Would anyone happen to have the mono audio of Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) [I-5036], for a possible future project? Thanks so much!

Is it to compensate for the fact that the front 3 speakers are behind the screen? And if so, is the intention that the audience perceives the levels as the same?

If this is true then the accepted wisdom that cinema DTS rips need to have their surround channels attenuated by -3Db for home viewing would be wrong.

It's interesting when looking at home mixes that are close to their theatrical counterparts as some apply the attenuation and some don't.

I’m new! I’ve always been fascinated with film restoration ever since seeing mini features on how the original Star Wars film trilogy was restored back in the early 90s ?

I have a scan of Disney's Robin Hood off a 35mm print if anyone wants the audio from it.  I tried syncing it up to the bluray but the audio drifts. I guess the print used for the scan is missing some frames.

I cleaned and sharpened a bit the image, mostly to get rid of MPEG2 artifacts - dehaloed and cropped out the black borders; hope you will enjoy!

WARNING! It's a temporary file for only one week, so if anybody is interested in keeping this version, please host it in a long term storage like mega or others, and post a link - I will replaced then the temp one; thanks!

I mean subtitules for the Spanish parts only…

Does anyone know what the original credits are? If anyone has the laserdisc…

I guess we need to set some standards here, about audio capture, release, comparison.

There are my guidelines - please let me know if you agree or if not, state reason and alternative.

• if a bit-perfect capture card is available, capture it at 44.1kHz/16bit
  
• if a bit-perfect capture card or digital input is not available, capture it at 48kHz/24bit from analog outputs to avoid second conversion
  

• if captured with a bit-perfect capture card, release as 44.1kHz/16bit is mandatory; a 48kHz/16bit conversion is allowed
  
• if captured through analog outputs, release as 48kHz/16bit
  

• 192kbps → 256kbps
  
• 256kbps → 384kbps
  
• 384kbps → 448kbps
  
• 448kbps → 640kbps
  
• 640kbps → release as DTS or lossless
  
• DD EX → release as DTS-ES or lossless
  

• 192kbps → 384kbps
  
• 384kbps → 640kbps
  
• 448kbps or higher → release as DTS or lossless
  
• 6.1ch or more → release as DTS-ES or lossless
  

• DD/DD+ 448kbps or higher → DTS 1536kbps
  
• DTS 1536kbps → release lossless
  

Halloween II VHS Regrade (Quick Project v1.0)

So I was looking around at some old VHS caps and found one for Halloween 2. After watching and comparing it to the Shout Halloween Collection BD, I was surprised how different the two were in some scenes. There are some dark greens, puncher blues, yellows and red on the VHS that were not there on the Shout BD. Sometimes garish but always interesting.

Now I'm not saying the VHS is theatrically accurate, in fact I doubt it. I'm just viewing it as a fun alternative look to the other BDs.  And while I know there is ther 4K remaster BD and  UHD, I found those transfers very flat and unappealing. Far away from the VHS.

After taking weeks to regrade The Crow (still working on it) and other projects I wondered if I could a regrade a lot faster and with a set deadline (aka Halloween). Basically get it 90% and not sweat the last 10% like I always do. So I revived the nomenclature "Quick Project" as set about a few days ago to see what I could get done. I'm about half way done so far.

For audio I wanted to keep it short to keep the file size down, so no massive list of audio like previous projects.

Hello!

New here but always loved fan restorations.  I've lurked here for a little and decided to finally join.  I also followed the 4k77/4k83 and am of course waiting on 4k80.  Amazing work people are doing!  

Hopefully in time I can contribute as well
