Hi,

I was wondering, has anyone here considered converting the 1991 "Partial Restoration" laserdisc of "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" onto DVD's? 

I realize this version has since been superseded by the criterion "Restoration"; but the 1991 "partial restoration" is the cut of the film I grew up with, and is the cut of the film I prefer, for a number of reasons.

So, I just was wondering if anyone here has ever considered this, and, if anyone would be willing to do such a project.

Thanks!

Jessica.

Hello All,

My name is Jessica. 32 y/o Aspie, Film Buff...... have all sorts of neat stuff in my collection and glad to be here on Fanres Forums!

I'm currently working on a trailer re-edit for the US trailer of Dead Alive.
So far, things look pretty good in the editing department  
But I need a bit of help for the credits of the trailer. If someone can jump in
and help re-create them, that would be fantastic. The credits are static, so
no animation is needed.

Here is a picture from them



Thanks for any assistance  

So I was just wondering if anyone has advice as to what the best freeware 265 encoder is out there right now.

Now the 5.1 mix on the Blu-ray is actually quite nice. But the original theatrical
mix however is mono. Luckily some LaserDisc got that audio on them. I specifically
looking for a capture of the digital PCM mono mix from this LaserDisc.

If someone has it and can share it, this would be wonderful. If possible please
supply a videocapture too. It will help syncing it too the Blu-ray.

Thanks in advance

Yesterday I watched The Amazing Spider-Man on BD, and there was a mib 3 trailer; interesingly, it contains a brief scene not included in the movie (a "graffiti'' alien called Flaco).
OK, just maybe ten seconds, but, AFAIK there are no deleted scenes available, it will be nice to have it reinserted in the movie - just a kind of work a fanres user would do...

Thoughts?

The movie got re-released by Universal in a new "Restored" version.
However that only goes for the video. Unfortnatly Universal didn't see
any reason to include the original mono mix of the movie. So it's our
only change to get it from the LaserDisc. I'd say the best version would be
the widescreen edition -> LD-15101-WS

Anyone has this baby at hand and could provide a bit-perfect capture?
If possible with captured video, to make the sync easier.

For more information about the 2016 restored Blu-ray release, look here.

Thanks in advance

On a German Blu-ray forum they discuss about a possible new release
of the movie here in Germany. Since I'm quite happy with the 25th Anny.
release from MGM in terms of video, I'd love to add the audio from
the THX LD to it.

Anyone can jump in with a bit-perfect capture?

Is there a problem on how the forum handles picture links, because all pictures just show the link?

Guys/Girls, what about a new project in which we gather the movie logos in the highest
possible quality, so they can be used on various projects? I bet this would help many
creators saving time to hunt down certain logos for their projects.

- How do we present them?
We give as much information as possible, like year, length, quality, resolution,
a/v codec usage, possibly the source and a screenshot.

- Can logos be shared when they are re-created?
Of course, if the quality matches the original presentation. Project files can be shared,
but they must include all assets, incl. fonts, etc.

What codec need the logo to be shared in?
The goal for re-created logos must be 1080p and in various aspect ratios, with lossless a/v output.
I suggest animation codec. While it's old, it's still perfect to guarantee no issues to work on Mac or Windows.
If you choose to supply ProRes, only use official codecs from Apple.
The FFMPEG created ProRes files in my experience tend to be problematic at times. So better stay away from them.

If sourced from VHS/LD/DVD/Blu-ray/Film Scans they also need to be in lossless a/v.

And here is my first contribution to this thread  :victory:
