Has anyone got another VHS recording of the TV cut? Specifically the shop scene as the recording I’ve got at the moment is terrible quality and is blown out. The excellent Ridgeshark was helping me upscale it with the same process he did for his own Jaws edit and my current copy isn't the best. If anyone has a different recording, let me know. 

What's up, everyone. I found this place by searching for Cynthia Rothrock's commentary. I have been rebuilding my Hong Kong Cinema(Martial Arts)movies over the past few months. Lost the majority of my films(physical) during a move. Luckily I had a few backups and iTunes purchases. Seeing the passion and work everyone is doing here is fascinating so why not join. No idea how I will contribute as of now but if I come across any rare Hong Kong film people need I'll let someone know. I post a lot on Twitter on Martial Arts choreography if anyone is there.

Looking forward to chop it up with some of ya here. Peace!

Hi, this is my first post in the forum. These are the digital LaserDisc, English Ocean Studios dub audio tracks for the first 3 Dragon Ball Z movies, and the only LaserDiscs which were released in North America for the franchise: Dead Zone, World's Strongest, and The Tree of Might. These sound better than the lossy DVD tracks. The output tracks are in FLAC, 16bit, 44.1khz, synced with what is imo the best source for the movies as of now: the Japanese Amazon WEB-DL release. Not sure if they sync to the Japanese Blu-rays as well, they might need an initial adjustment. Just PM me and I'll send you a link, I don't ask for anything in return, though I'm trying to collect original movie sound mixes (mostly from LaserDiscs) from as many movies as I can, especially the ones with butchered Blu-ray surround tracks, like Halloween, Jaws, Evil Dead, Terminator, Wizard of Oz, etc. So, if you can share some of that as well, I'd be very thankful.

Anyone here has the german LD of Jaws (Der Weisse Hai)?

The new 4K now includes the mono mix in english and german, but neither are the actual original mixes. Universal couldn't leave their fingers and had to meddle on the mixes.

So to get the actual original mono mix in the best possible quality - the 1st DVD of the movie in Germany had the original german mix, but only in 192kbps AC3 - I'm looking for the LD.

If anyone can help out with the LD, let me know.

Just wondered if anyone had any experience in using one of these with video audio? I've recently come across a blu ray (Corrupt aka Copkiller - Code Red) and the audio is awful, every time there is an S or C sound it distorts massively. I've done some reading up and watched a few youtube videos, plenty of programs that can fix it and I'm planning on giving it a go with Premiere.

However, almost every guide I've read talks about doing it pretty much each S at a time. For a 3 minute audio recording I guess that isn't too bad but for a 100 minute movie it will take forever. Has anyone had any success in using a blanket approach for an entire movie? 

I'm going to try it in Premiere when I get home and see how it goes.

This one is a long short but I don't suppose anyone has this Ruggero Deodato cannibal movie with Italian audio? The Code Red blu ray came with English audio only as did the Region 1 Shriek Show DVD. I managed to get hold of a Dutch DVD that states on the cover it has Italian audio but it only has English!

According to DVD Rewind, the only other issues that contain Italian audio are the Japanese and Scandinavian discs. There is also an Italian disc that isn't listed on DVD rewind. 

Trying to restore the Italian audio to the blu ray. 

Thanks

Does anyone have this on VHS and have the setup to do me a nice capture of the audio? I have captures of all episodes released in NTSC format, but none of the PAL. As this is a PAL exclusive it's the one tape I really need. I own this tape but it's thousands of miles away in storage. I know others with it but no setup to capture with. If you can help give me a PM, thanks.

I'd like to read your opinions what is better

Single Channel Mono or Dual Channel Mono

Obviously SCM has the benefit of a lower file. So is there any real benefit to DCM?

I was wondering if someone ever created isolated tracks for all Superman movies featuring Christopher Reeve. I believe all albums already released are complete, so the work would be to adjust them to match the scenes. When the tracks can't be heard the movie would be silent.

