The link appears only when there are one or more unread posts, with number of posts inside brackets; now, sometime I have a "View Unread Posts" link withouth brackets, and following it I go to a list of posts made by... me!?!
Thinking to upgrade the forum software soon, so maybe we'll get rid of this small bugs... but I'm a bit afraid of losing all data...

[Cancelled] Mad Max 2/Road Warrior Regrade (Warner 97 DVD and LD) |

Note: This thread is old and this project has changed a lot. I would suggest reading this first post then reading the latest postings and work your way back
Formally this was one regrade project, now it has two additional MM2/RW projects to form a Mad Max 2 Collection, similar to my Blade Runner collection
Project Info:
The basis of this project is to color regrade the Blu-ray (BD) to look more like the 1997 DVD and 1994 laserdisc (LD). The DVD unfortunately has a red/magenta bias which is similar to all early Warner DVDs. The LD, which uses the same master, is less red and tends more towards orange and yellow but is over saturated and has less stable black levels. Basically, both come from the same master but their individual details vary enough to make them each unique. So in the end, I will regrade this to the DVD but provide an alternative regrade to the LD.
Furthermore, the DVD grade was further modified by balancing the shadows and removing a bit of the red/magenta bias and re-balanced the colors and black level slightly with some small amount of luma recovered from the original BD. The LD has had it's black levels adjusted and some small amount of luma recovered from the original BD
Since members here wanted each of the titles preserve, Mad Mad 2 and Road Warrior, I decided to re-create the shorter the US Theatrical cut (aka the International cut) found on all media up until the BD using the DVD grade while the longer Mad Max 2 will use the laserdisc grade.

[request] True Romance... better quality possible? |

I understand that the current blu-ray release is subpar at best. I don't suppose there is any way to improve upon its quality in any way? This movie is one that only gets better as time goes by, in my opinion, yet the treatment it receives for home video releases would lead one to believe the opposite, and that's a damn shame!

My daughter wants a new computer, my goal is to purchase something economical yet able to play back HD movies that I can put on her hard drive. She can use KODI (XBMC) for file playback and she can use my external Blu-ray drive for discs. What do you guys think?
