Targets (1968) dir. Bogdanovich WEB-DL Synced to BFI BD |

This might have the most noticeable difference in AQ among the tracks I've synced so far.
The new BFI Blu-ray sounds dreadfully muffled. Funnily enough, after viewing the film, I noticed one of the on-disc extras featured a clip which sounded significantly hissier and clearer!
So I've tracked down these four releases for comparison: - 2003 Paramount US DVD
- R2 DVD, likely 2004 Paramount UK release
- ~2020 1080p WEB-DL
- 2023 BFI BD
Spectrograms:
2023 BFI BD. Clearly low-pass & high-pass filtered and de-hummed.
2003 Paramount US DVD. Still sounds muffled despite having some high-frequency information.
R2 DVD, likely 2004 Paramount UK release. Slowed down to 23.976 fps. Hissy, yes. Hum, yes. But extraordinarily clear.
~2020 WEB-DL. Practically the same excellent mastering as the R2 DVD, sans the PAL speedup.
Spectrums showing the R2 DVD and WEB-DL stem from the same mastering:
R2 DVD, likely 2004 Paramount UK release. Slowed down to 23.976 fps.
~2020 WEB-DL.
Input/Output: E-AC-3, 2.0 mono, 224 kbps, 48 kHz
Notes on the sync:- Criterion also released a BD featuring the same restoration in 2023. However its PQ is noticeably worse than BFI's, plus FiM encoded the BFI BD. Both are 23.976 fps, so re-syncing to Criterion should be a simple delay adjustment.
- The WEB-DL and BFI BD are frame accurate save for a delay adjustment, whereas the US DVD and the BFI BD are not. The WEB-DL and BFI BD do not feature the same restoration though (different color grading and blemishes): WEB-DL looks more like the old DVD master.
- I also compared Bogdanovich's commentary on the BFI BD vs the Paramount US DVD. Spectrograms look the same.
PM me for a link. Enjoy!
(obviously no cover art for the WEB-DL, so here's the BFI cover)

There's a newly recorded commentary track on the Kino BD which references a DVD commentary track that was recorded but not included on the US release. It might be on the Canadian DVD, but I can't find the info online to confirm. Does anyone happen to have this?

Hard Rain Special Edition |

Hard Rain has been released on blu ray but the color grading is very different from the DVD. I personally much prefer the DVD look, it's darker which I feel fits with a movie set entirely at night and it has lots of rich blues. I used curves and lumetri color in Premiere to adjust the grading of the blu ray so that it better resembles the DVD. Note this is not a shot for shot regrade project, it is not a perfect match for the DVD because I did not feel the DVD was perfect throughout. This is my own personal regrade, using the DVD as an indication.
In terms of audio there is the English Cinema DTS Track. The Cinema DTS levels have been adjusted correctly, the 27ms delay has been baked in and all processing was done in Izotope with selective dithering.
Finally all the extras have been ported over from the German release. Thanks to @MrBrown for sending that over.

Don't suppose anyone out there has access to the US blu ray? I've been looking into this and the UK release is widely regarded as the better option due to improved picture and AVC encoding, however for some reason it misses all of the opening credits and the dates/locations. The US release is lower quality and MPEG2 but it doesn't miss off the credits and dates/locations. I'm thinking maybe a hybrid of the two, possibly with rotoscoping, but I'm struggling to find the US release anywhere. Does anyone have one they can rip? Thanks
