  Independence Day (1996) 1.78:1 version?
Posted by: SpaceBlackKnight - 2021-11-20, 06:03 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (10)

Was shot in Super35 with most scenes in 1.37 and CG/VFX stuff in varying 1.75 and 2.35 ratios. There was a 4:3 DVD of the theatrical cut fully opened up for most scenes (sometimes revealing things like boom mics and one scene with a rubber alien creature having the operator visible), and cropped for the VFX stuff.

I heard reports of a Russian HDTV airing and Starz having a 1.78 HD version of the theatrical cut up at some point, so the master is known to exist. I checked every digital provider in the US and for both cuts they have ether the 4k UHD master or the previous BD master in OAR. Hell, even the Korean digital places with their varying HDTV masters and free previews have ID4 in OAR or the 4k master. Some other friends of mine checked digital stores in other countries and they're the same.

  D+81 - Star Wars (1977) 1981 Theatrical Re-Release Reconstruction
Posted by: kidjupiter92 - 2021-11-17, 09:16 AM - Forum: In progress - Replies (3)

D+81
[Image: star-wars-d-81-project-logo-black.png]

Project Info
D+81 is a "theatrical in spirit" reconstruction of Star Wars (1977), based on the 1981 Theatrical Re-Release version. This version of the film is the first instance of the "Episode IV - A New Hope" subtitle being attached to the film, inspired by the choice of naming TESB "Episode V". Inspired by the D+/OTD reconstructions, this reconstruction uses the recent 4K transfer as its base and uses TN1's Project 4K77 to undo Special Edition changes.

Video: A combination of Star Wars: A New Hope UHD Blu-ray and TN1's Project 4K77 where needed. D+77 will be used as the color reference for this project.

Audio: TBA

Note: I am not affiliated with nor am I a member of the D+/OTD/TDE teams. I am just a fan of the work they have done with D+77, D+80, OTD83, and ROTJ: The Destiny Edition, and a bit of a completionist when it comes to collecting various cuts of a film. This project is meant to be a companion piece to those releases.

  Is there a lossless (or as close as possible) way to convert from 30 fps to 23.976?
Posted by: Serums - 2021-11-16, 09:34 AM - Forum: Converting, encoding, authoring - Replies (2)

I've got a video running at 30 fps and I'd ideally like to have it running at film speed. What would be the preferred way to do this? Does anyone have a preferred method/tool?

Thanks!

  Legend (1985) - U.S. TV Cut HD Reconstruction
Posted by: kidjupiter92 - 2021-11-15, 06:45 AM - Forum: Released - Replies (5)

LEGEND: U.S. TELEVISION CUT
[Image: legend-tv-cut-fanres-poster.png]
Project Info

Like my recent Explorers: Definitive Cut release, Legend: The U.S. TV Cut is another personal passion project that has a special place in my heart. Ridley Scott's 1985 fantasy film, Legend, was another film I was introduced to in my childhood by my father. I have very fond memories associated with this film, and they have followed me into my late twenties -- and compelled me to do this project. 

Being a fan of Legend since I was a kid, I naturally learned of the various cuts of the film that have existed over years and acquired each cut when I could. There was one cut that had eluded me for years: The U.S. Television Cut. By the time I had started hunting for it Legend wasn't playing on TV much anymore, and I couldn't find any trace of it online to watch. My interest in creating this project would be ignited when I came across a site dedicated to the film and saw various mention the TV Cut; the site even had a complete breakdown of the TV Cut written up! After giving a thorough readthrough of the breakdown, I had in my mind that I was going to recreate this cut to the best of my ability. 

Video: Legend: U.S. TV Cut is reconstructed using the recently restored U.S. Theatrical Cut and Director's Cut of Legend found in the Arrow Video Limited Edition blu-ray set. The reconstruction is presented in the film's original 2.35:1 aspect ratio instead of the 1.33:1 aspect ratio of the original TV Cut. Legend: The U.S. TV Cut clocks in at 95 mins.

