Any good, but not super expensive, audio interfaces that you would recommend. Must have is a digital optical audio in, for bit perfect ld captures. Nice to have features would be usable with headphones. I found Zoom U44, but this product is no longer available. Any alternatives?

Must work with mac and possible usable with Playstation for Headphone/Microphone.

Open for suggestions

Hi, I'm bob. I'm 18, and I am rather obsessed with perceived visual quality, and I frequently dabble in my own fan restorations of films, although, not all of them are, well, something I'd like presenting here.

Hello I’m new here and I’m happy there’s still places like this with stuff that are usually lost forever this days

BD audio has been noise reduced and cleaned up.  LD sounds warm and authentic.  PM me for link.

You like Blood? Violence? Freaks of nature? Well then come on down!

I just discovered this magical place. And I would love to share in the revelry.

Just stumbled upon this site looking at some Jackie chan films since i was a fan of his growing up. general film nerd, hope to see some more great releases from the amazing people here

I love Rocky (1976). I would love to find a version of this masterpiece in high quality in its original open-matte format. As far as I know, the original DVD as well as several LaserDiscs were released in this ratio. Subsequent releases, including the beautiful Blu-Ray and 4K home releases, have only been in the original 1.85:1 theatrical release. My only saving grace--and this is a real Hail Mary--is that it was perhaps aired on TV in the early 2000s in 1080i and uncropped. We were fortunate to have that happen with True Lies (1994) and the Matrix (1999) and others. Conspicuously, these releases were much close to the era of HDTV. Anyone have any clue of whether or not a movie from the Rocky-era would've been aired on HDTV?

Comparison by me of what the open-matte frames look like, sourced from an old trailer. I happen to think they look gorgeous.

P.S. I am new here--If there are more obvious resources for me to check out, please let me know. It looks like more discussion has been about finding the LaserDisc version for audio reasons.
