Hello everyone. 
I've recently found out about the wide world of fan edits and am anxious to see the improvements that have been made to some of my favorite, or least favorite, movies. Looking forward to some interesting conversations.

Some real good work going on in the fan restoration scene.
Glad to see people taking up the torch, when the official releases falter.

Keep up the good work!

Hey, guys.

Today, I propose to you "Reservoir Dogs" open matte 1.78:1 regraded to the French Metropolitan 1.33:1 DVD.



It's essentially a regrade to the French "open matte" DVD based on one single correction that worked pretty darn good on the whole film to look close enough to the DVD and with consistency. The following is the one shot used to colormatch the whole thing:



BEFORE/AFTER:







Video sources: 1080p open matte AMZN WEB-DL and French Metropolitan 1.33:1 AR DVD for color reference. It's synced to the UHD.
Audio sources: English PCM 2.0 (Laserdisc), English Dolby TrueHD 5.1 (UHD), English dts HDMA 5.1 (Metropolitan Blu-ray), English Dolby 5.1 (TrueHD core), French PCM 2.0 (French Studio Canal original DVD - Dolby 2.0), French dts HDMA 5.1 (Metropolitan Blu-ray), audio commentary (Metropolitan Blu-ray).
Subtitles: French (Metropolitan Blu-ray), English (UHD), English SDH (UHD), French for commentary (Metropolitan Blu-ray).

AVAILABLE TO REGULAR MEMBERS, THAT MEANS NO NEWBIES, ON DEMAND until July 8, 2025.

They have arrived for peole and rips are about, is there a concensus on if they are better than the BD's

Hello all. Love original mixes and despise atmos remixes! Thank you everyone

Hey, guys.
When using a LUT in DaVinci Resolve, sometimes I get a dark grey shade of black instead of the deep black level of the original master I'm working on. It's rather obvious during credits and fades to black, especially when comparing before and after. So can anybody explain to me how to retain the original master black level while keeping the color correction I applied using a LUT?
Thanks.

Im Dan, im a huge movie buff and a 4k Bluray enthusiast.

Nice to meet you all!

Hi everyone, i am glad to find the board and hope that i have a nice time here with you all.

Greetings
