I know for a lot of fans this is a big deal. I've read so many message board threads among various sites that focus on the AR on this film. The guy who posted that thread ain't getting any hits, so I figured this site has fans that'll take notice

Is anyone able to extract the background score for Scarface? I tried it, but the result still has some chatter echoing. Would anyone be able to clean it up?

I use a beautiful Sony XBR960 HDCRT which is somewhere around 1450x1080i. It can't do 24p nor 1080p. Everything else autoscales to 1080i, but the SD comb filter is truly amazing and all SD looks wonderful. The blacks are absolutely pitch due to the SFP tube. Color is deep and wonderful. It does have annoying phosphor trails from phosphor lag.

So am I nuts for still using this as my main monitor? I've never found anything affordable to beat it despite the age and its downsides. I'd love a high end plasma but they are hard to come by still in good shape.

I'd like to have something to do 1080p 24p to get the absolute best out of BD but have no idea what really compares.

Hello,

For all our new members, welcome to Fanres, we hope you enjoy your stay.

This thread is designed for you to ask questions before you start posting. One thing I highly recommend is reading the rules first. It should be able to answer most queries. That being said there are still nuances with what we do here that well might need some clarification and this would be the place to get it. We have a great bunch of people here and a lot of good honest work goes in to the projects that are taken on by our members. Please respect each other. There is more than enough room for all to participate in and donate to projects if needed. Thanks to all my fellow site members, you all rock!!!

Okay ... time for questions. Bring it on.

This is one of my favorite animated movies but it was only ever released on DVD.

It's kind of a very adult and bloody thriller thing, but the protagonist is a cat.

Doesn't look like the company that produced it is still in business either, so a Blu Ray release at any point is rather improbable. I think there may be some 35mm prints out there, at least for rental. Would be nice to have this movie in HD. 

I don't really have any money nor scanning equipment, but maybe someone else can and wants to look into this.

If I were to restore the original DVD Singles release of Dragon Ball Z, would you people be interested? Let me know.

Video sourced from both HDTV (1080i - thanks maksnew!) and original US Bluray - BD video was overlaid HDTV where it was possible (99% of the movie), HDTV was filtered, deinterlaced and deblocked as much as source allowed (there are still some MPEG2 compression blocks in some places). Afterwards, video was color corrected by spoRv (thank you!) - slightly demagenta'd.

Original thread

This is a cross-post from OT.com (where I am ElectricTriangle).

Duel was originally released on TV with a 70-minute runtime. For its European theatrical premiere, Spielberg added more footage to get it to a required 90 minute runtime. Some of this is new car scenes and some of it is more obvious padding (the opening credits and the conversation with Mann’s wife.) In addition to the new footage, additional directorial changes were made, including a new, dynamic mono sound mix and the removal of much of David Mann’s redundant inner monologue to great effect.
This fan edit mostly follows the original, tighter TV edit of the film, while also using the theatrical sound mix and removing the inner monologues. It also includes the further edits made to the film for the DVD and Bluray release (which removes more inner thoughts). I also created some new opening and closing title cards to match the TV edit.
I used a 4:3 HDTV copy as the base because the Blu ray is unfortunately only available in cropped 1.85:1. Special thanks to DrDre’s ColorMatch tool tool which was incredibly useful to help match the different sources and make the older scan look a little nicer.

Sources used:
Duel 4:3 HDTV (primary video)
Duel Blu ray (primary mono audio and color reference)
Duel NSTC DVD (used to patch out logos in the HDTV)
Duel 16:9 Cropped French Digital SD TV airing (two brief shots)
Duel TV VHS Recording (some audio)
Duel SD extras documentary (partial opening shot which was blended with the French Digital source and the Bluray)
Columbo Blu ray (pilot episodes) (opening and closing Universal logo)

Audio: 2.0 Mono FLAC

Version 2 changes:
-No more VHS footage (Footage from the TV cut is now sourced from a cropped French digital airing, with a custom matte to “uncrop” the opening shot.)
-A different, more balanced color grade.
-patched out the HDNet logos with DVD footage.
-English Subtitles

This project series is probably done with. Future project using 35 elements will just their own beasts.

---------------------------------------
Couldn't find a better title for this project so bear with the name.

The overall goal of this project is to take existing HD masters and change the colors to look more like a 35mm print using 35mm materials. This originally started out as a sister project to my upscale project here:

https://fanrestore.com/thread-1071.html

In the upscale project I took the final video and tried to color grade it to match picture of 35mm frames. I wanted to take that idea and apply it to HD masters but go one step further. I have bought several trailers from movies and scanned them myself. It's often said that a trailer might not be fully color timed but that doesn't mean that they are wrong, all the time. In fact most of the 35mm trailer scans I have seen match prints pretty well. I then took the scanned color information, generated a LUT(s) and applied it to the existing HD master to color grade it. It's not without it's fault but creates a fun alternative to the existing HD masters and is an easier way of trying to get closer to the look of a film without the expense of tracking down an actual 35mm print.

So this thread is like my upscale thread, to test ideas and concepts for this project and get opinions from fellow fanres-ers.

A little bit of note. While I do try to even out colors to reflect projection and what current video standards are, you should still expect high contrast, occasional blow-out and saturated colors as you would see in a 35mm print. If you hate that look you may not like these project.

Hi, I put this up on OT.com earlier (I'm ElectricTriangle over there) and I thought I might put it up over here if anyone's interested.

This is an HD recreation of the director’s cut of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, which was completed at SD resolution and only released on DVD. It’s primarily sourced from the HDTV, which uses the same transfer as the director’s cut DVD. The HDTV is low detail and has lots of compression, but it does have more grain and much better contrast than the Blu-ray. The unique footage from the director’s cut DVD is upscaled. Color-corrected Blu-ray footage is used for some shots with alien subtitles. I have also recreated some of the director’s cut changes in HD by combining SD and HD footage.
