What's happening forum. Usually for these type of things I would conduct my own research but this film has so many disc releases with very similar specs I would really prefer to not waste my disk space and time sifting through them.

I am trying to find the original 5.1 mix for The Fifth Element and so far I've narrowed down the following discs as possibly having it:

1. Laserdisc AC-3
2. Superbit DVD DTS
3. Original/First Remastered Blu-Ray LPCM

I'm tempted to sync the Laserdisc AC-3 and call it a day since that is undoubtedly the most possible candidate due to trends with other AC-3 discs and proximity to release but the possibility of a higher quality lossy or lossless source being available is an enticing one. If anyone of you guys have looked into this yourselves and/or have tips for spotting Theatrical digital surround mixes, let me know. Cheers!

Hi, 
I'm amazed to discover the existence of this wonderful forum!
I would love to be able to share with you the projects that I am also carrying out.
Greetings to everyone

To save my own hide, I must explain why I'm here. Many of the films I love so dearly are stuck on revisionist Blu-rays and DVDs. It's tiring to still watch the same old VHS, DVD, or LaserDisc, knowing the Blu-ray or 4K UHD release is botched beyond belief. I want to watch my favorite movies the way they were originally released. Screw director intent. I like differing cuts of movies, but not at the expense of the original theatrical cut. That is all.

October 4, 1997 brought us an episode of Superman: The Animated Series called “World’s Finest”, where Kevin Conroy and Tim Daly crossover together as Batman and Superman. It was the first time on any DC Comics visual medium since Superfriends that the two iconic heroes would team up.

The full edited version, dubbed thee “The Batman/Superman Movie” was released on VHS on August 18, 1998 and again on April 23, 2002 with the DVD release. However, this never got a full Blu-Ray release from the original camera negatives. So, like other DCAU film-edits, I took it upon myself to work on this HD version. Version 1.0 is prepared! PM me for link!

Superman: The Animated Series first aired on Kids WB! in September 6, 1996. It came out at a time when Superman as we know it was gaining traction on television in the 90s, with this series and Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. This TV movie would be released on VHS four days after its broadcast date and on DVD on February 4, 2004. However, this version never was released on Blu-Ray, which had all the episodes restored from the original negative. Because this contains a couple of scenes that NEVER appeared in the three-parter version.

I’ll keep you all up to date for this new reconstruction! Being a huge fan of Superman (and this series), I think this project should be relatively fun to work on! It helps too that the 20th anniversary of Superman: The Animated Series is coming up. Of course this is not he first DCAU TV movie reconstruction I am doing.

v0.1 is already prepared. Willing to hear any feedback if you all want to PM me to watch it!

I grew up watching the 2001-2004 Justice League series during my teenhood, watching and rewatching many episodes either on Netflix or Blu-Ray. The DCAU has become one of my favorite things ever yet, for the life of me, I cannot fathom the lack of a proper HD release of the DCAU compilations over the years. Especially its three parter pilot, edited into a movie.

This version of the episode was released on DVD on April 23, 2002, not long after the series premiered on November 17, 2001. Not much changes were made between this and the Blu-Ray apart from the titles and a couple animation problems. v1.0 is already finished if anyone wishes to observe.

Hello, everybody!
Very nice forum, very nice bunch of users ;-)
I hope I'll be valuable user.
I'm working on some audio projects currently, I'll keep you posted.

Hi everyone,

I’m Serling. I joined FanRestore mainly because I’ve started working on the restoration of some episodes of The Twilight Zone, particularly the six Season 2 episodes that were originally shot on videotape and therefore never looked as good as the film-based episodes on Blu-ray.

I’m currently experimenting with AI restoration using Topaz Video AI / Starlight, starting with “The Lateness of the Hour.”

I’m interested in restoration and preservation in general, and I’m looking forward to seeing what other members of the community are working on.

Nice to meet you all!

As most Twilight Zone fans know, six episodes from Season 2 were shot on videotape rather than 35mm film:

• The Lateness of the Hour
  
• The Night of the Meek
  
• The Whole Truth
  
• Twenty Two
  
• Static
  
• Long Distance Call
