So I recently purchased the 2013 Blu-Ray of Akira and, my god, is it beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen a more gorgeous restoration of an animated film as this one. The only issue I had was entirely subjective, but I still tend to prefer the colors of the 2001 Pioneer DVD. I don't know why, maybe it's just me, but it just seemed to pop out more there.

So yeah, is anyone interested enough to regrade the BD to match the colors of the Pioneer DVD? Because that would be amazing 

Hey guys,

I'm looking for anyone who still have either the LD audio of Starship Troopers ripped or any DVD featuring the Dolby Surround mix.

I would like to sync it to the current 4K / 2K Blu and share audio only. The current Blu is fantastic, but it lacks the DS mix.

Also if anyone is specialist about this film and can point out any difference in the multiple editions 5.1 mixes, let me know.

Hello everyone. I just found out about this forum and have joined up. I am currently working on edits of the Harry Potter series to create extended versions like the ones on TV. I am hoping at some point to be able to share these with others.

In the meantime, I look forward to being a part of the community.

Do anyone of you guys have the US broadcast version of Blade Runner aired on CBS ? This version was on the spleen last week but I did not have time to grab it and I don't no why but it has already been deleted.

Thanks in advance.

Tombstone Director's Cut HD + SD Upscaled (Quick Project v1.0)

Project Info:

This project attempts to recreate the director's cut of Tombstone using the old DVD SD footage mixed with HD footage from the BD theatrical cut. The SD has a lot of halos/EE which were mitigated with dehaloing. It was also IVTC'd, deblocked and re-grained. Finally, it was color corrected to better match the HD footage.

While the SD will never look HD, hopefully this project will make the SD footage flow better with the HD. There is approximately 5 to 6 mins of upscaled footage.

The HD footage also had some dehaloing applied and had it's levels boosted as it was a bit dark.

Note: Synced to the Vista DVD. I removed about 7 frames from the HD footage to keep sync since those frames were missing on the DVD.  I also capped the LD and will include the one missing deleted scene as an extra.

Video:
The US BD HD footage dehaloed and slightly tweaked combined with the Vista DVD's SD footage. With the SD footage IVTC's, upscaled and processed to flow better.

Audio:
1. PCM 2.0 Dolby Surround w/ fill in from the DD 5.1 (from the Widscreen Laserdisc)
2. DTS 5.1 (from the Vista DVD)
3. DD 2.0 Commentary (from the Vista DVD)

Original Thread Opener:
I assume the answer is no but was the DC of Tombstone issued in HD anywhere?

Hopefully this isn't "built in" so that it can't be fixed. I've noticed that polls which are still active display the notice This poll is closed. when a user is not signed in. However, when signed in it shows as active.

Polls should better show something like Sign in for this poll. as it's normal (not signed in) state. Then, when signed in, it will be shown to be active. When a poll is truly finished, then both these notices should be overridden by This poll is closed.

Hello,

I give you the following information, from originaltrilogy.com : 

You may have noticed in poita’s thread poita has the opportunity to scan the SE Trilogy in 6K triple-flashed with a damage matte. There is also a Phantom Menace print available that can be scanned at the same facility. To be scanned triple-flashed with damage matte would require 21TB of storage, scanned single-flashed can be done with 4TB. The prints (Phantom Menace and the SEs) and the scanner are only available for a short window, so it’s now or never if we wish to get this scanned. It is $400 to rent and ship the print.
Scanning will be about $2500.
If you’re interested in this please send me a private message, and let me know how much you would be willing to contribute. ?
Just a quick note: Don’t send me any donations for this, just pledges. If the project goes ahead all donations can be made straight to poita. ?

I was thinking about how many fanedits live an existence of low quality/SD and I was thinking it should be somewhat trivial to program a software that takes a source (like for example the HD version of a movie), analyzes it, then analyzes the fanedit, and matches the most similar frames and thus recreates that fanedit with a new source, without needing the original project file.

Of course that wouldn't work with rotoscoped stuff and the likes, but the technology for this already exists I think. For example dupeGuru does image comparison for finding duplicates and can do so across different resolutions and even with partial images. It expresses similarity as a percentage. Each frame could simply be matched to the frame that is most similar to it (with a quick pre-pass to find roughly similar frames).

Would probably take a few minutes or maybe hours to do the analysis-pass, but it should not be that programmatically challenging (for someone who knows C++ or the likes - I'm just a lousy PHP developer and PHP is too fucking slow).

If that effort was invested by someone one time, we could, with relative ease, restore a lot of fanedits to higher quality (and do some manual corrections where it didn't work). If that is in anyone's interest, anyway.

I found this list on blu-ray.com forum and thought it might be useful to know which members here own these titles and I'm sure there are plenty more that are not listed yet so feel free to point out missing titles. I happen to have only two or three from this list.

I was hoping that Live Wire starring Pierce Brosnan had received an upgrade from its VHS and early 2000 DVD releases but still no blu ray exists worldwide. I know... it's not Die Hard, right?  
However, I did find out that iTunes (US store) has a 1080p MPEG-4 AVC version available
