Hi,

I haven't seen the Cartoon Network TV miniseries Over the Garden Wall yet, but I'd like to watch it on HBO Max and get the Blu-ray. I'd like it if someone could rip the original 5.1 audio tracks from HBO Max 1080p web-DLs of the miniseries and sync them to the Blu-ray.

Thanks,
James

Is there a version of Terminator 2 that has the visual look of either VHS or something similar yet is cleaned up enough to look decent on modern hardware?

I expect many will realise what movie my username references. Yes, I'm a big John Carpenter fan, but a big movie fan in general. Movies are a big part of my life. Some would say a little too much!

But finding this forum and seeing some of what you've all been up to, makes me realise how lazy I've become. Generally accepting the lastest version as the one to get, without really properly comparing. Well, not so much more recently because I've been seeing how mistakes and bad choices have been creeping in, making some movies worse and less enjoyable.

Also, it's frustrating how so many movies have been re-mastered for Blu-ray and 4K, some multiple times over the years, but we are still waiting for many movies that are only on DVD.

While I still have quite an extensive DVD collection, most of it is boxed up and not so easy to access at the moment. But I'm wondering what gems I might have, but don't realise.

I've dabbled in a bit of syncing, editing, but only quite basic stuff really. My attempt at an AI upscale of a DVD didn't go so well, but obviously my 9 year old PC with integrated GPU is a major limiting factor! So I plan to upgrade to a much newer spec PC (when possible) and start learning more.

Meanwhile, I hope no one minds if I ask some daft and/or obvious questions here and there.

hello, My name's Max I like old movies and I am happy that all of these people on this forum are dedicated to restoring classic films

Deeply interested in getting in the weeds for figuring out what is the highest quality video/audio that can be found. Looking forward to participating in the community!

Hello there. I've been looking for Laserdisc rips, so I can use them for comparisons on my YouTube channel.

Inspired by Bobsun Dugnutt's "Making of X-Men" and "Making of Spider-Man" fanedits, I plan to make a similar one for Man of Steel. I am looking for these featurettes which were available as retailer exclusives:

The Creation and Destruction of Krypton (6:02)
Clark Discovers the Scout Ship (5:58)
Battle on the Streets of Smallville (5:31)
The Military Might of Man of Steel" (6:15)
Attack on Metropolis (6:51)
The Sonic Landscape of Man of Steel (12:49)
The Iconic Characters of Man of Steel (18:57)

Thanks

I recently got interested in video (and to an extent audio) restoration. 
Have done some basic work using Vapoursynth and Audacity. Hope to learn a lot here.

Here's my widescreen 1.78:1 aspect ratio version of Zack Snyder's Justice League.



The composition of each shot, nearly 3.200 of them, was meticulously redone one by one without introducing in-shot artificial panning as the movie was originally intended to be matted to 1.85:1 anyway. Why not making it 1.85:1, you'll ask me? Well, 1.85:1 and 1.78:1 are very close to each other, plus 1.78:1 fills your 16:9 screen at home and can still be soft matted to 1.85:1 in some players such as VLC and some projectors can add mattes on the top and on the bottom as well. The source used was the UHD. The two discs were glued together, removing the indication that "Justice continues on disc 2", plus a few seconds of black screen were cut out between the two parts so the transition to the title screen of chapter 5 doesn't feel too different compared to the others. The color grading was made in Rec.709 and mimicks the official one as seen on the Blu-ray 1080p. The only liberty taken was the squishing of 8 shots during the Superman/Flash face-off where the VFX mostly already made for the theatrical release probably didn't fill the 1.33:1 AR which lead to a bit of cropping and stretching resulting in weird thin figures for our characters. When aiming for a widescreen aspect ratio, there was no reason not to squish those shots back to more proper proportions.

Here's a trailer I made for the occasion:
