Hi All,
I'm currently about half way through a full regrade of Heat and wondered if anyone can help with the following:
German and Spanish 5.1 Audio - must be sourced from DVDs not blu ray - German DVD for example had both
English 5.1 DTS - Appeared on both Japanese DVDs and the South Korean DVD
Many thanks

When their ship crash-lands on a remote planet,
the marooned passengers soon learn that escaped convict Riddick isn't the only thing they have to fear.
Deadly creatures lurk in the shadows, waiting to attack in the dark,
and the planet is rapidly plunging into the utter blackness of a total eclipse.
With the body count rising, the doomed survivors are forced to turn to Riddick
with his eerie eyes to guide them through the darkness to safety.
With time running out, there's only one rule: Stay in the light.

The Unrated Director´s Cut is 220 sec. longer than the Theatrical Cut (R-rated).
17:39 min. - 18:05 min.
Imam longer explains Fry the religious rites and the march to New Mecca and then shows her his weapon.
length: DC 26 sec. longer.
22:18 min. - 22:23 min.
Shazza looks at the rocks.
length: DC 5 sec. longer.
31:47 min. - 32:25 min.
Fry and Johns have different opinions about Riddick. For Johns, Riddick definitely is the killer who messes around with the group. Fry however wants to pursue his hints and examine the burrow more closely. Here you notice for the first time that Johns is actually an arrogant asshole.
length: DC 38 sec. longer.
39:25 min. - 40:24 min.
The group is worried about the condition of the shuttle. Riddick ironically adds that it would be enough to outstretch the thumb to get off this planet and travel on hitchhiking. To avoid more tensions within the group Johns gives Riddick instructions so he has something to do. After that you see Jack playing with found toys and tools.
length: DC 59 sec. longer.
47:13 min. - 47:48 min.
Conversation between Riddick and Shazza. Shazza gives Riddick a respirator. With that, she wants to apologize to Riddick for the accusations regarding Zeke´s death.
length: DC 35 sec. longer.
48:14 min. - 48:28 min.
In the Theatrical Cut a shot of Riddick, in the DC a scene where he puts on the respirator.
length: 14 sec., DC 12 sec. longer.
55:10 min. - 55:55 min.
Fry doubts if Johns is the proper leader for the group. We get to know that Johns was shot by Riddick and that the bullet still is in his body. That is why he needs the morphine. In the Theatrical Version he is just a junkie.
length: DC 45 sec. longer.

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:
![[Image: poster.png]](https://i.postimg.cc/JnxbkpyS/poster.png)
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
Thumbnails w/ Media Info:

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!

Project Name: Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 UNCUT
Project Info
In 2003, we were introduced to the first half of what made up Quentin Tarantino's fourth feature film project, Kill Bill. Initially conceived and shot as a four-hour epic grindhouse-inspired martial arts film, Tarantino was forced to split this epic film in half. After splitting the epic in Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, Tarantino had to further edit the separated halves in order to gain an R rating from the MPAA. The U.S. and other territories ended up with the censored International Cuts of the films that most are familiar with, while Japan exhibited the original, uncut versions of Vol. 1 & 2.
The unedited Japanese cuts were never officially released in territories outside of Japan, and were only available on Region 2 DVDs that are long since out of print. Using these standard definition Japanese DVDs and the full high definition International Cut BDs, I have begun to reconstruct and remaster the Japanese Cuts in 1080p full high definition. The footage exclusive to the Japanese DVDs have been AI upscaled to 4K using Topaz's Video Enhance AI then downscaled to 1080p to be presented alongside the full HD footage of the blu-rays.
Video: Combination of the Japanese Region 2 DVDs and the US Region A blu-rays from the Tarantino XX box-set. Rendered in true 24fps.
Audio:
Kill Bill Vol. 1 Uncut (v2.0):
LPCM: English 5.1 (NEW 2021 Audio Mix created from 2008 US BD LPCM and 2004 Japanese DVD DTS converted to LPCM)
LPCM: English 2.0 (Stereo Mixdown of LPCM English 5.1 audio track)
Dolby Digital+: English 5.1 (NEW 2021 Audio Mix converted from Original Japanese DVD Mix)
Dolby Digital+: English 2.0 (NEW 2021 stereo mixdown of Dolby Digital+ conversion)
DTS: English 5.1 (Original Japanese DVD Mix)
Dolby Digital: English 5.1 (Original Japanese DVD Mix)
Kill Bill Vol. 2 Uncut (v1.0):
LPCM: English 5.1 (NEW 2021 Audio Mix created from 2008 US BD LPCM and 2004 Japanese DVD DTS converted to LPCM)
LPCM: English 2.0 (Stereo Mixdown of LPCM English 5.1 audio track)
Dolby Digital+: English 5.1 (NEW 2021 Audio Mix converted from Original Japanese DVD Mix)
Dolby Digital+: English 2.0 (NEW 2021 stereo mixdown of Dolby Digital+ conversion)
DTS: English 5.1 (Original Japanese DVD Mix)
Dolby Digital: English 5.1 (Original Japanese DVD Mix)
Sync: Both reconstructions are synced to their respective Japanese Cut DVDs.
Subs: No subtitle files. For Vol. 1, there are hard-coded, reconstructed Tarantino-style subtitles in yellow on black, green on black, and white on black for foreign language dialogue.
Screencaps:
