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!

Aw, man.. not even a "If-Then-Else" ? I guess that's alright.

Let me send up a flare to see if I can see anyone: *flare* *cough* "cocoa puffs" *cough* "6,741" *cough* *cough* "Return 0" *cough*

Thats for sure. The Credits are even more important with deadpool, then with most of the other movies... because they are fun as hell...

Deadpool is one of those titles that REQUIRE seamless branching since the titles already set the mood of the whole film

Well, it was just, that it was more catchy to read such things like "Two overpaid idiots" in the oan language. I won't say that sey were in gernerall funnier, but some jokes are caught better in one owns mother-language.

What was so funny about it? You made me curious now ^^I also hate when you can't find the localized versions anymore. It's like for Spider-Man. I swear it was localized in cinemas and on the early TV versions. The ones we have on TV now are poorly localized with bad masks and wrong fonts.

Argh.. Deadpool BD only has english intro texts.. no localized seamles branched. The german localisation was so incredible funny...

"THAT'S IT !!" (says Charlie Brown to Lucy's 5¢ Psychiatric Help)

The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon, meine damen und herren?

No, it's not. I have rarely experienced anything even remoteTORGO'S EXECUTIVE POWDER! ON SALE NOW AT $4.99!

Oh that must be the "High Dynamic Range" now discussed in some other form. (Ever notice how subject matters suddenly pop into the group consciousness en-masse? Very suspicious.)

It's funny how the colours of the real world only seem real when you see them projected on a screen.

He didn't care for it.

Oh, look, there's that fella walking outside who likes to throw rocks on my lawn. Hey, fella! Ya wanna try this suncream!?

Oh yeah perfectly safe, even good for the skin.

Hey, guys? That oily-gooey stuff I got in the mail that follows me around is safe to pet, right?

I thought so too, but now there's a dude at the back of the boss's office, smoking. The dude never says a word. Never. He's like some kind of... person who smokes cigarettes. Perhaps a man of that sort. Like those words, but in a different order.

I love it, great job taas and great episode

Very cool taas007

For whom it may concern: The paper ad for The X-Files episode "X-Cops" looks cool, but very low res..... so I made this: http://i.imgur.com/Dvdv7uO.jpg

Bill is back, time to Kill.......................bonus

Rats! I need a few composite cables.

It's still a thing of beauty.

Only as a collectible. Quality-wise? I'd go with a later (and recommended) model.

In that case, the price should be a lot higher!

Wikipedia lists the Magnavox VH8000 as "the first consumer player".

Seldom will you ever see one of these gas tube beauties in the original box! http://www.ebay.com/itm/MAGNAVOX-VLP-DIS...1859350965

Should've stated "not as much with audio" ... as there's much more to go wrong with the video than with the audio.

Not so much with audio. Check out: http://www.mindspring.com/~laserguru/askjosh.htm ... "below I will provide a rundown of the players considered by collectors to be the cream of the crop", and then check eBay prices.

Presumably that goes for audio capture too.

LD players are NOT like DVD/Blu players. The price/quality of the LD player is directly proportional to your capture quality; while DVD/Blu output is mostly the same regardless of player cost.

Chew is right, that's going to be your best bet

Have you looked on eBay?

Anyone know where I can get an LD player cheap?

@MrBrown I don't own it, perhaps spoRv?

Does anyone know, how the englisch LPCM Stereo Audio on the Italian "The Crow" BD compares to the 5.1 DTS Mix on the US BD?

The Korean Disc just arrived today. Reading the infos on caps-a-holic.com, it seems to feature the same 2.0 audio stream, as the MGM US BD, Dolby Digital 224kbps...

@MrBrown I just got it from a member here, thanks.
