So, after a few weeks I finished regrading this. Now gone is that orange push. Blues are blue, and everything looks as it should.

I used the wowow 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. 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, the Paramount BluRay (so 1080p).

Size: 36.3 GB

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

Subtitles: English, Spanish

For more subtitles, use opensubtitles, for example, to find the one you want.





You can find it on katcr dot co (kickass torrents) (it’s ok to say where as long as I don’t post any links, right?).










PM if you need a link or whatever.

Does anyone think the Cobra and Predator 2 workprints are still out there or have they been destroyed? It's hard to believe someone would just toss it into a fire although I wouldn't put it past 20th Century Fox

I have the Cinema DTS for these two and would like to sync them and offer them for participating members. However I'd like the raw lossless theatrical (!) Blu Ray audio as a reference to sync to, does anyone here have it and could demux it for me and send it?

Do you guys know if any such thing exists? Is there any official or unofficial release of a score-only track/isolated score?

Top is the new master.


Did anyone else know about this??
I know The Siege and The Living Daylights were a nightmare to find at the time, but I had no idea this happened

If someone has this movie on LD, would you so kind and capture (bit-perfect) it, so it can be synced to the 4K release. The 4K release only has a new Atmos mix. If the capturer wont sync it, please capture the video too. It will help to make the syncing a lot easier.

There are 3 possible LDs, two from USA and one from Japan. I don't know which would be the best. But preserving the original mix over the Atmos should be the goal, right.

Cheers and thanks

Hi All,

Probably a daft question. 

I've done a few projects where I'm preserving some movies that have only been released on VHS. I've used a professional company with high spec equipment to capture them and they have been saved as very large prores files.

In terms of the audio, would it be worth creating DTS HD files? I don't know much about audio but I presume VHS is lossless like laserdiscs? Or will it make no difference and I should just go with AC3? 

Thanks

There are quite a few BD releases for this movie. The Kino Lorber version possibly being the one with the best audio. At least on paper, as it has the mono mix in lossless. But is it the original mono mix or is just a faltdown of the 5.1?
So which BD is the one to hunt after, purely for the audio. For video the Mondo release looks the best, I'd say.

Rock Odyssey is a mostly forgotten animated film by Hanna Barbera involving a girl trying to find love through the different decades to a licensed rock soundtrack.

It was never released in America, or on any kind of home media. It was only broadcast in Spain and Asia.

There was only 1 source that I could find. A DIVX blend deinterlaced PAL highly compressed Spanish VHS TV recording that was uploaded in 2008 and a cellphone recording for the english audio [Thank you Minino_Quick from DivxClasico.com for uploading the Spanish VHS and OldSkoolFan from Myspleen for reuploading the English audio after it was taken down]

However I think that my restoration is turning out good. However I can't remove the frame blending sadly as it's 25fps and already deinterlaced. Though I might do some more testing later.

I was wondering whether it would make sense to add a nice DTS logo in front of projects that use Cinema DTS audio.

In particular this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtzEa62KXBE

The audio is, I think, also on some or all Cinema DTS discs. For the video, I see one of these on German ebay atm, which I could buy and get scanned.

Did cinemas use to play these ahead of movies or nah? Because clearly it only makes sense if it resembles the real cinema experience.
