  The French Connection 1971 US BD Mono
Posted by: NeonBible - 2018-10-26, 12:52 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (12)

I have 1&2 on DVD and 1 on BD. But! ... both are UK version which lack the mono! (Actually I think the US DVD didn't have the mono either, only stereo?)

How can I make the same mistake twice? Rolleyes

Is anyone able to share the DD mono track from the US BD?

  Mad Max (1979) Original Mono
Posted by: iguanaclerk - 2018-10-24, 01:05 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (12)

The original (Australian) mono track is missing on all the Mad Max (1979) blurays. (It's my understanding that both the MGM disc and the shout factory disc just have a downmix of the 5.1). Has anyone ever synced the mono from the laserdisc or the original dvd release?

As the title asks, I don't suppose anyone here is registered on Cinemageddon are they? I only just recently discovered it but unfortunately, I can't register there since the open registration occurred like seven years ago and has been strictly invites only since. If you are registered there, is it possible I could get an invite myself? Thanks in advance!

  images "squeezed" on mobile version

Using the mobile version, I noted that some images are squeezed horizontally - for examples, the screenshots on the UHD BD to BD thread.

Is it just me?

  Mac DVD ripper?
Posted by: SiriusGen - 2018-10-18, 02:40 AM - Forum: Capture and rip - Replies (5)

I'm looking for a decent Mac DVD Ripper. I've seen a bunch, but all seem to be 5min demo types.

I was looking at MacX DVD Ripper, but their purchase page shows an image of PayPal but when I went to fill in my details, they wanted credit card details and no PayPal option. It also says 24/7 support which I've emailed, but no reply to my PayPal question.

So, what Mac DVD rippers do you use?

  Well hello there

Hey all,

Stumbled onto this site whilst researching open matte features. Was very pleased to see a blog post I wrote regarding comparisons between grading and aspect for Terminator 2 was being discussed. Fantastic to find technical people putting together stuff, restoring and archiving stuff.

Big fan of Terminator 2, Aliens, Lost Boys, Labyrinth, Flight Of The Navigator and Tron. I have a handful of import laserdiscs and on the hunt for the ultimate UAR version of Terminator 2 (which I've seen a 2 minute version of by spoRv and was very impressed!).

Thanks for having me. Hopefully I can contribute with some of my knowledge.

  [Ignore; Was Oblivious] My Bloody Valentine (1981) Restoration
Posted by: LucasGodzilla - 2018-10-17, 07:40 AM - Forum: Archived projects - Replies (6)

One of my single most favorite slasher movies ever made was a rather early 80s Canadian flick titled My Bloody Valentine.


Unfortunately, it was absolutely butchered by the MPAA at the time and in order to get an R rating, nine minutes of footage had to be chopped out. Good news: Three minutes of footage got added back in a special edition of the movie back in 2009. Bad news: Six minutes of footage is still floating around and the three minutes of footage that did get released are in pretty crappy quality with noticeable scratches, grain, and different color grading. You can check out the footage here.

Being honest, I don't mind the grain and all that too much, same goes for the color grading; Probably due to the fact that it gives the movie a grittier more exploitative / grindhouse-ish feel. However, what I DO have an issue with is that this is inconsistent with the rest of the footage. It's incredibly jarring when you're watching the movie with the footage added back in.

This is where this thread comes into place. Does anyone by any chance have the know-how to fix up the movie? My best guess as to how to approach this maybe is to look back at the laserdisc release of the movie since it would likely contain not only the theatrical mono audio (which is something I don't entirely trust in the special edition release), but it also would have a more accurate and more vintage look to movie.

I'd also like to bring up that although–as far as I know–Paramount (of course) never released that leftover six minutes of footage to this very day, I'm wondering if there's anyone who somehow by sheer luck or something may be aware or has access even to some of this excised footage; Maybe a workprint of the movie even somehow? Highly doubt it but I felt it was worth a mention. I'd also like to ask if an open-matte version of the movie exists, perhaps as a part of one of the older releases? Not quite sure it even exists either, and even if, I wouldn't know how to properly add that in with deleted footage, but I'm still curious. Maybe as a separate rip?

Anyways, I, unfortunately, do not have anything handy since I am not in possession of the laserdisc copy of My Bloody Valentine (let alone a way to rip a laserdisc, to begin with) nor a Blu-Ray rip of my special edition copy since I am ill-equipped to rip Blu-Ray discs sadly enough.

So, is there anyone on this forum who would be interested in the project of fixing up this movie as it deserves?

Hello Everyone,

I first heard about this site from the truly impressive color-correction of Curse of Frankenstein by The Aluminum Falcon. I am very passionate about film and film preservation and am glad to be a part of this forum.

  [Canceled] Star Trek 2 The Wrath Of Khan Regrade (Paramount Widescreen Laserdisc)
Posted by: PDB - 2018-10-16, 05:37 PM - Forum: Archived projects - Replies (30)

This project has been replaced with this one:

https://fanrestore.com/thread-4117.html?...ar+trek+II

Star Trek 2 The Wrath Of Khan Regrade (Paramount Widescreen Laserdisc v1.0)

Project Info:
This is part three in my series of laserdisc to Blu-ray regrades. Taking the color of the laserdisc and applying it to the HD of the BD. ST2 came up not because the new BD is bad, in fact it's excellent outside of being a little too dark, but because the colors of the LD were very different. The LD is very warm with oranges/red and greens but also much brighter making it a sometimes a more pleasing watch. Think of this as a fun alternative to the current BD.

Just like other LD regrades, I am going to reduce the saturation of the LD a bit and tweak the reds to be less blooming.

Note: This is theatrical cut only and will be in sync with the TC BD for adding additional soundtracks and subs

(I have several of these planned, regrade to LDs or DVDs where the soundtracks are already in sync but will re-focus on the projects I have to finish soundtrack syncing soon....and MM2)

Video:
Paramount BD regraded to match the widescreen laserdisc

Audio:
1. PCM 2.0 Dolby Surround (from the widescreen Laserdisc)
3. Dolby Digital 5.1 (from the Paramount BD)
