ALIENS Special Edition. Source bases are the blu-ray and 4K, and the 35mm scans as the reference for the colour grade. PM me for the link.

Been a minute since I've posted some new syncs but I've really active on other corners of the internet (namely my discord and various TG groups) and I thought I'd make a thread for these syncs. I got inspired to do these because I was informed of some weirdness with the Six-Track mix off CiNEPHiLES' release and found that most of their audio was completely busted. Both of these tracks are synced to the 1998 DVD but will sync to the UHD with a +3993 ms delay. I did this because I know a lot of people like Top Gun in Open Matte and since the two sources are delay syncable why not please both parties.

1. Original Dolby Stereo Mix
Unlike what is commonly reported on this forum and elsewhere. The PCM track on the THX Laserdisc is not the original stereo mix, It is actually more likely a downmix of the AC-3 Six-Track. I had access to a bit-perfect capture of the Pan & Scan LD release and found it was much less blown out and more dynamic sounding than the THX PCM so I believe it is actually the original stereo mix, I checked the DVD stereo too and it is also a Six-Track downmix, though not as blown out as the THX LD. Available in 16/44.1 FLAC 2.0 to all members new and old

2. Original 70mm Six-Track Mix / LD
The 1998 DVD 5.1 track is in fact the Six-Track mix at higher bitrate (448kbps) and with slightly less dynamic compression, so syncing this might seem a little redudant but I found that the LD sounds more refined overall than the DVD despite it's advantages. It's much more maintained in terms of volume and the LFE has the slight edge over the DVD. Either way the copy I used for this sync is correct and not out of wack like CiNEPHiLES' copy so it was worth it in the end. Available in 16/48 DTS-HD MA 5.1 for all members new and old

Hope y'all enjoy and until next time, Peace.

Hello
Just wondering has anyone done Pet Sematary (1989) 35mm Film Scan. It is the scariest movie from my childhood and would love to see film scan version. The Open Matte trailer looks amazing.

Hey everyone,

I happened to stumble upon this page with a Fellowship of the Ring cut that seems to be no longer available called 'The Fellowship of the Ring Variable Aspect Ratio aka Open Matte'
Is there any chance anyone here happens to still have this? Fellowship of the Ring is by miles my favorite film of all time and I would kill to experience it in a slightly different way. 

Or if someone has only the open matte shots for any film in the trilogy I would insert them into the films myself. Any help would be mucho appreciated!

I read the rules so I'm fairly sure this post is allowed, but if this post is not appropriate please let me know or simply delete it mods.

Kind regards,

DK

Hey y'all, 

My name is DK. I came upon this website looking for cool stuff. I'm a faneditor myself and have done a few films, and restoration projects are always a blast. I'm looking to find a LotR version that has a bigger aspect ratio that has been lurking around. Somehow I missed it. Hoping it's not lost forever, but that's life it that's the case.

Will scour these forums looking for more gems. Big fan of the usual suspects such as the 4k77 restorations (althought those might actually get replaced if Disney finally released those damn theatrical films)

I've done a few fanedits for the prequels, LotR and the Hobbit and Spider-man 3. Nothing too fancy, but people tend to like the narrative changes in general.

Thanks for having me!

Hey, guys.

Here it is.
Not much to say. Sourced from the MGM BD and regraded using the italian 35mm print scan floating around as reference. Pretty nice scan, just some magentaish shots here, others a bit greenish there... Needless to say, I balanced the colors while being faithful to the 35mm scan.
Cons: no matter how good the encoding is (and of course my reencode) this is limited by being 8-bit. With such an extreme regrading, chroma noise became much more obvious in some shots.

A big thank you to izzybell for providing the Dolby Stereo 2.0 mix from the Shout BD!