Audio:
LPCM: English 2.0 (Mixed down from the new LPCM 5.1 track for this release)
LPCM: English 5.1 (Sourced from the U.S. Theatrical Cut and Director's Cut DTS HD-MA 5.1 tracks out of the Arrow Video LE BD release)
DD+: English 2.0 (Converted and mixed down from LPCM 5.1 track)
DD+: English 5.1 (Converted from the LPCM 5.1 track)

Note: The English LPCM 2.0 track is the default audio track for this, which is the same for the Arrow Video LE release. This is done not only to emulate Arrow's release but to reflect both the theatrical and television releases.

  [Request] Halloween (1978) Criterion Laserdisc Rip
Posted by: kidjupiter92 - 2021-11-14, 08:54 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (7)

Hello!

I'm looking to get my hands on a rip of the Halloween Criterion Collection Laserdisc. I would like to regrade the new Scream Factory transfer using the LD as the main color reference and offer it up as a resource for anyone who wants to preserve and/or recreate the film's Criterion release.

Thanks

  Explorers: Definitive Cut
Posted by: kidjupiter92 - 2021-11-13, 08:35 PM - Forum: Released - Replies (4)

EXPLORERS: DEFINITIVE CUT
[Image: explorers-dc-poster.png]
Project Info

Explorers: Definitive Cut is a personal project that has been dwelling within my heart for many years. I first fell in love with Explorers as a young boy, introduced to it by my father via VHS in the end 90s'. It quickly became one of my favorite movies as a kid and stuck with me throughout the years. After that VHS were tossed away thanks to the rise of DVD, the 2004 Paramount Widescreen Collection DVD came into my life before being replaced by the Warner Archive Collection DVD almost a decade later. I would hold onto that Warner Archive DVD like a great treasure until this year when Shout! Factory announced that they had acquired the rights to release the film on blu-ray.

I was more than excited when I realized that this would be the first time Explorers would be available in HD in the US. I grew even more excited when I found out that the Theatrical Cut, which I had never seen due to Joe Dante creating a shorter cut for home video, was going to be included in the new release. I preordered the blu-ray a month in advance, and couldn't wait to get it. It was Christmas in May when the blu-ray came to me a week before street release. I watched both cuts back-to-back that day, and it reaffirmed why I love the film so much. It would be a month later when I would complete this Definitive Cut, after going back and forth between either or not I really needed to do this. 

I sat on this cut for months, enjoying it for myself before realizing that maybe there were people like me who wanted a complete experience of the film and not have to choose between either cut. And that is why I am sharing this cut with you all now. Please enjoy.

Video: The Classroom Daydream Sequence from the end of the Home Video Cut has been seamlessly reintegrated into the Theatrical Cut to present a more complete version. Explorers: Definitive Cut clocks in at 110 minutes, making it 1 minute longer than the Theatrical Cut and 4 minutes longer than the Home Video Cut. Additional color grading was done to give this cut an HDR look and feel. Both cuts were sourced from the Shout! Factory Shout Select blu-ray release.

Audio:
LPCM: English 5.1 (Sourced from the DTS HD-MA 5.1 audio from both cuts)
LPCM: English 2.0 (Mixed down from the 5.1 track)
Dolby Digital+: English 5.1 (Converted from the LPCM 5.1 track)
Dolby Digital+: English 2.0 (Mixed down from the DD+ 5.1 track)

  IMAX Enhanced on Disney+
Posted by: Hitcher - 2021-11-12, 11:24 AM - Forum: Movies, TV shows and other - Replies (131)

I've only had a very quick look at Iron Man to compare the open matte version with the IMAX Enhanced version and it would seem there's now a need for Hybrid versions.  Rolleyes

The opening title sequence has more info top and bottom on the open matte but the first IMAX scene that has more info on both sides and top & bottom.

Anyone else checked different versions out yet?

PS I tried to take screenshots but I guess the DRM is blocking PrtSc.
