  [REQUEST] Chaplin's Limelight full LD Transfer
Posted by: monks19 - 2016-09-24, 02:24 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - No Replies

Hi. I'm looking for a full transfer from the LD of Chaplin's Limelight (1952). As some may know, this LD is the only support that have the complete movie (other more recent support, like DVD & Blu-Ray, have one important scene removed and labeled as a bonus only & in poor quality compared to the remaining of the film).

Here's a sample image of the mentioned LD: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Limelight-Laserdi...XQVT9S1fVq. If anyone her does have it, I'll be interested to acquire a high quality video transfer from it, if possible.

Let me know about this.

Thanks to answer

  Converting .h264 and .dts for editing

How would I go about it? I wouldn't have to get some proprietary software for this operation, would I?

Fanres is now https only.

The certificate should be recognized across all browsers, but e-mail me at admin fanres com in case it's not working for you (if you have to "confirm security exception" or something similar).

I removed non-https remote avatars, so if your avatar disappeared, you will either need to have it on a https image host (imgur is one), or you can just upload it to be hosted here.

http://www.fanres.com and http://fanres.com both redirect to https://forum.fanres.com, but https versions of those two addresses DO NOT. When you visit any of those two addresses via https, you will get a security warning.

  The Upscale Project (aka Project Upscale)
Posted by: PDB - 2016-09-19, 08:09 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (186)

So this is a project that I have been working on a couple of months. Sort of a fun throw away. The goal is to upscale old DVDs so that they are more watchable on newer technology (ie HD). I found myself still watching old interesting DVDs. Most were open matte, some interesting color schemes or simple the movie didn't exist in HD. The problem was that many of the transfer were showing their age. So my goal became to process upscale these DVDs to look as best as I could get them (probably other could do better but I wanted to see what I could do).

Problem is I can't magically make SD into HD. You can never create detail that isn't there but what I can do is make the old SD transfers look more like 35mm film. Remove EE and macro blocking. Re-grain the footage with real grain that was filtered out. And best of all, I can also take all the sources I have been collecting and hopefully color correct these upscales to hopefully look more like they did in the theater. Or at least a fun alternative.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The original projects are in the next post. Come 2022 I'm going to re-boot this project

  Labyrinth (1986) laserdisc audio

Hi all,

I have the new 4k UHD and BD set and the atmos audio is pointless!
Anyone have any of the LD release they can rip and sync to a bd rip at the correct frame rate?

  Sticky thread about custom artworks (request, discussion & showing)
Posted by: monks19 - 2016-09-17, 06:23 AM - Forum: Official and unofficial releases - Replies (13)

Hi. I wonder if it's possible on this forum to have a special sticky thread about custom artworks that could be shared, showed, discussed & requested ?

By artworks I mean anything related to projects happening here, like DVD/Blu-Ray covers, title cards (openings & endings) reconstructions or recreations, Posters (custom & originals), etc.

I think personally the forum & all the projects happening here could benefit from this. Don't you agree ?

Can we make this happen ?

Thanks to answer

Afternoon all!!

Been lurking quite a bit recently due to losing my login details at OT and not being able to navigate their previous upgrade. 

Anyway, signed up here a while ago but never got round to posting thanks to work life but hoping to get a bit more involved with discussions here! I do collect quite a bit of vintage release due to different sound mixes and colour timing, alternate cuts so looking forward to sharing my findings with everyone!

  Gone with the Wind LD Mono
Posted by: bendermac - 2016-09-11, 03:13 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (2)

Gone with the Wind was released on Blu-ray a few times, but each time the original mono audio wasn't added in lossless.
So I'd like to request the audio from the LaserDisc. I don't know which one would be the best version, maybe the 50th Anniversary?

Anyone can help?
