I continue to use it almost always, MultiAVCHD uses it... I think it's a great software, but someone told me the multiplexed files obtained by it could have some compatibility issues... what do you think?

OK, I must admit I wanted to watch it just because I saw "Sharknado" trailer on TV, and realized never watched an Asylum film before... so, even though I knew in advance that it would be a complete mess, I was courageous enough to proceed...
Well, what can I say? Even with an "Highlander" (the worst of them!) this flick can't be saved... first of all, the terrible CGI SFX... a talented nerd with his home computer could do them way better than this... cast, acting, music, all are very poor; locations are all similar - but I must admit there were two or three shots of natural beauty I liked...
So, again, if you think Battlefield Earth is a very bad movie, watch this one after, and you will surely change your mind!

[Image: the_arrival.png]
| PROJECTS: Released | In progress | Future | Mission & Setup |
Mission: to make "The DEFINITIVE Arrival" edition.
Video source: Blu-ray, DVD, Laserdisc.

Project info:
The Arrival on Blu-ray has some DNR, plus contrast problems and its color grading is different from previous versions on DVD and LD; it lacks also extras.
For this project, I will correct the contrast, then apply a 35mm grain plate to give the impression of a bit of more details; the DVD will be used as color reference for the color correction; all the DVD and laserdisc known extras will be added - still to be decided if it will be a BD-50, or two discs, one BD-25 with the movie in high definition, the other (BD-25 or AVCHD onto DVD-9) with extras.

- The Arrival - German KinoWelt DVD (for extras)
- The Arrival - Special Edition box set Laserdisc (for extras)

[request] Superman 2 and 3 1080i HDTV rips |

Apologies if this isn't the right place or manner to request these
I'm looking for the 16GB HDTV rips that were on usenet a few years back. They are 1080i and in the original aspect ratio, unlike some HDTV broadcasts of 3 which were cropped.
I believe the colours are superior to the blu ray, with a lot of detail being lost by blown out whites and other issues.
If anyone has these I would love to hear from them.
Thanks

I'd love to see the theatrical verison of this movie preserved. It's on DVD but not blu ray to my knowlege. I'm not sure if there is a HDTV broadcast that could be used to fill in the alternate footage that only exists in the theatrical version.

Ghost in the Shell - Ultimate Edition
While im not the worlds biggest anime fan but when one does come along that perks my interest, I normally saviour the experience.
This is all because of the film Ghost In the Shell.
Back in the 90's there was a slew of anime fever that rocked the U.K, there were Classics (Akira), there we're a few I really got a kick out of (Fist of the North Star), then some that I did not get on with (Urotsukidōji). It ran side by side with my Hong Kong action film period, with me being exposed to some truly owe inspiring and amazing works.
It was with the 1995 DVD release when I first saw Ghost In the Shell, and it knocked my socks off. It stands today as one of my favorate films of all time, and I regularly point people in its direction.
Over the years Ghost in the shell has had alot of releases and re-releases, with the 2007 Japanese Bluray being the last one that had me waving my cash at it, but alas I missed my opitunity.
Ive gone by over the years with a HDTV Rip in WMV format with a Japanese 5.1 mix and some decent subtitle's in the hopes of that definitive release on the horizon.
Late last year I got a copy of the U.K 25th aniversary Blu Ray. Great Picture (but windowboxed!), Uncompressed original language track in 2.0. Sadly it ends there. Really bad english DUB with missing SFX! and misspelled subtitles. While not as bad as Dub titles it is pretty bad to release in this mess.
Many fans in the westen hemesphere have uttered the works 'The Curse of Ghost In The Shell' at the shoddy release and re-releases, as soon as one thing is fixed another is added. Upscales, Mixed audio and Bad subtitles have all been the bane of Ghost in the Shell fans.
Then there's the 2.0 release....... I shall speak no more of this.
I have The Killer, Hard Boiled, The Dark Knight trilogy in the works, and a list of projects that could last me years. This was the next one on my list now the U.K disc has failed me.
So this list is the best elements available over the releases, Underlined if I have it. I need help filling it up with the best. Then maybe we could put together an Ultimate Edition.
Will update list with the best elements over the course of the project.
VIDEO:
HDTV 1080p, Highly compressed, artifacts
US/U.K 25th anniversary. Good, softer than the HDTV, Same as the Japanese release but a more recent encode
AUDIO:
Japanese U.S/U.K 25th anniversary uncompressed 24bit 2.0 Theatrical Mix.
Japanese DTS 6.1 from R1 DVD
English DTS EX 6.1 from R1 DVD
English 2.0 from the Japanese BD release.
SUBTITLES:
HDTV source unknown, probably the R1 DVD?
EXTRAS:
"Production Report" featurette - R1 DVD
"Digital Works" featurette - R1 DVD
Theatrical Trailers Various Releases.
So over all the releases in the world what are the best / missing elements?
Does anybody have the R1 DVD Release?
NOTE: A small batch of the R1 DVDs was released with a fault on the DTS tracks resulting in no LFE (subwoofer) output (the 5.1 and 2.0 tracks are fine).
This is true as it is the release I got my hands on! I will take the LFE channel from the Dolby Digital Tracks.

_,,,^..^,,,_ presents: SUPERNOVA (2000) [spoRv]
[Image: supernova_logo.jpg]
| PROJECTS: Released | In progress | Future | Mission & Setup |
Mission: to release Supernova in High Definition Blu-ray format.
Video sources: 2x HDTV
Audio sources: DVD
Subtitles sources: DVD
Project info:
Even if "Supernova" could not be considered a masterpiece, I like it, as many of us... no Blu-ray is ever released, so it's time to make a proper high-definition version.
There are two HDTV broadcasts around, one scandinavian and the other russian; both are 1920x1080 2.35:1 25fps; they have different color grading but, apart that and according to preliminary tests, they match 100%; if it proves true, I'll overlay them to average compression artifacts and obtain a better quality without using nasty noise reduction; result color is also better than both single version; video then will be slowed down to 23.976fps.
All five languages are taken from the PAL DVD; they are all Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks; they are converted from 25fps to 23.976fps; if I'll be able to find out the English Cinema DTS track, it will be included as main track.
Subtitles for all five languages are from PAL DVD.
