hi all!!!!

This is my first restoration, so do not go too hard

This is something I did when I noticed there was no official blu-ray for this movie, after watching it on a DVD with very poor quality. Mostly was done just so I can learn for the future, but it has been a valuable experience.

Theatrical Poster upscale:


VIDEO: TVP HDTV Broadcast
AUDIO 1: DVD DTS 5.1 Mix (AC3, Slowed down to 24/1.001, converted to DTS HD-MA)
AUDIO 2: HDTV Stereo Mix (AC3, Slowed down to 24/1.001, Empty 5.1 Channels removed, converted to DTS HD-MA)
SUBTITLES: English, from this website.

What was done:
Logos removed with AVISynth (rm_logo) and Topaz Video Enhance AI
Standards converted to NTSC format (Closer to theatrical; should work on most PAL players)
DVD 5.1 synced to HDTV Stereo
Macro-blocking and combing from fake interlace removed with Video Enhance AI
Film emulation (Filmconvert) to cover AI artifacts and "waxiness" from deblocking

Hi,

I own the US 2-VHS videotape version of Les Miserables (1995) directed by Claude Lelouch, which has never had a DVD or Blu-ray release in the US, just VHS and laser disc releases.

I was wondering if someone has an Amazon DL or web rip of this movie in HD.

I would like the HD version to include DTS-HD MA versions of the Dolby Surround, mono, and Dolby Digital 5.1 AC3 tracks from the US laser disc synced to it, and also include the chapters from the US laser disc.

Thanks!

Another project is finished.

Special thanks to Denis-Carl Robidoux from Youtube. He made a scan of the Ultra Rare Teaser available and I used the trailer title animation from it, which is identical to the trailer one.

Enjoy

I would like to see the Fantastic 4 2005 extended cut on HD. This version has been shown on HBO Max in HD.

Most of the movie will be either from the Hong Kong, Hungary, or Thailand Blu-ray, with the Planetarium with a Kiss scene and for the Reed and Sue walk scene, it will be from the US Blu-Ray, encoded to AVC. The rest of the missing scenes is from either a 1080p HBO Max rip of the Extended Cut or the Extended Cut DVD upscaled using Topaz Video Enhance AI.

Hi! I'm new to the Fanres community.

When Johnny Mnemonic was released in Japan it was as an extended version called JM. This was released on VCD, Laserdisc and DVD but to date there has been no HD release. There are blu ray releases from Japan and Germany that include the extended version but only in SD. 

This project is an attempt to recreate the extended version frame for frame, using the Japanese Blu Ray where possible and upscaled inserts from the DVD extended version. The extended version contains a lot of differences, ranging from some longer scenes (some of which are in Japanese and feature Takashi Kitano) to shots that are only a few frames longer. The color timing is different and it is missing some visual effects and on screen graphics. 

I knew this project was going to be a nightmare due to the number of differences so I approached it in a different way, I took both versions into Premiere and split them into individual shots using scene detect. I would then click on three shots from Version A, making a note of the number of frames in each shot, then click on the same three shots from Version B and compare the number of frames. If the frame numbers matched I used the blu ray, if they didn’t match then that indicated a difference, I would check it and if it was a difference I used the DVD. 

The upscaling of the DVD was done partly with AVIsynth and partly with Topaz. As I mentioned the color timing is completely different so all of the blu ray footage was regraded to match the DVD. This was an absolute nightmare and is probably the worst one I have ever done. I was lucky if one LUT matched two or three shots, sometimes I was doing a LUT per shot. This really tested me! 330 LUTs all in.

I tried to get the LD audio but the only LD that contains it is the Japanese release and that seems to be quite rare, so I could only include the AC3 from the DVD.

It's not perfect, the DVD is not great quality and neither is the blu ray to be honest, the audio is lossy, but overall I think I've done the best I could.

Massive thanks to PDB and Hippie Dalek for testing.

I went through a bunch of my old DVDs and Blurays for original audio mi[/font]xes (or at least I am hoping are) to remux into my current bluray and UHD rips.  I’m assuming the DTS-MA 5.1 on the bluray mixes are based on the original 70mm 6 tracks and Cinema DTS discs so I used them to replace the Atmos tracks on the UHD. I synced these all with MKV delays by eyes and ears so they might be off a little bit. If anyone is interested, PM me. If you do find the sync is off, please let me know the delay difference so I can make the adjustments. Here’s what I have so far.

Here are some DVD mono audio rips I couldn’t get to sync. I assume it’s because of frame difference so it will take more than just a delay to get them going.
