  Inside Man (2006) Open Matte
Posted by: Hitcher - 2026-03-09, 05:54 PM - Forum: Released - Replies (5)

A police detective, a bank robber and a high-power broker
enter high-stakes negotiations after the criminal's
brilliant heist spirals into a hostage situation.

Sources:

Starz Open Matte 1080p (main video)
HDTV 400p (logo removal)
BluRay 1080p (DTS audio and AC-3 commentary)
DVD (named chapters)

Workflow:

HDTV was upscaled to 1080p to match the open matte and used when the Starz logo needed removing using a matte.

There were 2 scenes that featured a PSP video game that were filmed only in Cinemascope but were zoomed to fit the height on the open matte so the BluRay was used instead.

The BluRay DTS and AC-3 were added as well the DVD named chapters.
The video was aligned to match the BluRay making it easier to add additional audio tracks.

The Open Matte increases the height without any cutting of the sides.

  Beauty and the Beast (1991) 1994 Japanese LD Box Set Rip?
Posted by: James76 - 2026-03-02, 07:07 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (1)

Has anyone made a rip of the LaserDiscs in the 1994 Japanese LaserDisc box set of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (1991)? If not, I’d like it if someone could do that so I can see how it compares to the transfers of the theatrical and Work-in-Progress cuts on my retail copy of the 2002 2-disc Special Edition DVD set.

Thanks!
