I got a few Cinema DTS discs and on one of them, in each file after precisely 2 minutes a locomotive-like noise comes in, garbling the audio and making it unusable.
Any idea what this might be?
It does not occur in the trailers-file, only in the main files.
Has some nice shots in the article description that could possibly be used for a simple LUT color matching. It does seem to look better than the Blu Ray, from what I remember.
UPDATE: The seller was so kind as to provide his scans in a bit higher quality: https://imgur.com/a/LtcFd
Brother is one of the movies that I've never really known about, but once I watched it, I loved it. I was kinda disappointed to learn that there was no HD transfer available at the time, but two years we got iTunes transfer that suffers from few things, such as terrible color grading (similar to the one you'd see in A Better Tomorrow, 'muddy' screen throughout the movie), poor audio (2.0 AAC) and no subtitles at all (other than Russian).
So I've decided to get onto this problems and I present to you my own release under the name of Cinema Polish.
Using ColorMatch tool by Dr.Dre and low-quality HDTV recording (of SD transfer) I've managed to restore colours to look somewhat more natural now, in my opinion, it's a really big improvement over the original iTunes transfer. You can see the comparison below.
Release ships with following audio tracks:
- Russian - DTS-HD MA 5.1 - converted from DTS 5.1 DVD disc for Bluray compatibility;
- Russian - Dolby Digital 5.1 (384kbps) - sourced from Amalgama PAL DVD release;
- Russian - Dolby Digital 2.0 (192kbps) - sourced from iTunes WEB-DL, converted from AAC for Bluray compatibility;
- Three different Polish voiceovers (192kbps) - sourced from various sources (DVB, HDTV, DVD).
Subtitles:
- English (Tartan DVD) - subtitles from Amalgama DVD seem to be machine translated and contain a lot of grammar errors, Tartan DVD translation seems superior to me;
- Russian (iTunes);
- Spanish (Amalgama DVD);
- German (Amalgama DVD);
- French (Amalgama DVD);
- Italian (Amalgama DVD);
- Swedish (Amalgama DVD);
- Dutch (Amalgama DVD);
- Polish (Unknown translator) - very good translation containing some of the songs translated as well;
- Czech (Amalgama DVD).
The release is Bluray compliant.

Should be uploaded to your favourite tracker this weekend.
would like to get ahold of the original tracks for the dirty harry series - they have been ruined with fake sounding modern effects
don't think any laserdiscs have the mono versions but I think the earlier digital releases are just reprocessed for stereo without new SFX so they can be downmixed to mono. early 90's VHS tapes also have reprossed for stereo versions
Compared a lot of 5.1 remixes to the original Ac3 and 90% of the time the ac3 tracks sound better but they are heavily compressed, aside from Spy who loved me which is around 448kps at 2.0 theres a lot of notable differences in reverb on the end of the movie its been taken out in the remix and most of the music sounds mono.
Hello
I heard mention of an Open Matte version of Showgirls and some googling led me here. The projects here are impressive. Myself, I've taken some Unrated VHS tapes and combined them R-rated DVDs. I've only recently been attempting to color correct some of my VHS rips. None of the stuff I've done is near as cool as what appears to be going here. After seeing this forum I might have to up my game. A few weeks ago I attempted to marry the open matte Friday the 13th Part 5 VHS with the HD blu-ray but wasn't happy with the results.
Original title: Prometheus Original runtime: 2h03m46s Source: HDTV as main source, WEBdl as second source, another HDTV as third source Video processing: HDTV with logo was used as main source, because of its higher quality, and WEBdl was used to get rid of the TV logo, and taken as color reference; a second HDTV source was used for the few shots with writings (main title, Skye island, space mission details); deblocking; very light sharpening; color correction to cancel teal blanket and get back right skin color and white balance; 35mm grain plate Audio processing: none Video format: x264 1920x1080 23.976fps open matte 1.78:1 Audio format: DTS-HD MA 7.1 English; DD 5.1 English audio description; DTS 5.1 French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese; 2x DD 2.0 224kbps English commentaries Subtitles: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese (movie); English, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Japanese (commentaries) Chapters: 36 Release notes: less than 5% of the whole movie (excluding final credits) used WEBdl as sole source, because main HDTV one has huge pop-ups that could be not deleted efficiently otherwise, or has some frames with glitches Release format: BD-50

You have one week to check it out. This test is the series premiere promo for Sailor Moon, regrained first to 16mm and then 35mm in Blender and rendered in Resolve.
ETA: I'm pretty sure I didn't do a good job, but then, hardly anybody gets it right on the first go. In any case, how do you think I did? (BTW it's impossible to do HDR in Blender alone, and I'm not entirely sure Resolve alone will produce optimal results, which is why I combined both programs for this ongoing experiment.)
I saw some film strips of Shaun of the Dead and some of them have an opened matte.
So I was wondering whether perhaps an open matte version existed. I looked through the blu-ray.com catalogue and I found this Japanese Blu Ray listed as 1.78:1: https://www.amazon.co.jp/ショーン・オブ・ザ・デッド-B...033&sr=8-1
blu-ray.com lists it as 1.78:1 and amazon does the same. On top, the amazon page makes an extra remark in Japanese language "16:9". I know these infos can be wrong, but it's still worth a try I think.
Does anyone here have this or can find it somewhere?
Google says the price is around a 100 EUR. If anyone here is able to buy it, I might consider reimbursing that person, but that action would have to wait until the next year (money is short lol).

Just a quick project I did in the last few days.
Shinya Tsukamoto's films have been getting HD restorations for the last few years. Unfortunately, there's been no hint of an HD release of Hiruko the Goblin, since Tsukamoto doesn't own the rights to that film. In the meantime, I upscaled the Japanese DVD and made a single pass regrade to the Japanese Laserdisc.
