This is from the first US laserdisc which features the song "Signifying Rapper" by Schooly D prominently in the soundtrack. This song was removed from all later versions. 

Today I had an intuition, à la House M.D.!



Why not producing a "better" version of Titanic? As an image worth more than thousand words... top BD 3D, bottom UAR:

UAR pros:

• 2006 master - pre-2012 with no digital corrections
  
• "original" image - no 3D postproduction at all
  
• better colors - closer to theatrical one, and no teal&orange palette
  
• bigger frame size in open matte shots - usually on three sides
  
• bigger frame size in widescreen or UAR shots - where BD 3D open matte is cropped
  

• lower resolution (even if image seems crispier somehow)
  
• slight magenta blanket (easily solvable)
  
• few shots must be replaced with regraded BD 3D ones, due to fades in/out placed for TV spots
  
• blown highlights
  
• faint TV logo (1 HD) remains on top right (if another open matte version would be spotted, it could be fixed)
  

Hey everyone, just asking if anyone has A Charlie Brown Christmas on LD or has it captured. LDDB seems to have only one version listed, so that must be all there is.

I did a little project with this for myself (a hybrid of the BD release and the 16mm copy that went around), and I was thinking about doing an improved version to maybe share online, and I'd like to use LD audio for this rather than downmixing the BD mix to mono.

EDIT: Even if anyone has a decent quality VHS capture, that would be fine (I only have this on DVD and Blu-ray). Analog audio might even match 16mm audio inserts better anyway.

This is just the four sides of the film, none of the extras. 

Die Hard 2 UHD Downconvert and Regrade (Quick Project v1.0)


Project Info

Are you ready to watch the best action film set at Christmas with the words Die Hard in the title? That would be the original Die Hard. Watch that (maybe Zoid's project?). But after that, if you have the time, watch Die Hard 2.

Previously I had toyed with a DH2 project in this thread:

https://fanrestore.com/thread-1711.html

but I was never satisfied with the results that I came up with. Especially after figuring out the 35mm trailer didn't look like the 35mm prints. After giving up on that 35mm project I still wanted to revisit this movie. Fast forward to the UHD Web-DL (thanks X5) release which as near as I can tell is closer to what theatrical prints (using the info I gathered from the 35mm project) looked like then the BD. So considered this the replacement for that 35mm project.

This project is a simple effort to converted the UHD to 1080p/SDR and color grade the results to the 35mm examples I have (little more orange in the mids, more green/blue in the highs). It also comes with a few minor tweaks: I matted out one instance of a hard subs and put the English hard subs for the Spanish language section back in the video.

After that I merged the audio track from my 35mm project: the Japanese LD's PCM (thanks Zoidberg), US THX LD's PCM 2.0, the DVD's Dolby Digital 5.1 and the BD soundtracks to the resulting video.

Video:
The web-DL/UHD/HDR video release converted to 1080p/SDR and color graded

Audio: (Tentative)
1. PCM 2.0 (from the THX LD)
2. PCM 2.0 (from the Japanese P&S LD)
3. Dolby Digital 2.0 (from the US BD)
4. DTS-HD MA 5.1 (from the US BD)
5. Dolby Digital 2.0 Commentary

Subs:
1. English (from the US BD)

Sync:
This project is synced to the US (and international) BD. Since the BD uses an incorrect, longer, more modern 20th Century Fox logo there is a moment of black in the beginning of the video.

Collaborators (in order of help):
Bigrob: for project idea
Zoidberg: for capping the JPN P&S LD and PCM 2.0
X5gb: for material help
Doombot: for help

Another project complete:

• BD25 with menus that look and behave like the official Criterion discs, with pop up menus and resume function
  
• Video taken from the official blu ray
  
• English 2.0 Stereo AC3 taken from the DVD
  
• Audio commentary taken from the LD
  
• English, French, German and Spanish Subtitles
  
• Deleted Scenes
  
• Screen Tests

Hi All,

When Bad Lieutenant was originally released the soundtrack contained the track "Signifying Rapper" by Scholly D, later after Led Zeppelin took legal action the track was removed and replaced. Hippie Dalek is kindly ripping the uncut soundtrack from the NTSC LD which I will then sync up to the HD blu ray. 

I understand the only visual difference is during the end credits, as different songs are credited. Just wondered what people's thoughts are here - would you prefer a much lower quality version of the credits with the correct songs listed? Or retain the HD credits? Or keep the HD credits and add the LD credits as an extra feature? 

Also I don't suppose anyone has the French DVD or the UK Fabulous Films DVD? They have a few unique interviews I could include. 

Thanks

The file for Side 3 also includes the audio for a behind the scenes featurette.

Please note that because this is from a PAL release so audio has been sped up by 4% and most likely pitch corrected. Both of these issues can easily be fixed using Eac3To.
