Hey, guys.

Ever since the Recut & Extended DVD was released, I was frustrated the stories were presented separately as I wanted to experience the extended cut as an actual movie just like the original theatrical release but with the extended parts included. No separate title screens, no individual ending credits, just the movie opening and ending credits.
So that's what I did last night. I used the French Recut and Extended Blu-ray and the Japanese theatrical Blu-ray as they are both in 1.78:1 open matte. So that's the good news.
Now the bad news, and that's where I'm gonna need some help, is I'm not capable to deal with multichannel audio, meaning 5.1 in this case. So I just did that extended cut in PCM stereo for now for both the English track and French dub. Can anybody with the required skill chime in and take part in this project so we can all enjoy Sin City extended cut as a movie in 5.1? I can provide the audio tracks, English and French: I have the theatrical cut English in dts HDMA 5.1 (US Blu-ray), PCM 7.1 (from Nordic dts HDMA 7.1 Blu-ray), dts HDMA 7.1 (French Blu-ray), the French dub in dts HDMA 7.1 (French Blu-ray). As for the extended separate stories, I have those in English dts HDMA 5.1 (US Blu-ray), English dts HDMA 5.1 (French Blu-ray), the French dub in dts HDMA 5.1 (French Blu-ray). So, obviously, we'd have to stick to 5.1 as there is no 7.1 extended parts. Who's willing to help? I'd very much like it to be done in English and for the French track as well. If people from other countries want their dubs to be added, I guess it could be done, too, if they provide the elements or can do the audio editing on their own. Meanwhile, I'll work on the French subtitles for this version.

Hey gang. If you're reading this then you're probably aware that Tom Savini's 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead has finally had a few moments of graphic violence restored for the UHD release.

The opening has also been changed to black & white. Now, Savini has mentioned this idea over the years, but it always supposed to be a gradual transition from B&W to colour during the opening credits. As it is in this release, however, the film smash-cuts to colour right in the middle of a shot. I'm not a fan. The idea is simply too "meta" and kicks down the 4th wall.

I'd like to make my own version that keeps the entire opening in colour. I'd like to make it BDMV compatible, which should be easy enough, except I have no experience in fooling around with DV and Atmos tracks. If it were BD, I'd simply use TSMuxer to do the job as the disc uses seamless branching and it'd be easy to swap out one segment file with another, then remux as one total file built from the relevant playlist.

Unfortunately, that approach won't work here and I'm guessing it's maybe due to the presence of DV and/or Atmos. Does anyone here have any advice on how to tackle this? I'd like to avoid any re-encoding if at all possible.

Cheers!

Hey, guys.

In a not too distant future, I intend to try and regrade the revisionist overly green sequence so that the dialogue makes sense again, as nothing is going green when it's very much green already. Plus the whole scene doesn't match anymore as it cuts back and forth with the inside of the diner where we don't see green through the windows that show the outside.
I just made a color matching test that worked pretty well on this shot:

UHD/German Blu-ray:







Hopefully, it will work on the other shots, too. As for the rest of the movie, I'll just keep it mainly the same as the remaster as it was testified to be a good representation of the print, probably with a bit of tweaking in contrast after the conversion from HDR to SDR. I'll use the European Universal UHD as main source since it's better than the US from Warner, but I may swap the opening so that it retains the US Warner logo to be more like the original, meaning its country of origin.

Hello Everyone, Here the Original Theatrical Mix of the 1994 film Blown Away, taken from the 1997 MGM DVD. This mix is untouched, unlike the 4K UHD BD where they changed some of the music to Cover versions. This is not synced to any of the modern BD and 4K Releases, but i'm sure that it can be easily done. Enjoy!!

I originally tried my hand at editing the Phantom Menace after it came out on DVD decades ago after seeing some other versions online and thinking I could try and fix some stuff that bothered me personally different than what others had done.  Some edits took out all of Jar-Jar, some removed some other things that I liked, and some didn't remove enough for my liking.  

I think I got too ambitious for my computer, and it took too long (or never finished) rendering my changes into a complete version, and I gave up.  I moved on to other things, like family and renovating my house and work and never got back to try editing it again once I upgraded my computer and software to see if I could do what I wanted with it.  However, in the meantime, I just found this site and was interested in edits of other Star Wars films and wanted to know if there was some consensus opinion on who might have made a definitive version of not only the Phantom Menace, but Episodes II and III, and maybe even the original trilogy.  I don't know if anyone has messed with the most recent trilogy, but I don't really like those films at all, so I feel Star Wars starts and ends with the first 6 films.  Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Found this forum while searching for fan edits. This is a great chance to preserve some versions, that producers found to be not mainstream enough

Just found out about this forum. Glad to be part of this group.

Was going down the rabbit hole with some buddies on the Bourne Identity movies and found out this forum existed. Amazing!

Hope everyone is having an excellent Friday (depending on your time zone lol).

Hello there, I'm looking forward to checking out some restorations that are faithful to the originals, since so often they aren't given the proper respect in official releases.

At https://fanrestore.com/user-1825.html , I clicked on "Send HippieDalek a private message."

But then that takes me to https://fanrestore.com/private.php?action=send&uid=1825 , where it says the following:

So how do I send a "private message" to HippieDalek?

My e-mail address is adamt200300@gmail.com  .  (The "200" is "two-hundred."  The "300" is "three-hundred").

Thank you for any help, it is appreciated.