Superman: The Movie (1978) has a music-only track, for the Director's Cut version only (theatrical and TV edits don't have it).

Superman IV: The Quest For Peace (1987) already has an isolated track that was created for a project (from Booshman) that included bits from the japanese laserdisc, the TORNADO and Battle in the U.S.S.R. scenes. I still have this file, a great job.

SUPERMAN II and III and their multiple versions all lack this.

In the past someone uploaded to Youtube the entire Superman IV movie, with the deleted scenes inserted into it, and this isolated score, naming these "The Quest For Score".

The videos were taken down and the channel deleted, so I could never find this again. I managed to save Parts 1-6, 8-10, 12-16, so files 7 and 11 are missing. However the quality was poor, in low resolution. One of the videos can be seen here:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/zODjuzt60wNT/

This is from a deleted scene with the 1st Nuclear Man, that for some unknown reason Warner at 2006 put this goofy soundtrack instead (see below):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14PlrX35uB8

However in 2008 the Blue Box album with music from ALL movies was finally released (remember that Superman II and III only had a few tracks, and IV never had any release until then?), and we discovered, despite the mess this movie was, how good the Alexander Courage music could have been for this scene. 

About this specific scene (watch the Bitchute video): it's from a sequence that showed Clark and Lacy going to the Metro Club and dancing the night away, just before the entrance of the first Nuclear Man, which comprised another deleted sequence. Unfortunately none of the Metro Club scenes were included in the Superman IV special edition DVD or Blu-ray. Maybe they were destroyed or lost. We can only find photos from Christopher Reeve and Mariel Hemingway. 

There's a comic book from Superman IV (I also have this one, it helps explaining how the movie finally makes sense - one of the movie moments show a scene where the 2nd Nuclear Man asks "where is the woman" - this has a whole sequence that was cut, and it's better understood with this DC movie special *) that has a few passages from the Clark and Lacy at the Metro Club - these can be seen in the Bitchute link.

For this unavailable sequence (represented by these comic books screenshots) we listen to another music missing from the main movie, too: Life's Too Dangerous" by Paul Fishman.

So that means, despite that Booshman project I mentioned before (the 90 minute Superman IV - TV edit) I am also interested in a project similar to this "QUEST FOR SCORE" that was never found again.

About Superman II (theatrical, TV edit or Donner Cut) and III (theatrical or TV edit) I don't think anyone created an isolated film score for them. I don't expect Warner to ever do that. I believe it can be done with all the albums already available.

One thing I would like to point out is that Superman II and III first released tracks appear to be a little different (in terms of how they sound) from the Blue Box material and later 'La-La Land Records".

The first Superman II and III albums were of course vinyl/LP and a CD released in Japan in 1990, the latter with both these movies. The issue with the CD and LPs was the fact they only included A FEW TRACKS. A lot more material was missing, until Blue Box came in 2008.

More information about the japanese CD can be found here:
http://soundtrackcollector.com/title/26557/Superman+II

It's identified as Warner-Pioneer WPCP 3860. I have all other albums, except the japanese (only have as MP3, and for third movie) and the vinyl. If someone is going to create an isolated film score for movies II and III this person first needs to compare the japanese CD with what came later:

- Blue Box from Film Score Monthly (2008) and La-La Land (2018)

One of the tracks that I remember to have sound different is The Final Victory from SUPERMAN III (which is named The Struggle Within/The Final Victory in the japanese CD - 2 tracks into 1).

A word of advice: never assume all albums are created equal and that sound the same. They may improve them over time and remaster, but the final result might be worse and/or sound different. And even if they are all the same, they may also sound different from what you actually hear in the movie. That's why you should collect different releases and compare them.

I was wondering if someone ever created isolated tracks for all Back to the Future movies. I believe all albums already released are complete, so the work would be to adjust them to match the scenes. When the tracks can't be heard the movie would be silent.
