This is a thread that exists to categorize a bunch of one-off projects I did without creating multiple threads. Simpler projects like upscales, fast regrades, HDR experiments, audio muxes, etc.

Comments are fine but please DO NOT ask where to get these projects because they are already gone.

Alien.1979.US.BD.Upscale.2160p.HDR10.HEVC.LD.PCM.2.0.v1.0

I wanted to gather together all the Alien audio syncs I had into one file in an attempt to "archive" the work into one single place.this is an attempt to preserve the look and colors of the Alien BD transfer by upscaling that.

The BD is upscaled to 2160p resolution and transferred into 2020 colorspace using a P3 monitor and HDR10 graded. The 2020/HDR10 grading is using a new technique I've been trying with my David Fincher projects opposed to the old way I had used before.

Some notes on the audio tracks. This took a long time to do. Longer than I thought it would. In particular, the two analog tracks were nightmares to sync. Talking about ~200 edits each with both being NTSC and not time compressed. The analog tracks were basically the same. I know this because both have one or two additional sounds and one or two sounds missing. Nothing special, all either parts of the hisses or hums of the ship. Nothing you would notice with out direct comparison. The VHS required some patching from the LD to fix bad tracking issues. Only two spots.

I also wanted to sync the "stealth" PCM upgrade P&S LD. Although I have the disc, my LD player is dead. So if you have a copy, I'd love it. Thanks.

Does anyone have a rip of the laserdisc mono track for Mark Lester's cult exploitation pic? 

The Shout/101 Films blu-rays only have 2.0 stereo mixes (likely downmixes dating back to the Anchor Bay DVD). 

Thanx.

Hello everyone,

I'm new here and excited to see what everyone is working on. I've been adding to my library of films since childhood, and have a special affinity for collecting various cuts of films. I've always loved the idea of "complete" versions of films, one of the crown jewels of my collection is a German blu-ray of Dawn of the Dead (1978) Complete Cut, so this forum seems like the place for me.

There are several commentaries for certain movies that are unfortunately on Digital platforms like ITunes.

This thread lists several movies with digital-only commentaries:

I hope someone can rip these commentaries so we can sync them up to the Blu-Ray/4K editions!

Hi, new to this forum.

Hello everyone, I'm from Italy and I'm a fan of yours

The 4K for Cemetery Man has absolutely botched audio tracks with the completely wrong pitch and directional placements x3 cause there's also a downmixed and an atmos upmixed track. Here is the proper english track sync from the UK bluray in DTS-HD MA (Lt Rt). Figured I'd share cause even though it's almost a straight sync there's the credits and 10 minutes in the middle that go off by one frame before going back to normal. -21ms delay required. PM for link.

Hi Everyone,
I was looking for a non mandarin version of Jakie Chan Thunderbolt, there is this one : https://fanrestore.com/thread-5133-post-...l#pid85038, but how to get it ?

Big movie fan, happy I found this site.

I have always found it strange that film studios have so little interest in preserving the original theatrical experiences for their movies. From altered color timing, poorly remixed audio, to the CGI nightmares found in the Star Wars SE, these changes have always bothered me. That is why I am so excited to be a part of this forum. Thank you for having me!
