Guys, I need for my project screens from Home Alone 1990 NTSC DVD first edition from 1999:

Hello friends.
I hope everyone is well.
It's nice to see that many people share the same passion.
Regards

Does anyone have a best audio track of Highlander (1986)? Which is the best english audio track? I heard the DVD of Artisan should be the best, right?

Can someone maybe provide me here?

hello!

Does someone know which cut is on the Japanese Laserdisc of Nightmare 6?
Runtime on LDdb shows 90 minutes and there's no note to say it's been cut or edited.

Hopefully someone here who owns the Japanese pressing can confirm this... 👍😎

I still love the colors from my Criterion regrade but the project is now 7 years old is showing its age. It has a few minor problems including and most annoying, an inconsistent black level. So I tried to quickly update this project with the techniques I've learned in the intervening years. I overlaid the original project over the original IC BD and glued on roughly 30% of the original luma to even out the up-and-down levels of the original project. I then did some work with curves, contrast, etc to fix the black level and try to eliminate the flat look of the original. I then added a tiny bit of my CRT LUT, grain and upscaled the whole thing so I could test some 4K encoding and rendering. Not perfect and not as good as a start-over but better then the original. Kind of a testbed for me to figure out some things.

Being a film that was shot mainly on SD camcorder and 16MM film, there's something really authentic and charming about watching THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT on VHS. After revisiting it multiple times over the years on streaming services, DVD and Blu-ray it hasn't been the same experience. Many streaming services have the incorrect aspect ratio, often cropping the video and severely degrading the experience. DVD and Blu-ray also look bad, taking away the rounded corners and fuzzy feeling of the VHS. On top of that, the Blu often looks awful with the color grading looking WAY off and often feels nauseating with all of the artifacting due to it being an upscale of the DVD. If someone is able to get a good scan of the VHS with the rounded corners and sync & add one of the audio tracks from the DVD or Blu (DTS-HD 2.0 track), this could be a really cool project and can create the most authentic and faithful presentation of this horror gem.

Has anyone tried this method? Seeing the sites description, it's understandable that (even on the latest greatest hardware) all the 4/6k upscale processing can take several days if not months depending on the length of the footage. However, just using the motion interpolation parameters and outputting at original resolution with no upscaling would be very useful for correcting field blended sources, not to mention drastically reducing the rendering times.

Hello,

I've happened upon something that could be a base for a very interesting project. It is in HD but it's not the greatest of quality. I'd like to ideally use something like an AI upscaler to bring out whatever quality might be hiding inside (even though such an effort may take a while with my computer)  

I'm aware that upscaling software usually has a few different restoration profiles to choose from. I've never done this before, so could anyone with more experience perhaps lend some advice as to how I should look at these settings so I could choose the most appropriate one for the video I have?

Thanks!
