I joined a couple days ago.
I'm happy to be here! I greatly appreciate fan restorations of media.

Hi everyone. WOuld like to introduce myself. I'm DarkMan_X, big DMX fan. Just here wanting to browse and thank everyone for their hard work with these restorations.

Hi,  

for my favorite old movies, i am looking for image grain, natural colors 

This is why i'm here

Fan edits are so cool, I am excited to join this forum

Has anyone made a rip of the LaserDiscs in the 1994 Japanese LaserDisc box set of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (1991)? If not, I’d like it if someone could do that so I can see how it compares to the transfers of the theatrical and Work-in-Progress cuts on my retail copy of the 2002 2-disc Special Edition DVD set.

Thanks!

i thought i already posted this but apparently it did not lol, i hope everyone is having a good day

somehow just discovered this forum, despite being a massive geek for film restoration. i am crazy excited to help with some of these projects, potentially contribute some of my own. thx for having me.

Posting in the forum so I send a PM in 2 months.

This is a project I've had on the back burner for a while but I've been able to complete recently. It's pretty common knowledge (i think) that the first DVD releases of the Ghostbusters films contained 5.1 tracks that were re-purposings of the films original Dolby Stereo mixes now in discrete 5.1 format. I have acquired copies of these DVDs and synced the 5.1 tracks up to each films' respective 4K master, these should work on just about any release of them (the Mastered in 4K BDs, 2016 UHD, DoVi UHD). Available in 16-bit 48kHz FLAC 5.1, for all forum members new and old

Notes about Ghostbusters II: I sadly was only able to obtain a dupe DVD of this one where the English 5.1 track was reduced to 384kbps instead of the full 448kbps, if anyone here has a full bitrate copy of this track I'll gladly resync. I checked the DD 5.1 Backup track on the UHD and while it did have mono surrounds, After further A/B testing I found that it was just a downmix of the Dolby Atmos track due to the SFXs being synced differently than the Stereo track (also thank Bobby Brown since "On Our Own" was also mixed differently on the Atmos). I was also planning on syncing the Laserdisc stereo but one of the sides of the capture I had was off-balanced, the track only sounded slightly better than the UHD stereo anyways.
