Many of you guys and gals have probably seen this already on your travels but I thought I'd share this entertaining thread from Film-Tech:

A guy mentions his work on Home Theater Mixes and gets roasted for it  

At the end of it all, no one is any the wiser about anything.

In posting a rather humorous little video from YouTube, the default for inserting it into the post was for HTTP. Since FR upgraded to HTTPS, references (pictures, video) with HTTP: do not show the media, but only the links. With the defaults updated, they would at least serve as a warning for the unwary poster of the proper type to use. Perhaps adding some code to change any HTTP entry to HTTPS would work as well? (Keep in mind that while most website will respond to HTTPS, some do not support HTTPS, which would result in nothing or an error.)

There might be other instances, in different areas of the forum, that have not been updated to HTTPS defaults and probably those should be updated, too.

Or, as the Hungarian translation book would say, "I will not buy this record. It is scratched."  

I came across this ...

Hoping someone can clarify something.

From my understanding, Highlander 3 got two releases on home video. A directors cut with upgraded special effects and an international cut.

Was there ever a US theatrical cut? If so, was it released anywhere?

Hi, was there a T2 (Special Edition) 4X3 DVD ever released?

There is a bad rip/capture of T2 in XviD in NTSC resolution, but PAL fps and the fps goes down to ~12 fps for some parts and I would like to know the source for this rip/cpature. Anyone know?

From the file, the resolution seems DVD quality. Thank you.

I thought this would be an interesting read for some of us: Videotapes are becoming unwatchable as archivists work to save them

They mention a tape preservationist group, anyone has ever heard of them?

This is just a quick project that apperantly will take me only few hours to finish, but decided to share.

Simply took the 720p open matte HDTV copy of Showgirls available, upscaled it to 1440p, filtered, sharpened, denoised, downscaled to 1080p, overlaid with clear Bluray copy (with reduced Chroma noise).

This just needs to be rendered now with .avisynth script and it's ready, except it'll take ~20 hours to do, so I am not in rush with doing so now

Has anyone here been watching the Twin Peaks revival? I think it's pretty good so far (although perhaps a little indulgent in the weirdness).
