Hi all. i wanted to introduce myself and do so in a manner that doesn't sound too much like a craigslist personals ad. I'm just your normal, average film freak... just another 44 year old guy who still buys Star Wars toys and had no qualms spending as much money on my home theater screening room as I spent on the rest of our home. It's all about priorities.

As seen here (https://fanrestore.com/thread-1011-post-...l#pid20081), I'm working on recreating the uncensored version of Trainspotting with the superior (albeit censored) Lionsgate HD master. That being said, I'd like to include the original theatrical audio if possible.

Does anyone perchance own this Criterion Collection release of Trainspotting (http://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/07580/CC14...al-Edition)?

If so, is the audio (either the LPCM 2.0 or the DD 5.1) worth preserving as more theatrically accurate? The Lionsgate BD sounds good taken on its own, but I'm not too familiar with the film's audio history.

Thanks guys!

Project Info

When Lionsgate finally released Trainspotting on Blu-Ray in the U.S., fans were dismayed to find that two shots of sex and drugs, respectively, were censored, replaced with alternative material. Apparently, the use of this cut version was a complete error (albeit one that was never resolved); the US DVD previously had the uncensored version of Trainspotting. A comparison can be seen here: http://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=912549 (WARNING: NSFW photos).

However, the new US Lionsgate BD had what international BDs (JP, DE, CA, UK) of Trainspotting lacked- a brand new HD transfer, which truly looked better than anything previously released.

This project aims to recreate the uncensored version of Trainspotting, reinserting the uncut material from one of the international BDs into Lionsgate's HD transfer. The uncut shots will be color-corrected to match the BD. I tried to generate interest for this project about two years ago on ot.com, but finally feel confident that I have developed the skills to pull it off on my own.

sporv do think you could fix the nightmare on elm street blu ray set?

[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?

International Blu Ray cover (updated)


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.

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.
