Hey everyone, I love classic Hong Kong cinema and want to see some resto's of such, show me!

Working on a big Blade Runner preservation project that's more on the pirate side so I am sadly not allowed to share the full thing here, much like my T2 project. I do however want to share my syncs of the Laserdisc audio for the Theatrical cuts, both bit-perfect captures.

U.S Theatrical sync is sourced from the 1987 US Laserdisc, I would have liked to get a digital capture from the JP Laserdisc but my source only had the US one. Despite being analog it doesn't sound all too bad, I also checked and yes it does have proper Dolby Stereo matrixing.

International Theatrical sync is sourced from the 1989 Criterion LD [CC1169L], I also had a cap of [CC1120L] and they sounded identically. The sync has +3db gain applied since the original cap was rather quiet sounding.

Both are synced to the Archival Cuts Blu-Ray and are 44.1kHz FLAC 2.0, freely available to all forum members new and old.

The otherwise good Criterion release of Robert Zemeckis’ I Wanna Hold Your Hand (1978) strangely did not include the original mono mix. It only includes the 5.1 surround mix made for the DVD which in typical Universal fashion is laden with intrusive and unnecessary foley and muddy dialogue. 

The original mono mix is available on both USA and Japan laserdisc. There’s a few listings on LDDB for decent prices. 

I’d love if someone out there has it and would be willing to rip it so it can sync it.

Thanks in advance!

Hi!!!

Hi all thanks for having me. This looks like a great community!

Hi everyone, I am working on a very rare Restoration project called "House of Frankenstein 1997". I have captured the entire film from my VHS. This is probably the highest quality of the film that is known possibly and it's being converted with Starlight from Topaz Video AI. Half of Part 1 is completed and it looks like a brand new film. I'm editing the film to color correct and color grade once both parts are converted but the audio needs work. I used Logic pro and I was able to split the stems for the dialogue, sound effect and music for testing. I wanted to see if anyone might be interested helping me on the audio for the 3 hour film. This is an extremely rare film and I think I may be the only person with a high quality copy of the film. I'm not very good with Audio engineering but for video editing I'm very good at. Let me know if anyone would be interested so we can release another rare film to the public in high quality.

Aloha!

Hello everyone,
K8MASN here. I’m new to restoration work, but I’ve done a few personal projects in the past. My main interests are DVD restoration, HDR re-grading, and Dolby Vision grading.
Looking forward to learning from the community and crossing paths with many of you along the way. 

Cheers,
K8MASN
