If anybody has a rip of the Mono mix from the reissued 4k steelbook of Bridge on the River Kwai, that would be great.

Sony is SOOOO notorious for gatekeeping movies on steelbooks. I hate it.

Would anyone like to see a 35mm Film Scan of the last two reels, 6 & 7, from "Transformers: Dark of the Moon"?

Reel 6 starts with Que giving the troops the Cybertronian weapons, basically the beginning of the War of Chicago. The rest of the film from that point on, from reel 6 to the end of reel 7, is the complete last 42 minutes of the film all the way into the end of the credits.

If I decided to do this project, it wouldn't be posted anywhere online, would only be available for those who potentially helped donate to the project.

At this point, I'm just curious to what the main consensus of doing this one is. I think it's worth it, because of the action, the depth of photoreal imagery, mixed with the vibrant colors. It would be incredible to watch, just as it was presented in theaters.

Looking to see if anyone has captured the above LD for Terminator 2? I know there is a PAL capture out there. Looking for the NTSC. Or equivalent 1:33:1

I own a 35mm print of Hostel 2 and am desperately looking for the DTS iso.

Initially I wanted to try 35mmforum, but for some reason admins won't accept me to join.
Also looking for the DTS Iso of The Devil Wears Prada.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

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!
