There is a great guide that I found here:

https://www.google.com/amp/blog.chameleo...-sheet/amp

It has the H by W for each of the major resolutions. Which is particularly useful if you are cropping out black bars in an official release.

Here are the resolutions used in the home cinema world.

Edit: Coming off Tom’s post I cleaned the 1.33 and 1.66 entries

It's probably a good idea to have a generic thread to discuss this film, especially the different versions of it.  This thread is also where I'l park useful links and other information for future reference.

The ShoWest Trailer

Hello,
Would anyone happen to have the laserdisc audio for the US version of Robert Clouse's The Protector? Or might there be a decent track from a DVD?

For clarification, we have a scan of the Japanese laserdisc, and for the sake of clarity my friend feels that the US laserdisc's soundtrack might blend better with it than a DVD source.

I do have the R4 release, but as with many HKL titles, I suspect that it might be a downmix.

Thanks.

I've put together a cut of this movie with dual audio, original Japanese and the pretty bad English dub. The source for the video is the Japanese DVD, which is slightly longer than the US VHS due to them cutting out any establishing shot with onscreen Japanese text.

I've gotten a rip down that someone synced the US audio to the Japanese video, resulting in areas of silence.

I have masked out the Japanese text so that the original length is retained (other than a couple of brief shots). This was I was able to preserve most of the Japanese audio not have any abrupt cuts. I also filled in the gaps in the US audio, so that the video is continuous and stays synced up throughout.

I would like to include English subs of the Japanese dub, as I'm sure the original dialogue is a lot less clunky than the US dub is. I'm looking for help for either someone to point me in the direction of a direct translation of the Japanese audio, or someone who is willing to watch the movie and translate it for me.

If you can help please give me a shout.

Hey guys. It is the first time I post here, so please forgive me if I say something dumb or if someone else already had this idea.

So, let me tell you how did I come to have this idea: While browsing around the web, me and a friend found a Spanish dub version of UTOPIA (we are mexicans, so we found it interesting), but I noticed something interesting: It was Open-Matte. Checking the Blu-Ray and the video files we had, we noticed it was not the case for the original version of it.
So, my idea was to mount the english audio on the Open-Matte spanish video. Problem is, the Spanish broadcast has cut scenes, so, it's not that simple.
I guess it'd be still possible to do by putting the spanish and english scenes together so nothing gets lost, but it'd imply to have multiple aspect ratios in one file, which might be annoying to some people.
Also, because most of the spanish broadcast apisodes are in 720p, they'd have to be upscaled to match the BRRip version, and also, they'll have to be edited to remove the channel's logo.

This is no more than a early stage idea, and I just wanted to share it with you to see if you'd like to see this project done.
And, of course, any help wuld be received gladly, for as I'm not an expert when it comes to fan edit, but even without help, I think I can do something.

Thanks a lot for reading.

Mediainfo is very important, yet too long (and when quoted, even longer!)

I hereby propose to wrap it inside the "hide" tag - at the moment, it should be made manually... how?

With the release of "The Evil Dead: A Nightmare Reimagined" by Mondo earlier this year, has anyone has ever experimentally tried to sync up the new soundtrack with the movie?
