Does anyone have the Highlander 2 Special Edition with the Zeist references intact?

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 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.

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

When you load a forum page that has a lot of image posts on it, the site will jump all over the place while the images load, and you don't end up at the post you actually clicked on.

My suggestion: Make the website automatically fetch the dimensions of each image in a post and automatically add them to the generated <img> tags so that the images will occupy their full size even before they are loaded.

This could be done via Javascript when the image is inserted in the editor or server-side once a post is sent. Would only have to be once for every image too.

It's not a huge issue, but a bit of an annoyance.

Hi All,

Just wondered what people tend to do in this scenario?

I've got a blu ray with DTS HD 5.1 and there are few missing SD scenes from the unrated DVD that I want to upconvert and add in that have Dolby Digital 5.1. 

I can convert both to wav, edit together then rebuild the DTS file, but I'm conscious there will be a noticeable difference in sound during the SD inserts. The other option is to drop the DTS track and just use the Dolby Digital track for the entire thing. 

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Basically I did the same as with Raiders.
I used the a HDTV as reference (but not as a matching reference). I regraded the frames in photoshop to look as the wowow reference, and then Dre's colormatch to create the LUTs. Finally, DaVinci Resolve to load to apply the LUTs, and some minor corrections. Again, a couple of scenes and a few shots here and there looked already good, so no need to regrade those.

The source was, of course, BluRay (so 1080p).

There are a couple of editions coming (and for the first time the theatrical cut). We'll see how they look.

Size: 34.35 GB

Audio: DTS Master Audio, DTS Core, AC3 (640 kbps)

Subtitles: English, Spanish, French

You can find it on katcr dot co - kickass torrents (it's called just Last of the Mohicans. I thought I renamed it with the word "regrade", but it's not. My bad ). Or PM me, of course.

Maybe someone knows or he came across a track where there are all the sounds of the film, except for the words of the actors themselves.

Although it is possible that such a track is simply not there.

The Dark Knight Scope Version (Quick Project v1.0)
The Dark Knight (IMAX Restoration v2.0)

Project Info:

I enjoy the scope or constant 2.35 version of The Dark Knight as fun alternative to the official BD and newer UHD which both use the 16:9 framing for the IMAX shots. To my knowledge only the iTunes copy (which is far from perfect with its DNR) currently has the 2.35 version with the newer UHD color timing. This project will process the UHD video combined with the Itunes video and merge it to the Cinemas DTS of my previous project. There will be no color correction.

As a separate bonus I will also insert the full frame (~1.33) IMAX shots from my previous DK project and color correcting those shots to match the Itunes master. This will officially replace this older project:

(I'm going to separate the IMAX version into it's own project)


Video:

Audio:
1. DTS-HD MA 5.1 (from the Cinema DTS discs)
2. Dolby TrueHD 5.1 (from the US BD)

Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country 2.00 Theatrical Cut (Project CRT #3 v 2.4)

Project Info:

Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country (ST6), like most of the classic Star Trek movies, has been treated pretty poorly in the HD world. Although I was happy to have the movie back in it's Theatrical Cut (TC) and scope format, the BD is terrible. Riddled with DNR and over-sharpening. Luckily there are two alternatives, the Sky HDTV broadcast and now a superior Amazon HDTV Web-DL in the new/flashback Director's Cut (DC2) form. (Big thanks to the anonymous source that helped me find the Amazon)

The goal of this project it to recreate the superior (IMHO) TC out of the Amazon Web-DL but also the old, original Director's Cut (DC1) which lacked the flashback shots and chiming noise during Spock's mind meld.

Although the Amazon has a superior picture over the Sky it still has some issues to overcome. First problem is that it has compression artifacts similar to my Top Gun project and many other Web-DLs.

Compression artifacts example
100x/200x



Finished (Deblock, Noise removal, CC, etc)
200x


Another problem is this HDTV open matte also uses similar color timing to the BD, DVD and Sky HDTV color timing. Unfortunately, this master has the standard 1990s/2000s red/magenta blanket over the picture, particularly in the highlights. So I removed some of the red and balanced the highs to "white". The end result looks like this:

Orig/CC'd (WIP aka still working on it)


Both will also include the LD's PCM but for the TC, I will add the additional tracks from the BD whereas the DC1 will have the original, excellent EAC-3 5.1.


Video (TC):
Amazon 2.00 open matte Web-DL with de-blocking, noise removal and slight color correction.

Audio (TC):
1. PCM 2.0 Dolby Surround (edited from the widescreen LD) (thanks BusterD)
2. DTS-HD MA 5.1 (edited form the Web-DL's Dolby Digital+/EAC-3 5.1)
3. Dolby Digital 5.1 (from the BD)
4. Dolby True HD 7.1 (from the BD)
