I remember I had to convert my copy of PTU from 24 to 23.976
avatar
Its not really a standard for BD or HDTVs
avatar
Even modern productions on video like Arri and Reds shoot in 23.976
avatar
It should be 23.976, the only time you should have true 24fps is with film
avatar
Colek, do you have the Anchor Bay DVD of ABT?
avatar
@PDB Just wondering, is there anything inherently wrong with 24fps on Blu-ray?
avatar
Yeah you are right, I have a bunch of the Fortune Stars
avatar
Don't argue with their logic, I mean come on, they sold upscaled DVDs as "HD Blu-ray"
avatar
Sweet I'd love to see it when done...but in 2016, ten years into the Bd format, they made a 24fps disc?
avatar
And I got English subtitles from one friend at AsianDVDClub, that are even better than Optimum UK ones.
avatar
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.
avatar
Yep, the new 4K remaster.
avatar
Are you syncing to the new BD?
avatar
And first track is synced, from Herald LD Big Grin 3 more LDs to go.
avatar
By the way, IcePrick, I am RealThunderBolt from the ADC.
avatar
Goddamn 24 FPS Big Grin
avatar
Yeah, thanks for the tip, I managed to sync video from the Herald LD to the video from Bluray, frame-frame accurate.
avatar
@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.
avatar
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
avatar
Any tips on syncing Laserdisc audios? Tongue https://www.dropbox.com/s/f6gi902tjrw61y...0.png?dl=0
avatar
Just watched the movie. My LD is sourced on a theatrical print if that can be of any use.
avatar
Good thing I didn't try to buy the Super 8 print I found Wink The Abyss is one sweet movie.
avatar
Well for me, Abyss is one of the rare classics I haven't seen Big Grin But I've always wanted to watch it that's why I was super happy to find it on LD!
avatar
I haven't seen many classic movies, somehow there is just never enough time Smile
avatar
Good lord guys! How can this be?
avatar
Never seen it either Smile
avatar
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.
avatar
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 Smile
avatar
'bout damn time
avatar
Could the The Abyss finally be making it's way to BD http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=19501 next year though
avatar
Yeah the OT is much improved
avatar
thanks for the info, I'll be waiting for an invite or for open registrations... thank you
avatar
The OT layout looks so much better now. It was a nice surprise.
avatar
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.
avatar
I heard it's closed for good
avatar
Someone has any news about BluRG.xyz? The site is shut down?. Thanks any info
avatar
@PDB: Gnarly!
avatar
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
avatar
Sweet, i like the Stranger Things cover. He makes them look so authentic
avatar
I love this guy's covers, he just added some new ones: https://www.instagram.com/iamsteelberg/
avatar
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.
avatar
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 Smile
avatar
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.
avatar
Maybe someone can make a BD out of HDTV captures. Assuming there are any!
avatar
Aw, man.. not even a "If-Then-Else" ? I guess that's alright.
avatar
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*
avatar
Thats for sure. The Credits are even more important with deadpool, then with most of the other movies... because they are fun as hell...
avatar
Deadpool is one of those titles that REQUIRE seamless branching since the titles already set the mood of the whole film
avatar
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.
avatar
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.
avatar
Argh.. Deadpool BD only has english intro texts.. no localized seamles branched. Sad The german localisation was so incredible funny...
avatar
"THAT'S IT !!" (says Charlie Brown to Lucy's 5ยข Psychiatric Help)
avatar
The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon, meine damen und herren?
avatar
No, it's not. I have rarely experienced anything even remoteTORGO'S EXECUTIVE POWDER! ON SALE NOW AT $4.99!
avatar
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.)
avatar
It's funny how the colours of the real world only seem real when you see them projected on a screen.
avatar
He didn't care for it.
avatar
Oh, look, there's that fella walking outside who likes to throw rocks on my lawn. Hey, fella! Ya wanna try this suncream!?
avatar
Oh yeah perfectly safe, even good for the skin. Wink
avatar
Hey, guys? That oily-gooey stuff I got in the mail that follows me around is safe to pet, right?
avatar
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.
avatar
I love it, great job taas and great episode
avatar
Very cool taas007
avatar
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 Wink
avatar
Rats! I need a few composite cables.
avatar
It's still a thing of beauty. Wink
avatar
Only as a collectible. Quality-wise? I'd go with a later (and recommended) model. Smile
avatar
In that case, the price should be a lot higher!
avatar
Wikipedia lists the Magnavox VH8000 as "the first consumer player". Woo
avatar
Seldom will you ever see one of these gas tube beauties in the original box! http://www.ebay.com/itm/MAGNAVOX-VLP-DIS...1859350965
avatar
Should've stated "not as much with audio" ... as there's much more to go wrong with the video than with the audio.
avatar
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.
avatar
Presumably that goes for audio capture too.
avatar
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.
avatar
Chew is right, that's going to be your best bet
avatar
Have you looked on eBay?
avatar
Anyone know where I can get an LD player cheap?
avatar
@MrBrown I don't own it, perhaps spoRv?
avatar
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?
avatar
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...
avatar
@MrBrown I just got it from a member here, thanks.
avatar
@Evit: Maybe I get it next week from an eBay seller from UK... If the postal service don't lose it...
avatar
Ah.. okay.. thanks for the infos...
avatar
Not perfect, but just thought I'd point it out since the Mindbending one is usually $30, and now it's $5. But people would think at first glance that it's the crappier restoration being sold for $5 based on the cover.
avatar
Well, it's a stupid name for sure. It's a better transfer than the previous release and has some extra bonus features.
avatar
and.. what is the mind bending thing about that mindbending edition? remastered?
avatar
avatar
the disc inside still says Mind Bending Edition, though the cover makes it look more like the earlier BD release.
avatar
Interesting note: for anyone who is for whatever reason looking to buy the Total Recall "Mind Bending Edition" blu-ray, they've rebranded it as just 'Total Recall' in the last month or two, and it's now $5 instead of $30.
avatar
Does anyone own the Shout Factory release of Escape From NY?
avatar
Frank, you have a pm. Smile
avatar
What IS blu-torrents?
avatar
@nafroe Thanks!
avatar
For those interested, HDNet is showing Star Trek TMP, TWOK, TSFS, and TFF this morning. I don't know if anyone can capture them or not. TMP started @ 6:00am.
avatar
What's that? Do I need a referral or something?
avatar
I used the same username I had from blu-torrents.net to login. Hope that helps!

avatar
what happened to blu-torrents.net?

You guys might have blown the case wide open!
