Aspect ratio: 1.37:1*

AUDIO

An * indicates that the spec also appears on the original version of the pilot. The DVDs will only use the theme largely used in their respective versions due to space issues.

	https://www.ebay.com/itm/HANK-SEARLS-MOV...3400530993 Just saw this and thought it looked interesting. Anyone into this kind of stuff? I'd be tempted to buy it if I wasn't dirt poor. Obviously it's not the whole movie, but might have some interesting stuff on it?

Giveaway of the Day and Other Free/Charity Software Offers

N.B. I have turned this into a generic heads-up thread for free software that is on offer, by which I mean available for a limited time. (Note the emphasis on free, by which I mean gratis rather than free in the Richard-Stallman sense of the word.) EDIT: Offers that involve a minimal payment to charity (e.g., Humble Bundle) can also be posted.

Offers don't necessarily have to be from giveawayoftheday.com, though of course they might be, and the software on offer might be limited to a fixed term of free use.

Please also note that, as this is FanRes, I tend to confine offers that I post about to things that are in some way related to video, audio, image-manipulation, etc.

Indiana Jones (And other films) on TV over Christmas

Posted by: zoidberg - 2017-12-22, 02:25 AM - Forum: Official and unofficial releases - Replies (2)

The Indy films are being shown on BBC in order, yesterday Raiders, today was Temple. As always BBC are using the same masters as before, rather than pay for new ones. Raiders looks to be the pre-WOWOW scan and has the evil CGI cliff. Temple seems to be the same scan as the Blu but with no dirt cleanup and more grain (less DNR), most likely Crusade will be the same tomorrow.
Unfortunately they are being shown in a nice daytime slot so most (but not all) of the violence is cut. You can see some of a man's face melt off, just not all of it! Just enough to give the boys and girls nightmares.

Just out of curiosity have these masters ever shown up elsewhere? And would they be of any use to anyone in a project? I'm recording the three of them on my Tivo box.

Also the Back to the Future trilogy is showing on channel 4 but I'm not too optimistic about those as channel 4 compresses too much usually. They're also on NetFlix, but again they've been compressed too much.

Where Eagles Dare - theatrical reconstruction

Posted by: jonno - 2017-12-21, 06:22 PM - Forum: Released - Replies (18)

[Image: V9EaivC.jpg]

It's the season for wintery movies, and I'm coming to the end of work on a particular snowy classic - Where Eagles Dare (made 1968, released 1969).

The Blu-ray release, while strong on picture quality, is a disappointment: the intermission and entr'acte from the original release are edited out, and the only sound option is a modern 5.1 remix.

I've used the 1988 laserdisc as a guide to reconstructing something close to the original version. The main video source is the Blu-ray, but the intermission is reinstated, and the audio track is the PCM from the laser.

As an accompaniment I've also made a UK cinema intro reel incorporating 1969 ads, trailers, and a short to enjoy before the main feature.

A couple of caveats: the Blu-ray's VC-1 has excellent definition, but it is a very dark image compared with the laserdisc. I have not attempted any colour alteration in this release, though may do in future versions.

Additionally, while the original release was in 70mm 6-track and 35mm mono, the 1988 laser has a stereo PCM track. It isn't clear whether it's an upmix or a downmix, but nonetheless its fidelity and presence are far more pleasing than that of the BD remix. Since the picture has been edited to accommodate the intermission and entr'acte, the BD 5.1 is not included on this release.

Finally, the intermission and entr-acte screens on the laserdisc look suspiciously video-y; my HD recreations hopefully have a more authentically filmic texture.

Stay tuned for release details!

Reservoir Dogs (1992) - Black and white / Open matte

Posted by: Koopa Luath - 2017-12-21, 06:16 PM - Forum: Recycle bin - Replies (8)

Remember how Quentin Tarantino originally intended to make his feature film debut, Reservoir Dogs, using black and white 16mm stock? Well, for another early project, I plan on restoring the film in accordance with his original low-budget vision. Obviously, this restoration will use Carolco logos as seen on early trailers. Preliminary specs are as follows:

VIDEO
Resolution: 1080p (BD), 480p (NTSC DVD), 576p (PAL DVD)
Aspect ratio: 1.37:1, 2.35:1, and 1.78:1

AUDIO
English (Dolby Stereo SR 4.0: left, center, right, and surround)
English (6-track: left, left-center, center, right-center, right, and surround)
French (Dolby Stereo SR 4.0: left, center, right, and surround)
German (Dolby Stereo SR 4.0: left, center, right, and surround)
Italian (Dolby Stereo SR 4.0: left, center, right, and surround)
Castilian Spanish (Dolby Stereo SR 4.0: left, center, right, and surround)
Turkish (Dolby Stereo SR 4.0: left, center, right, and surround)
Brazilian Portuguese (Dolby Stereo SR 4.0: left, center, right, and surround)
Hungarian (Dolby Stereo SR 4.0: left, center, right, and surround)
Mexican Spanish (Dolby Stereo SR 4.0: left, center, right, and surround)
Venezuelan Spanish (Dolby Stereo SR 4.0: left, center, right, and surround)

SUBTITLES
English
English SDH
French
French SDH
German
German SDH
Spanish
Spanish SDH (Castellano)
Spanish SDH (Latino)
Italian
Danish
Dutch
Finnish
Greek
Hungarian
Japanese
Korean
Portuguese
Swedish
Turkish

The above spec list is not final, which is most true for the subtitles; I might have to drop some of the subtitle options, ultimately, and I have no illusions that I'll be able to get everything I want for this project. But I'll do my darnedest with what I do have.
