  Audio Comparisons
Posted by: bendermac - 2019-09-15, 04:15 PM - Forum: Everything else... - Replies (20)

I didn't know where to put it, so I place it here...

This thread is about audio comparisons for a movie with various audio sources.

Lets start with Spaceballs... The movie received a new master on Amazon Prime and it looks really good. Probably from a new 4K scan. The LD & BD audio sync up nicely with just a delay of -1001ms

I watched the movie with the LD PCM and I don't like it. The voices are bleeding onto all channels and it's very irritating. At first I thought my Dolby processor screwed up, but the 2.0 from the BD doesn't have this problem. The BD 5.1 sounds good, though it's mixed the loudest. The Dolby+ from the WEB-DL sounds similar to the 2.0 from the BD. Much better balanced. All in all I recommend the BD 5.1 and also keep the 2.0 from the BD. Forget the LD PCM due to the bleeding into the surrounds. If it hadn't this problems, I'd give it the recommended audio track.

And here are the comparisons. The BD 5.1 looks like a different movie, but it was the correct file.

  LIST of fake 4k releases
Posted by: Evit - 2019-09-15, 03:07 PM - Forum: Everything else... - Replies (5)

Have you guys seen this list on 4kmedia.org ? https://4kmedia.org/real-or-fake-4k/

Quote:Real Or Fake 4K
Complete list of Ultra-HD Blu-ray films and TV series, and whether they are real 4K (native 2160p) or fake 4k (mastered in 2K or 1080p then upscaled). Keep in mind, age has nothing to do with quality, classics shot on 35mm such as Independence Day, Lawrence of Arabia and Ghostbusters can have the original negative film scanned at up to 6K.

  Was there ever a full trailer for Nightmare on Elm Street 3?
Posted by: bendermac - 2019-09-14, 11:39 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - No Replies

So far only the teaser was released on home video. At least as far as I know.
Hence me wondering if there was a full trailer. Probably only on 35mm, but
who knows.

Anyone got any information?

  Showdown in little Tokyo (1991) - Japan LD PCM
Posted by: bendermac - 2019-09-14, 10:13 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - No Replies

The Japanse LD has the uncut movie on it. The BD itself is only the R-Rated. But we have the uncut version available on PAL DVD. So why not give it the best audio possible Wink

  Does anyone have English subs for the Once Upon a Time in the West Italian DVD?
Posted by: PDB - 2019-09-12, 08:00 PM - Forum: Official and unofficial releases - Replies (3)

I know this is a long shot but does anyone have English subs timed for the old Italian DVD? This one:

https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=4208

For those not in the know this DVD has yet another, now rare, restoration of OUATIW. A restoration that has now been supplemented by the new Italian/Paramount/Scorsese/etc restoration. I was maybe going to do something with the DVD but it would be nice to have English subs for the Italian dialogue...

  The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
Posted by: ilovewaterslides - 2019-09-11, 11:41 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (14)

Hey guys, 

I'm doing a small project restoring the extended home video version of The Muppet Christmas Carol in HD. 
I'm wondering if someone here has the LaserDisc release and would be willing to capture and send me the PCM audio from it? 
The only audio tracks I have right now are presented in 5.1 and I think it'd be nice to add the original stereo mix as well.

Cheers!

  The Lord of the Rings 1978
Posted by: iguanaclerk - 2019-09-11, 05:19 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (14)

The current of release of the Bakshi Lord of the Rings only has a 5.1 remix with the changed narration at the end. I was wondering if anyone ever captured the VHS or laserdisc audio for this one.

  Werner Beinhart (1990) - German LD PCM
Posted by: bendermac - 2019-09-10, 06:42 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (1)

Anyone here has the German LD of this movie?
The movie was finally released on Blu-ray and yet it
only has lossy Dolby 2.0 and DTS-HR 5.1
Would be sweet to use the LD PCM on the BD.

Thanks Smile
