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

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

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.
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!

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 
Could the The Abyss finally be making it's way to BD http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=19501 next year though
thanks for the info, I'll be waiting for an invite or for open registrations... thank you
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.
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
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.
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...
The german localisation was so incredible funny...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.
Oh, look, there's that fella walking outside who likes to throw rocks on my lawn. Hey, fella! Ya wanna try this suncream!?
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.
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
Only as a collectible. Quality-wise? I'd go with a later (and recommended) model.
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.
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.
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...
@Evit: Maybe I get it next week from an eBay seller from UK... If the postal service don't lose it...
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.
Well, it's a stupid name for sure. It's a better transfer than the previous release and has some extra bonus features.
and.. what is the mind bending thing about that mindbending edition? remastered?
the disc inside still says Mind Bending Edition, though the cover makes it look more like the earlier BD release.
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.
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.
Joker: "That wasn't easy to get over and don't think I didnt try!" Batman: "I know you did!" Yep definitely sounds like fans vs Lucas
