LIST OF OPEN MATTE AND VARIABLE ASPECT RATIO MOVIES

Updated 2018-01-24 - 3092 entries!

At the moment, there are almost more than 3000 entries, and, even leaving only titles and few data, the list will still be cut in a quarter, maybe, if posted here, due to space constrain; so, I've decided to not post titles here anymore, but leave them all in the master list:

Hope you would appreciate all the hard work behind compiling and maintaining the list updated; as usual, additions and corrections are welcome.

Have fun!

Anybody have this Laserdisc?

The Blu-ray 5.1 remix is quite revisionist, even more so than most 5.1 remixes, most notably *SPOILER ALERT* by adding a gunshot sound effect to the final shot.

If someone happens to have the LD and can rip the audio, then I hereby express interest in seeing it ripped and synced to the Blu-ray.

EDIT: I'm seeing now that the French BD has an English Stereo option. Don't know if it's the original mix or a downmix. If it's the former, then the LD might not be necessary.

Does anyone have a capture of the audio for Last Man Standing on Laserdisc in either version of the disc?

Was released with a Dolby D track and also DTS.

Thanks

I'm at my first rendering of/exporting a 98mins on Adobe Premiere with many effect layers and I'm wondering how normal is to have 55-60 hours expected rendering time with my computer set-up (i7 4790 CPU, 16GB RAM, GeForce GT 730 graphic card)
(I usually edit 30 minutes videos from FUll-HD files with a great deal of additional layers and it takes them 1 or 1 1/2 hours. Working with 720p source renders almost in real-time)

hey guys, anyone knows what would be The Crow original sound mix ? There's apparently a very cheap UK DVD in full screen with the stereo track (probably is Dolby Surround?), the current mixes on Blu-ray are crappy and not the original sound. Thanks if anyone can help. If you have an old LD, you're welcome to rip it

Hello, from 2011 til about a year and half ago my preferred video editing and DVD burning software was Nero 10. However, a year and a half ago I noticed that when ever Nero exports videos now it tends to have 'glitches', square boxes that pop up from time to time. I had used this software countless times without this issue. For months I was going back and forth on the Nero forum trying 
to find a solution to no prevail. I tried dozens of suggestions. Checking for software updates, changing quality settings, converting files to a different format, no help. I even upgraded to the 2016 Nero hoping maybe this would solve the problem. It did not not. In the past year I've tried Nero on three different computers. An Acer laptop, an HP laptop (the one I'm currently typing on), and a desktop put together by my upstairs neighbor. The glitches appeared in all three instances. Below is a few screen grabs to illustrate my point. Is the problem Nero?? The Computer(s)?? Both?? I don't think it has to do with the format of the videos since this has been occurring with basically every video I've tried converting regardless of format. I'm possibly considering switching to Cyberlink PowerDirector should I not find away around this.

Has the original 1995 anime (non enhanced CGI) ever had a decent HD release?

Just wondered if anyone can chime in and let me know if it is an any way possible to fix progressive footage that wasn't properly IVTC or de-interlaced before.

I have a lot of frames that look like this:



My gut tells me no, but I know the avisynth wizards may have some tricks I don't know about.

Hello

I have just registered with the new year! I am interested in restoration from laserdiscs and VHS, mainly cartoon related and for beter preservation. I did know of you thanks to a post referring to PanUp in other forum, so I came quickly here and discovered a lot of interesting threads.

Well, we'll see what I can learn and even maybe contribute, but I am fairly new in the restoration.

Every end of the year I think about what's happened during the previous twelve months, trying to find the best things to remember, and errors to avoid; here I would write something about fan projects.

• everyone wants you to release your project as soon as possible, and obtain it immediately, but few ones want to help; I always say that a simple "go on", or even a critic if constructive, may seems a little thing, but could be important for us to keep going on
  
• leaving a project behind sometimes is beneficial, because it clears our minds and, when we will be back, we often have fresh ideas and techniques
  
• every day I discover something new that will help to fix, enchance, change, reconstruct a given movie; when it could be important for the community, I share the idea, technique, method, script, whatever - even if often nobody seems to care...
  
• some old friends from other forums, and brand new members, have joined us lately; this is very positive for us all, not only for their projects, but also for their personal thoughts and inputs
  
• I must stop to continue to start new projects without releasing the previously started ones... my promise for the 2017 is that I will (try to) change that!
