Just realised I hadn't done this yet!

Just kidding. Hello.

The Thing famously had a minor change made in the original analog home video releases where Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" was replaced by Four Tops' "One Chain Don't Make No Prison". I was wondering if anyone had a capture of this release that I could sync to the Arrow 4K or if a sync was already done for an older project I could use, all my laserdisc sources don't have anything for The Thing. It's minor difference but I like both songs and it would be neat to have.

Is anyone aware of a 35mm preservation of Batman Returns (1992) being out there? I remember seeing a couple of screenshot years back that might have been leaked scans from WB's print, before clean-up and modernized color grade. Those screens still had that deep-blue / boardering purple-ish hues in the shadows.
So I take it there was something out there at some point - open matte or matted.

nice to be here !

Hi

happy to be part of this community who share love of movie and their restoration

The Criterion Collection releases (DVD & LD) of RoboCop are the only releases of the film to be in a "Director-Approved" aspect ratio of 1.66:1. While this claim is dubious as the Arrow's 4K transfer is in 1.85:1 and is also labeled as "Director-Approved", this still marks an interesting release for RoboCop. I used the Criterion DVD video and simply cropped and linearly upscaled the video to 1080p without AI use as the master has a lot of grain already that would get destroyed in an average upscale environment and because my PC is simply not that powerful to do so. While the image is still in standard definition essentially, it no longer exhibits letterboxing. I also decided to sync the Criterion Laserdisc PCM track, the commentary is left as is from the DVD. I may revist this project in the future for a more fully featured update.

Hi ,

i did the subtitles for   " I Am Here "  (2014)   [1080p]

they exist already but it's embedded on 720p TVrip release on YGGtorrent  (with diferents cut) 


it's not work video on a Classic movie but maybe 1 or 2 people might be interested ..

Hi
Audio on this one sounds great but requires lots of work to synch to UHD. Theatrical presentation does not have all the scenes included on dvd. Worth it or has someone already done the heavy lifting? :-)

Hi
Is anyone familiar with this one? I have the .aud files. Worth to synch to UHD?

Ok, it's a 7.0 mix. A bit louder and maybe a bit wider (far field) than the "original" 5.1 audio from UHD.
