I hope this is the right spot for this.

I recently got the 1993 comedy Fatal Instinct on Blu Ray, which hasn't seen a proper widescreen release since Laserdisc. Much to my dismay, two songs were inexplicably replaced on the soundtrack, Iron Butterfly's in-a-gadda-da-vida, and Van Morrison's Brown Eyed Girl.

Brown Eyed Girl was originally played over the closing credits, and was replaced with an extension of the movie's score, but whatever they replaced  in-a-gadda-da-vida with sounds nothing like it at all.

There is no mention anywhere on the disc or packaging that this was done either. To make matters worse,  in-a-gadda-da-vida is referenced by the characters in the film, and mentioned on the commentary ported over from the 2003 full frame DVD. (Which also has the songs intact.) You can still hear the songs on the commentary track, so this is just baffling and annoying as heck that this sort of thing still goes on in 2016.

Are there any other movies recently reissued where this has happened?

Does anyone own this yet?

What is your opinion on the colour timing?

Going by these screencaps I'm not sure I like the less saturated, muted colours.

What do you guys think, and does anyone know how this would have looked theatrically?

I am extremely tempted to build one of these machines, but I do not have space at my place currently. What you guys think?

Hey all,

I'm trying to get a better understanding of CEE Bluray releases. It would seem a fair amount of folks tend to prefer them over others? Would someone kindly lay out the pro's and con's of CEE vs. R1 releases please?

Thank you.

So I'm thinking of getting a flatbed film scanner for telecine work. What model would you recommend?

Title says it all. I'm looking to convert some old PAL DVDs to 23.976fps and looking for the best way to do it. I used dvd2avi to convert to 25p and then vdub to slow down to 23.976 but to resulting video still looks too "fast" like it is still running at 25fps. So I was wondering if any of you fine folks had a better method.

Does anyone know someone who is willing to share the original German dub of Snow White? Or at least parts of it, so I can reconstruct it?

This movie popped in my head today and I started doing some digging. I'd like to purchase the 2009 US BD, which has a DTS HD MA 5.1 track that supposedly sounds and a lossy DD 2.0 track. Of course, I'm not satisfied with those options and would like to sync the Criterion LD PCM 2.0 to the BD. There's a region 2 UK BD that has a PCM 2.0 as a supplemental track but I don't know if it's the same as the Criterion LD.

Anyone got this audio?

A friend asked me which movies he should get from iTunes, that aren't available on Blu-ray.
I honestly have no idea. He told me that he already asked on another board, but his question didn't get much attention.
So I'm asking you guys to help him get some goodies for us all
