Next year will mark the 80th anniversary of the debut of Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I'm hoping that this regrade should be done by then.
As I've already established, I aimed to see if I could make the best of the over-restored Disney Blu-ray releases by adding film grain and regrading the material to a reliable video source. In the case of Snow White, it's highly difficult to ascertain what makes the true colour palette - there is reason to believe that the nitrate yellowing on the frames I've seen is deliberate, but I'm not entirely sure - but based on my findings, I'm able to make an educated guess at what seems to be right. This is a small sample of what I have so far.

Some scenes will need more work, and I still need the monaural soundtrack from the Laserdisc. Soon as I get it, I can start looking for test viewers for feedback.

Thought an on going list was needed for LDs, you can say either you own it, have it captured, or it should be acquired for preservation.
If you have it captured, specify whether it's analog, or digital and bit perfect.  IN RED MEANS WE HAVE IT

Currently up on Karagarga and MySpleen. The images look smushed, but that is VLCs fault, the discs are in the correct aspect ratio.


"This should be as complete a mainstream filmic picture of the life and death of Sid Vicious as currently can be provided. See the notes below or take a look at the sources page also below.

Yes, you have the movie and virtually every extra created for any of the discs worldwide, but also tons of other material about Sid Vicious from the documentaries made about him and The Sex Pistols and all of their music.

As you can imagine, this took forever to put together, and eventually was made with many different types of DVD authoring software. I'm not happy with the visual clarity of the text on disc 2, which was the unavoidable downside of using DVD Lab Pro, which is pretty great in all other ways. However, rather than scrap the whole project, I decided that it was worth sharing, as everyone can do a little squinting from time to time. For those who think they have a solution, I talked with DVD Lab Pro experts and followed their directions, using the fonts and color schemes they suggested, importing flattened PSDs into DVD Lab Pro, and still got the same results.

The variety of clips that I've cut together from the various documentaries and mockumentaries about Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen are usually accurately described by the title, are not a reflection of what I think, but should give you an overall picture of the many ways the same stories can be told from various perspectives, and because I've already gone through them, it means you don't have to watch some of the more navel gazing and tedious indulgences of the directors behind The Great Rock N' Roll Swindle, Who Killed Nancy?, the cynical cash-in Who Killed Bill?, and Abel Ferrara's Chelsea on the Rocks.

Morbid biographical story of Sid Vicious, bassist with British punk group the Sex Pistols, and his girlfriend Nancy Spungen. When the Sex Pistols break up after their fateful US tour, Vicious attempts a solo career while in the grip of heroin addiction. One morning, Nancy is found stabbed to death and Sid is arrested for her murder.

I know the OT has this Cinerama 70mm preservation thread going on, and this may not fit their criteria, but a rip of the 4-channel soundtrack might be worth examining.

Does anyone have the UK optimum or German Studio Canal blu ray release of Manhunter? I just watched it streaming through Amazon prime and amazingly it's a 1080p version of the old "wrong" theatrical cut that was on the 2001 Anchor Bay dvd. I know the US MGM blu ray is the correct theatrical version so I was curious if this edit was on the European blu rays or if this was just some weird thing for VOD.

Now I know Myspleen seems to carry some of this stuff but I was wondering if there is any interest here in putting together some of this stuff for the enjoyment of being able to watch it as you remember seeing them on TV? More for nostalgia probably.

Does anyone have any Star Trek specials recorded on VHS from TV that might be of use towards this end? I'd like to keep it NTSC based but if there is PAL that we can convert for use that would be useful as well.

I wonder if, somewhere in the world, there is a BD (or HD-DVD, or HDTV) extended cut - theatrical + extended/deleted scenes found on DVD.

If not, maybe using the PaNup technique to insert them into the BD *could* be interesting...

Few days ago, I rewatched Underworld trilogy (fourth ep. is still missing from my BD collection) and I had some ideas...

1) Underworld unrated version, using theatrical colors - I'm pretty sure they differ quite substantially
2) "Lycans" with improved brightness and/or contrast - it's a bit too much dark, like AVP2
3) putting them in chronological order - first using the prologue from Und. Evolution, attached to the whole "Lycans" except the last snippet, leaving Viktor in the coffin as the last scene; then Und. "as is", but replacing the Sonya flashback using "Lycans" scenes instead (with proper regrading and flashback effect, if possible); at the end, Und. Evolution, without the prologue and subsequent Selene's narration.

Opinions?

I have updated the forum's software.

I think everything is working correctly, but if you find any problems, report them here.

I just saw this a few minutes ago.
