[request] a clean up of the best 80s and 90s shows the ones with the most issues tmnt 1987,the real ghostbusters,thundercats,silverhawks,inspector gadget etc.

What do you think? Should I convert the LPCM track into FLAC? It is Bluray compilant and would save space on the disc.

Anyone think they can fix the nightmare on elm street blu ray set? It has black crush it's missing the uncut versions of 1,5,6. Also does anyone think they can get the original audio tracks. ps. please remove my post in the restorations the was a mistake i meant to put it here.

I wonder if anyone knows how I can change the functionality of buttons within a bluray menu?

I have created a bluray menu in Encore, only to come up against the hurdle of being allowed 8 audio tracks maximum. I know I can add additional tracks after the bluray is compiled, which I can navigate to with the audio selection button on the remote, but they will have no means of selection from the menu.

I want to be able to add buttons for the extra audio tracks to the menu, and link them to one of the 8 that I am allowed in Encore as a placeholder. Then add the additional audio tracks after the disc is compiled. After this, I want to redirect the buttons to the newly added audio tracks.

I'm not sure if this is possible. I know how to alter the appearance of buttons with bdedit, but not what they do.

If you can help, please chime in, I would really appreciate it.

Hey,

Does anyone have remote for that player for sale? Or could tell me what remote could I get as replacement to get all the same functionality?

A superior 4k version was released officially and made this "fixed version" of mine obsolete, so consider it abandoned. You can buy the new 4k release and forget the previous Shout Factory Blu-Ray. I leave this thread here for archival purposes.

Special thanks to DoomBot and MrBrown.

Quote:1, Brightness / contrast needs to be fixed as its too bright (Mgm release was too dark with black crush and zoomed aspect ratio)
2, Blue lines (print emulsion damage) need to be erased and fixed as much as possible in numerous scenes.
3, Blown Out David 14 computer graphic needs to be fixed
4, Moire effect behind Snake in Hauk's office makes the picture look like it is alive.
5, All tracks from original spoRv version need to be synced.

Does anyone have the old Anchor Bay release of AOD? Its the one that had both the widescreen and open matte. I was looking to get a copy of the open matte to try to upscale.

Hello, everyone!

So this is something of a mystery to me. When Disney released the Swedish dub of the Special Edition, they rerecorded the opening narration for some reason. I can certainly understand why they rerecorded the Swedish dub for Snow White, Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan, but the same can't be said about Beauty and the Beast and as of right now, the only way to see the true theatrical version is a Swedish pre-Special Edition VHS release. Let's change that.

Here is the official Swedish dub as heard on the official Blu-ray (and first premiered on the 11th of October, 2002).
And here is the first track of the Swedish soundtrack, which contains the original Swedish narration as first heard on the 20th of November, 1992. My request is simply to restore the original Swedish narration for Beauty and the Beast, because I myself don't have the means to the restoration myself. Can somebody please help?

I've been informed there is a tv version of Mumm-Ra Lives on Amazon. Edited down from the first 3 parts of the 5 part series. It has some scenes not present and a special title card not including the "part 1" present on the individual episodes.

Amazon have no doubt been sent an incorrect master, and I would like to preserve this version as I was unaware it existed until now.

If anyone has amazon and can help me get this captured, please reply, thanks.

Hi guys

 I ended up poking around with SVP (smooth video player) after finding out that Star Trek DS9 and Voyager may not get bluray releases for the foreseeable future.
I was very happy with the improvement it gives but wanted a permanent file with even higher quality and ended up reading about some of the results on the Original Trilogy site and was impressed to say the least. So getting the best of these Trek DVD's is my main goal.

I'm hoping to try PaNup, super resolution, frame doubling, colour correction, semi automated 3D conversion and adding "SVPlight" permanently in the black bars amongst other things. So it will take me months and months to get up to speed with infrequent spare time available.

Anyway I like alot of the project's going on in there so thought I should say hello. I grew up with 80's and 90's Action, Thriller and SciFi being my favourite stuff so I plan on following a few projects here.
