I'm sharing with you my Work In Progress of 2001: A Space Odyssey, based on a remastered 70mm scan from the original camera negative. Broadcast on NHK BS8K (Japan) and recorded on April 3, 2025, at 1:00:07 PM.

This was the first film in history to be broadcast in 8K, originally released on December 1, 2018, on BS8K. Info: https://amass.jp/112432/

For technical details on the remastering:

The recording was purchased from a seller in China and made with a dedicated PT4K satellite receiver card, the only one on the market capable of recording 8K broadcasts without loss of quality.

My goal is to add as many dubbings and subtitles as possible, including all formats (theatrical, home media, TV, streaming). If you have any such material or technical information that might be useful (audio, subtitles, etc.), please contact me privately, leave a comment, or write to: metahades1889@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/metahades1889

The RAW sample attached above was created by cropping the movie with a python script, it has no quality compression, in short, this is exactly how the complete .ts file looks.

I'll be updating the progress on Telegram and Discord (links above). Once completed, the project will be publicly accessible to everyone. All contributions are welcome: preservationists, archivists, collectors, restorers, remasterers, researchers, language geeks, and fans are invited to participate.

The recording comes with the following specifications:

Video
Length: 2h 29min
Codec: HEVC
Bitrate: 58.5mb/s
Width: 7680 pixels
Height: 4320 pixels
Aspect ratio: 16:9

By the time this project is released, if you want to play it on a computer, you will need at least an RTX 3060 graphics card.

Thanks:

P.S.: West Side Story (1961) and My Fair Lady (1964) were also broadcast in 8K on this channel, based on 70mm scans taken from the original camera negative. I may be able to find past recordings or wait for new broadcasts to capture them and develop similar projects.

Please share with everyone!

Hi all,

Curious - is the 5.1 track from the PSE of Jacob's Ladder different from the DVD/blu-ray? Do we know what the source is? Has anyone archived it?

Yoyo, new to this place, seen some cool restorations which is the reason why I registered.
