Another movie that is lacking an official blu ray release, just in time for Christmas. I looked at a few different digital versions but went with an Amazon webrip due to quality and framing. I then did some processing in Avisynth, dehaloing, cleaning, slight sharpening etc. A 3D LUT was then applied to reduce the amount of red, due to the CRT nature of the master. Finally the grain pattern was matched from Alien Ressurection in After Effects, which according to imdb was shot on the same negative stock.

In terms of audio there is the English Cinema DTS Track and the Laserdisc PCM (thanks to AC3). The Cinema DTS levels have been adjusted correctly, the 27ms delay has been baked in and all processing was done in Izotope with selective dithering.

Massive thanks to @MrBrown for sourcing the Dutch DVD for me, which has a bunch of exclusive extra features. Also thanks to @Inq81 for testing the audio.

Hello there,

I've been following blah-ray's blog for a long time now. I suppose that's where I learned that neither Criterion nor Arrow's Dekalog Blu-ray was good. Luckily I was able to find a DVD track and the difference was just clear cut.

Anyways, glad to have finally found a forum sharing that same spirit.

Cheers!

I got a 65" Hisense 4K TV at Walmart and hooked it up and i was noticed backlight during dark parts and it looks pretty horrible,
What's the best way to minimize the issue?

Hello everyone!
I am very glad that I discovered this forum. Many great projects

Please thanks and PM for access

NOTE: While exacting bit-perfect accuracy is typically preferred for LD syncs, I prefer to use speed adjustments to keep synchronization. I also insert BD audio to cover reel changes or side breaks when necessary. As well as minor filtering in the form of DC Offset correction, de-humming, and manual declicking (when necessary). 2.0 mono tracks are processed with Voxengo MSED to remove stereo information unless stated otherwise.

Hello all,

Thanks to Captainsolo for telling me about this place - what a great subject for a forum.

I can see I've got a lot to learn - off to the technical sections to try to get my head around some of it.

Anyway, very pleased to be here!

Thought this might be of interest to some of you.

A months-long project is complete as I have finished upscaling all 104 episodes of "The Wild, Wild West" starring Robert Conrad and Ross Martin. This is another series that I believe will never get a proper HD release, so I did it for my own collection. Season 1 is in black and white, all other seasons are in color. 4:3 1440x1080 HD upscale using a combination of broadcast hardware and consumer software. Color seasons have been regraded as well and they look fantastic. I know this is a niche series and will probably have little interest but thought I'd throw it out there if anyone is interested.

Episodes are uncut and sourced from the original DVDs. PM if you own the original set and would like this upscale effort. The entire collection is 212GB. Cheers to all!
