Quotes:
2.0 was a total botch job.
Insane contrast - so much detail missing.
There are many scenes that are still too yellow.
Some scenes just look so weird that I distrust the whole thing.


...
The person who did the scan had this to say about the print:
“I think many people will be surprised that their memory of the film doesn't match what is actually was in the cinema, it had a very blown-out, almost bleach bypass look in many scenes, with white burned out skies and a high contrast look.”


High contrast look - this don't mean that contrast must be pumped that much to insanity?

Maybe someone can fix it...
35mm V2 is released for Christmas 2015.
I think it would be sacrilege to leave it in this shape.
And of course to leave All scratches, dirt, and other damage in.

I'm trying to find the most complete version of Bullet in the head with english subtitles. The dvd I have is only about 125 mintues long. Which release is the most complete and where can I find it? Also is the Fortune Star Blu-Ray any good?

Hello you all,

This is my first post here. I'm sorry if this was discussed already in another thread. If so, please someone point me in the right direction and I'll delete this post. 
I've been using Handbrake to make my mkv files smaller and keep a good quality but I can't seem to understand how the compression in that program works. Here's an example: I added a 12 GB mkv file to Handbrake, compressed the file using x265 and at the end, the resulting file was 1.22 GB! I was like "no way, that's way too compressed, quality is probably shit now". Thing is, I couldn't tell the files apart, the PQ on the 1.22 Gb file was terrific (well, at least in my computer, I'll probably notice the difference when I watch it in a 4K TV).
So I decided to use the exact same settings on another 12 GB mkv file (same size but completely different file). And when the process was over, the file was 5 GB. Ok, not bad, but how come one file results in 1.22 GB and the other in 5 GB if I used the exact same settings and they're the same file size? Btw, the file that resulted in 1.22 GB is a much longer movie. So it doesn't make sense. 

PS: Yes, I'm a complete newbie to this.

Specs were announced during these days... I read something about, and they seem both great consoles.

Even if my kids have PS4, I decided to wait for the PS5, due to the lack of UHD-BD player - that is present in both 9th gen consoles (as well as current Xbox).

So, in a way, it could be a nice deal - a gaming machine with an UHD-BD player included.

Opinions?

Dear Audio experts,

As some of you know, I have a 16mm Retroscan film scanner. I swapped out the 720p camera that came with it and replaced it with a 2K camera, so it captures some pretty good images. However, I'm not happy with the quality of the audio I am getting from AEO Light. So I recently tried capturing the audio using my film projector. That audio does sound much better but needs syncing to the video. Like all film projectors, this one is no longer brand new and judging by the issues I'm experiencing when trying to sync it, I'm guessing that it no longer runs at a constant 24 fps.

Normally, I would sync Audio from a laserdisc or DVD version of the film (that I do know how to do), but this is a TV Print of Airplane! so there are some alternate and extended scenes not in the home video version. Somebody did kindly share a TV Capture of Airplane which I may be able to use as an audio source, but I'm pretty sure this 16mm version is slightly different in at least one or two scenes so I'd really like to be able to use the print audio...

I'm pretty sure After Effects is not the best software for this, but I'll use it to demonstrate the problem:



The top waveform is the AEO Light version, which syncs nicely, but doesn't sound very good at all. The bottom is from the projector. If I match the peaks and valleys at the start of the reel, it drifts out of sync from there. If I use the "Time Stretch" Effect to ensure that both the beginning and the end of the audio matches, it still drifts in the middle...

If anyone would like to play with the audio and video in question, you can download it here:

Airplane R1 Projector.wav is from somebody else's Elmo 16 CL projector.
Airplane R1.wav is from AEO Light (you will probably need to move it forward 26 frames for it to sync with the video)
Airplane R1v2.wav is from my Elmo 16 CL projector (and should be slightly better quality than the other projector)
Airplane R1 Preview.mkv is the video (plus audio from the first projector which I almost, but not quite managed to sync using the time stretch effect to stretch it by 100.908 %).

I'm hoping somebody can advise me on how to sync the audio from my projector (v2) to the video (which software to use and how to go about it) and/or how to get tbetter results from AEO Light. (Unfortunately, the video preview above does not include the soundtrack, but if you need a version that has it, let me know and I'll create a 10 minute sample for you to play with.)

yours hopefully,

Rob.

So how are things in your countries? They've shut down just about everything in Poland and people were panic buying stuff 2 and 3 days ago. It seems to have calmed down a bit, but almost everyone I know who has an office job will be working remotely for at least the next two weeks, including me. The number of cases is rising rapidly, but so far it's nowhere near as bad as in western Europe.

Like its companion film Flesh for Frankenstein, Blood for Dracula has never had a perfect HD release. The Australian Blu Ray is an upscale, the Japanese Blu Ray has optical censoring and the German Blu Ray was extremely limited, contained significant dirt + dust and had lossy audio.

The video source for this project is the German Blu Ray, with filters applied to remove most of the dirt and dust without touching the rest of the picture.

• BD25 with animated menus that look and behave like the official Criterion discs, with a background video, pop up menus and resume function
  
• Video taken from the German Blu Ray with dust and dirt removal
  
• Original chapter stops used on the Criterion DVD
  
• English 1.0 Dolby Digital taken from the German Blu Ray
  
• English 2.0 DTS taken from the Australian Blu Ray
  
• Criterion audio commentary taken from the DVD
  
• English Subtitles
  
• Original Theatrical Trailer
  
• Still Gallery taken from the Criterion DVD

Hello everyone, I'm new one but from some times I love read and watch works from people who can't tolerate bad colors on our lovely movies.

I can't watch new version on BD my favorite movies like Aliens or Blade Runner , I hate teal I'm big DVD collector:

But some time ago I discover versions of some my movies in fullscreen in Laserdisc, it is only LDRip but T2 Special Edition is one of best feelings when I watched (h264, 4 gb). But I wanna ask, if someone can help and rip laserdisc PAL of Predator 1987 in fullscreen???

Greetings

Soon I write more about my feelings about movies.

It's hard to think of any action film from the 80s and 90s that hasn't been lambasted by movie critics. Try finding a good review from a critic for an action movie that isn't Die Hard, ALIENS, Terminator, and some of the more high profile action movies. You'd have a better time trying to find bigfoot. Movies like Timecop, Last Action Hero, Cobra, Tango and Cash, etc. were not received well by movie critics. Even today action classics are described as "cheesy" and "dumb" by reviewers and critics. What are your thoughts? Do you think these movies deserve more respect?
