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.

LaserDisc 2.0 PCM


WEB-DL Dolby+ 5.1


Blu-ray Dolby 2.0


Blu-ray DTS-HD MA 5.1

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.

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?

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

Thanks in advance

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

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...

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.
