

you know where to get the Hong Kong Rescue Hard Boiled? No luck at ebay...

It could be missing, I just started working with it

At least it is not missing complete scenes, as the FSK 16 rated DVD...

Looks like German LD is missing frames through-out whole movie, how nice.

ah.. okay... I have the Taiwan DVD with that version... too bad Bootlegs are quite expensive

Hong Kong Rescue already did Hard Boiled

If you ever do a "Hard Boiled" Project: I have a low quality, burned in subtitled 131 minutes Version...

I would like to put my hands on that Deltamac, as only ones I have are 5.1 Mandarin.

I think I have the Anchor Bay and Deltamac. If you need them I can check

Original HK Laserdisc release apperantly has mono mandarin dub, but it's nearly impossible to get it anywhere nowadays.

Old Deltamac DVD seemed to got Mandarin in Dolby Digital 2.0, but every later release seems to got the 5.1 Dolby...

Only Mandarn in 5.1 on Fortune Star DVD and 6.1 (According to ofdb.de) on Hong Kong BD...

Sure thing, thanks a lot

Could be that I have the japanese BD trilogy box set.. I will check, when I am back at home August 19. give me a PM, so better chance that I do not forget it...

Or maybe mandarin dub in mono on any of discs?

Do you, by any chance, have Japanese BD? I would like to include subtitles from it in my custom.

What's the thing with the Anchor Bay DVD? I do not have it, just have two or three different UK DVDs, the German DVD, the Hong Kong Trilogy Box set... one or two LDs (I think the german, and UK one) and the old BDs...

I just ordered the original BD at yesasia, but if your project is complete, I'd love to lern, how to get it.

And no, I do not have Anchor Bay DVD, could you share it with me?

I uploaded it to AsianDVDClub if you want to download it.

ABT 4K remaster? Where to get it?

I remember I had to convert my copy of PTU from 24 to 23.976

Its not really a standard for BD or HDTVs

Even modern productions on video like Arri and Reds shoot in 23.976

It should be 23.976, the only time you should have true 24fps is with film

Colek, do you have the Anchor Bay DVD of ABT?

@PDB Just wondering, is there anything inherently wrong with 24fps on Blu-ray?

Yeah you are right, I have a bunch of the Fortune Stars

Don't argue with their logic, I mean come on, they sold upscaled DVDs as "HD Blu-ray"

Sweet I'd love to see it when done...but in 2016, ten years into the Bd format, they made a 24fps disc?

And I got English subtitles from one friend at AsianDVDClub, that are even better than Optimum UK ones.

Overall I will be making new Bluray with all the extras, audios, subtitles that I have and I could've found, also the Laserdisc video captures as extra.

Yep, the new 4K remaster.

Are you syncing to the new BD?

And first track is synced, from Herald LD 3 more LDs to go.

By the way, IcePrick, I am RealThunderBolt from the ADC.

Goddamn 24 FPS

Yeah, thanks for the tip, I managed to sync video from the Herald LD to the video from Bluray, frame-frame accurate.

@Colek If it's the remastered A Better Tomorrow BD you're trying to sync to, the video on the BD runs at 24 fps, whereas the LD (probably) runs at 23.976. Therefore, adjusting the speed would be a good idea. There's also probably not the exact same amount of frames in both releases, so some edits here and there will be most likely be necessary.

I can't get any of these tracks synchronized easily, because either somewhere in the middle it will drift off, even though start and end are good

Any tips on syncing Laserdisc audios? https://www.dropbox.com/s/f6gi902tjrw61y...0.png?dl=0

Just watched the movie. My LD is sourced on a theatrical print if that can be of any use.

Good thing I didn't try to buy the Super 8 print I found The Abyss is one sweet movie.

Well for me, Abyss is one of the rare classics I haven't seen But I've always wanted to watch it that's why I was super happy to find it on LD!

I haven't seen many classic movies, somehow there is just never enough time

Good lord guys! How can this be?

Never seen it either

You haven't seen the Abyss yet!! Wow your in for a treat. There is an HDTV cap (newer transfer) somewhere that is the theatrical. Though i really like the Directors cut.

Glad to hear about it! Funny thing is that I haven't seen this movie yet but just found it on laserdisc for like $1 a week ago along with Apocalypse Now

'bout damn time

Could the The Abyss finally be making it's way to BD http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=19501 next year though

Yeah the OT is much improved

thanks for the info, I'll be waiting for an invite or for open registrations... thank you

The OT layout looks so much better now. It was a nice surprise.

From all I've read, BluRG will be no more. Apparently uploaders went to BeyondHD but one needs an invite to be a member there. As a former member of BluRG I was not offered any heads up to the sites closing nor was I offered the courtesy of an invite to BeyondHD. I think it would be wise to let the dust settle before anyone goes looking for an invite. If Vinie is there I'm sure he'll come around and let us know what is happening.

I heard it's closed for good

Someone has any news about BluRG.xyz? The site is shut down?. Thanks any info

@PDB: Gnarly!

Hi. Is Blu Torrent (BluRG.xyz) close for good ? I can't seem to reach the website and their IRC. Does anyone else know what's happening ? Thanks to answer

Sweet, i like the Stranger Things cover. He makes them look so authentic

I love this guy's covers, he just added some new ones: https://www.instagram.com/iamsteelberg/

http://www.ruv.is/frett/sovesk-sveitalog...i-faxafloa A Soviet film print was found in Icelandic waters a few days ago. This news story is not in English, but there are a couple of videos where you can see the film print and the state it's in.

Yeah! August the 6th, I am gonna see "Full Metal Jacket", "Fight Club" and"Army of Darkness" in Delphin Palast, Wolfburg Cinema (okay, will be a digital screening, but this'll gonna be fun!) GErman languaged, and a German Short Movie "Staplerfahrer Klaus" just before AoD

I just remembered something about when I watched The Avengers in 2012. I remember the moment they said "the cellist", I immediately knew who it had to be... and lo and behold AOS episode 1x19... there she was. That was a nice moment.

Maybe someone can make a BD out of HDTV captures. Assuming there are any!
