Well, as a lot of you must know, the theatrical release of "Dracula" of John Badham had fantastic live colors although Badham wanted to film in b/w.

The first Laserdisk release had the theatrical color.

But, in theory due to the pressures of the director, all subsequent editions including DVD and BD, were modified by attenuating the colors.

Well, my request is to recover the orginal colors from the first edition of Laserdisk or some copy of 8mm (there exist).

Greetings  

I'm a spanish fan of the cinema in general, and 80 fantasy/horror/fantastic in particular.

I have a big collection of originals DVD and BD (near of 3.000) but in my country, Spain, many films hot have their own edition or one very poor quality edition.

So, I love the custom editions made by fans

I belive that is an amazing work.

Greetings.

Tired of searching on lddb every time you need to know something about a Star Wars laserdisc?

I thought to gather all Star Wars laserdisc releases in one place; hope you'll find it useful!

Hello everyone from FanRes.com, my name is Ben Roderick and I've always interested of doing a filmic look on animated TV shows like an anime show or a traditionally Western animated show. So, that's why I'm doing a proposal to show you my color grade of these animated TV shows.

What I do is to rip from any promo or bumper from an action animated block called Toonami and I converted these videos by using Freemake Video Converter (1080p!), then I do some video shaders from one of the popular video players: MPC-HC (Media Player Classic - Home Cinema) and do a codec filter called ffdshow by fully modifying the video and then I save an image from one of my videos and then I go to the Adobe Photoshop and I use an adjustment to making it an filmic approach to any anime or Western animated show.

Let me show you an example and I hope you will understand:

Pretty cool, huh? This is why I called "inspiration" because of you guys who been doing these good transfers from any movie to make any DVD/BD transfer better.

@ Ben Roderick

P.S. Is this proposal against the rules? Please tell me!

a few month ago the movie was aired on german tv in it's uncut version,
which is not available on home video anywhere. the movie was shown in sd and hd,
though i believe the hd version just an upconvert. anyway, i've captured both streams  :cool:  
now i wondered if we can create a version without a logo and with english audio.

what ya say?

hello friends,

what can i say... i'm a trailer nut and some of you may know me from movie-list.com and my trailer
reconstruction projects. since the old forum is gone and reborn here, i surely had to come here

so lets get on

Hello,
I'm a classic film fan who dabbles in fixing up DVD's and Blu's in my collection usually using avisynth. I'm always interested in learning more.

So the other day Buster D emailed me about Full Metal Jacket pcm i synced. The sync was perfectly fine other then a small glitch in the original ld rip that was easily fixed. The other problem was the very end of the movie or end of the LD pcm file. This occurred when muxing the pcm with the movie in tsMuxeR. Tsmuxer would add a loud 300ms or so noise at the end of the pcm file. I demuxed a pcm from a movie i didn't sync which was Batman, PDB synced this LD. Same loud noise at the end of the file. Buster D wrote me back and said even LDs he synced then demuxed had the same problem. Yes i have tried the newest tsMuxeR with the same results.
You could just go into setting (splitting/cutting)  in tsMuxeR to remove part of it getting rid of the noise.

Here's what the noise looks like....[Image: Capture_452.jpg]


Could you guys maybe demux some movies with LD pcm files and open them in a audio editing program to see if the same thing is happening?
