I'm as impressed as I am confused. What the hell could the source for this possibly have been if not film? (He says in the description it's a "video transfer"!)

It got a LaserDisc release, but as far as I can tell only one with French subtitles; I suppose it's perfectly conceivable that those could've been removed, given the quality of the upscale, noise removal, and colour correction job. But holy crap, how?!

This is pretty much a load of nonsense whereby Michael has some fun getting Stan Winston to go nuts with makeup effects and the like, but it's exactly the curiosity that I think is important to preserve. I wish I knew what the hell this guy did to achieve results like this.

Hello! Thanks for having me here, I love your forum! I preserve cartoons mostly from raws or old tvrips but I also love movies.

Hi There!   

With the recent release of the surprisingly great and faithful UHD-BD, specially for Disney standards, with original 1.66 aspect ration and studio intro, I'd like to put together a Definitive Edition audio pack with the BD and DVD audio. 

If anyone can provide the DVD 5.1 AC-3 track, preferably from the original THX 1999 DVD.
 
If anyone has the rare Japanese LD PCM track it would be fantastic, but I guess that's too much wishful thinking. I tryied to get ti myself but couldn't even find a single copy for sale.

I'd be glad to try to sync any of the provided tracks and share them in this community.


Thanks a lot!

Hi, I’ve been on the hunt for the extended television cut of Beyond the Poseidon Adventure for a few years and haven’t been able to find it. One person did tell me it was on MySpleen but I don’t have an account. Is there anyone who can help me out with obtaining the file (Google Drive etc)? Any help would he greatly appreciated.

Hi All,

I'm putting the finishing touches on a French movie that has been subtitled into English. A user on another site has done the subtitling for me and they've got 99.99% of it but there were a few words, mainly slang, that they couldn't catch. Is there anyone who speaks French that would be willing to have a look at it? There is only 5 or 6 words missing. 

Many thanks

I noticed a pattern while decoding Dolby Stereo tracks. Many of them seem to "lean left". Aka their left channel seems to often be a few decibel louder than the right one. The result is that in the decoding process, the left channel ends up slightly louder than the right one as well. But more worryingly, this also might affect the correct decoding since the balance between left and right affects what comes through the center channel.

So something that is supposed to come purely through the center channel might end up coming from the center AND left channel, depending on how strong the "lean" is.

What do you guys think the reason for this might be?

I just did a quick google and stumbled over this: https://soundforums.net/community/thread...uder.4646/

Could this be another story like the 16kHz noise coming from monitors during mixing that sound engineers just couldn't hear because they are old farts? Did they maybe do too much DJing with headphones on one ear, resulting in, erm, non-symmetric degradation of their hearing apparatus, thus leading them to wrongly balance Dolby Stereo tracks?

By the way, this applies to both 35mm optical audio and LD tracks at times. With the optical, I tended towards believing that the capture device wasn't properly calibrated but that doesn't explain the LD cases since they are bit-perfect PCM (or should be). Very strange.

I've got some original DTS Cinema Discs available to sync. I'm not sure how they compare to the DTS tracks on LDs, DVDs, or Blu-rays. Just cool to have!


I've ripped the discs in Foobar converting from the original AUD file to FLAC 5.1. If you'd like the AUD files by themselves for whatever reason, let me know.

Hoping someone actually has an original film copy of this trailer who can send me the audio track only.  Would just like something uncompressed to work with rather than what’s on YouTube / Vimeo.

EDIT: Project completed. No need for this now. Thanks for looking, guys.

At least a generation of viewers has experienced Back To The Future in localized form in Germany. There, the movie was called ZURÜCK IN DIE ZUKUNFT and had the following logo.

• Upscaling of the German titles from SD to HD (including "To Be Concluded" and "The End")
  
• Synchronization of German 2.0 LD audio with the HD picture (English 2.0 LD audio is also included)
  
• Upscaling & reinstatement of "To Be Continued" title at the end of Part I (it was in English on the German home video version, so it remains this way)
  
• Creation of location intertitles in English and German (ASS) for the beginning of Parts II+III
  
• Full English & German subtitles; some fixing up was done on the latter.
