The Simpsons Movie has always been a weird-looking movie to me because of its strange yellow/green tint that I, and many others, assumed was just an intentional choice to make the movie appear more cinematic. However, with hindsight and knowledge of other home releases with similar tints, I've come to realize that the original home video master was actually just botched. It's a movie from early in the era of digital cinema, only 2 years after DCI was standardized, meaning it was almost certainly completed in DCI-P3, so what seems to have happened is they simply forgot to adjust the white point when bringing it into the realm of Rec.709, leading to the pervasive green tint. Thankfully, because of reference material like the theatrical trailers and a few 35mm scans, it's pretty easy to come to the conclusion that the movie was meant to have a much more neutral tone than the warmer yellow-green tones of its home releases. Thankfully, aside from the base white point error, the movie is graded pretty consistently so doing a white point conversion and white balance to neutralize the whole movie without affecting other intentional tones in things like the night scenes was quite easy.

Sourced from the Blu-ray, and other than colors was left untouched before encoding, so I unfortunately couldn't reduce the BD's sharpening artifacts.

Hi everyone, my name is Christopher.
I'm a longtime fan of rewatching classic films in different formats, with a particular interest in audio.

There's something I'm always chasing, that special feeling I remember from seeing these movies in theaters as a kid, both in picture and sound.
Modern releases don't always capture it, and I find myself drawn to versions that try to preserve or restore that original experience.

I joined this forum to follow the conversations, learn from people who clearly know far more than I do about restoration work, and get access to projects I've been curious about.
Maybe one day I'll have the knowledge and confidence to contribute a project of my own.

Looking forward to being part of the community.

Signing up because I saw a thread for the 1965 version of A Charlie Brown Christmas, which is amazing.

I'm no expert at video editing, color correction, or anything fancy so I probably won't have anything to contribute, but I do some re-muxing for myslef now and then when the newest release of something has a downgrade in the subtitle department, or say when a US anime release didn't get the rights to a theme song.

Hello forum, very long time lurker.

I was inspired to make my first fan edit by other people’s versions of ”The Phantom Menace” using a DVD rip and Womble MPEG Video Wizard. 

Taught myself AVsynth scripting to make better edits. 

My most ambitious edit is a 3D encoded version of the Hobbit Trilogy.

Glad to be hear. Started dabbling in auto overlay if anyone is interested in discussing!

Self proclaimed gregghead very excited to be here

Happy to be here! I make fan edits myself but I'm mostly here for the restorations.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales was officially released in IMAX theaters with an expanded aspect ratio of 1.90:1 (26% more image).
The IMAX version stays in 1.90:1 throughout the entire movie.
Here's the video of the IMAX Version:

I’m looking for any rip of the Laserdisc rip of Airplane (1980), because there have only been 5.1 remixes dvd onward. Synced or unsynced to the 4k, it’s all fine with me.

Special thanks to @izzybell for supplying me with the DTS ISOs.

Title: Speed Racer
Format: Cinema DTS CD
Synced to: 2008 USBD
Source: .AUD, 24fps, 44.1kHz, 16bit, 5.0
Output: DTS-HD Master Audio, 23.976, 48kHz, 24bit,  5.1

PM for a link if interested. Always willing to hear feedback. Will be doing a v2 and UHD sync once that disc is out in May as this is my first time ever dealing with Cinema DTS and I'm not fully confident in how I handled LFE in particular.
