Hello all,

I'm excited to be a new user to this awesome website!

Hi!

I am currently working on a Superman IV restoration.

I have restored several deleted scenes that in poor condition, removing the dust, scratches…

But I cannot restore the tornado and the missile scenes because they have missing effects.

Does anyone know where to get the laserdisc rip of Superman IV?

Thanks and best regards,

Fuinki

Hi all!
I'm new over here. I just found out about these projects and they are awesome guys! Keep these fantastic projects going

Thank you.

Hi, just stumbled on this site and hoping to find some great movies.
As I find fan made restorations better than the official releases.

I posted about this on the forum in one of the threads before, but in case some of you missed it:

Due to the amount of people who make their accounts on the forum only to spam private messaging inboxes of our project makers, we have decided to add an additional restriction to PM system. Starting 28th June, in addition to posting on the forum, your account needs to be older than 60 days, in order to send private messages. This is subject to change (to 90 days or even more) if we notice that this doesn't stop people from abusing PMs.

Please understand, that when you want something, it's one thing to be an active, long-time member of a community, and another thing to be a random person on the internet.

Hi Everyone, newbie here. Love the thread and see how can i contribute.
See u in a bit and thanks for accepting me.

Ciao.

So I've recently ramped up collecting blu-ray remasters of old action flicks I enjoy - films like Stone Cold or Navy Seals (the Vinegar Syndrome remaster is quite good) - and that got me perusing for extended cuts that I've never seen. After watching the excellent Unrated Cut of Hard Target from Kino Lorber, I started digging and realized that so many of these cuts have never made it past their DVD phase.

Long story short, that digging led me to this nifty niche forum. I admire those of you putting in the work to bring some of these movies into the HD era, and I hope we can have some convos and maybe you'll share some of your work with me. I also hope to learn something about remastering/restoring myself, so that one day, perhaps, I can contribute more than just words to this repository of cinema.

That's all. This is me saying howdy, and I can't wait to get pedantic about movies with y'all soon.

UPDATE 28-July-2024

Ok I'll try getting this rolling now. Below is an introduction to the project and instructions on how people to start volunteering.

Will start posting the link around forums with people interested in movies. Hopefully there is some interest.
Thanks to everyone on here. I'll keep this post updated on my progress and maybe prove this as a successful method to create subtitles to obscure movies.

Hello,

I'm new to this forum (and forum posting in general). If I'm doing something wrong / saying something wrong, I apologies please note it to me.

Passionnément (2000) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119866/) is an obscure French movie with Charlotte Gainsbourg and Bruno Nuytten (one of the most successful French cinematographers) as a director and writer. This is one of three films directed by him and one of which is Camille Claudel (1998) - well received and a great watch

There seems to be one way to view the movie and it's to buy the DVD from French amazon, which I purchased. It looks to be produced and distributed by Studio Canal with DVD being released in oct 2009 (I think). Googling quickly just now, there is a pirate rip uploaded to a Russian website which looks identical to my version.

I'm interested in producing French and English subtitles, as I'm not French-speaking. DVD offers only French dubbing and no subtitles.

Vanan services gave me a quote of 1020USD (discount from 1176USD just cus they're cool ) for production of French and English captioning. Pricing is reasonable for professional captioning and matches other providers of this service, but is not really reasonable for my personal viewing.

Trying out an AI captioning service produce low quality subtitles at a fraction of the price. A French random discord user reviewed them and said some lines are nonsense.

I'm hoping there is interest in this film and some of you can guide me on how to accomplish producing the subtitles and sharing them. Again, apologies if I'm posting this in a wrong forum section.

Thank you

I'm interested in watching old movies and found this forum randomly by surfing the web. I'm impressed with the community's amount of dedication and technical abilities.

Hope I can be of some use to you all.

What is this?
Between 2005 and 2008, television studio Nickelodeon aired the very popular cartoon show Avatar: The Last Airbender. However, while pitching the show to Nickelodeon back in 2004, the creators of the show produced an eleven-minute pilot episode, the plot of which was not to be part of the overall series, but just a generic adventure for the main characters of the show, and to show the elements of bending and establish the world. This pilot was received positively by test audiences and the show was green-lit.

The pilot episode was never aired on television, but was included as a bonus feature on the DVD release of Book 1: Water, and in 2018 it was also included as a bonus feature on the show's Blu-Ray release. On DVD and Blu-Ray, however, the only available audio track was a commentary track by show creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. In 2010, the pilot episode was also released on iTunes, this time in lower picture quality, but with the original audio track.

What did I do to it?
The pilot episode was originally animated at 24 frames per second. However, on both the DVD and the Blu-Ray releases, the episode is shown in 30fps, with interlaced frames resulting from a 3:2 pulldown process. Depending on the video player and settings used, this would result in a blurry image, a stuttering image or strange artifacts in the video.

Video
I wanted to present this episode in the highest quality I could given the available sources. I manually went through the episode, shot by shot, and reversed the telecine process, producing a crisp, correct image at 24 frames per second. I then upscaled that image to 1080p.
Apart from this video track, the original video track from the Blu-Ray is also included.

Audio
Both the original audio track (from the iTunes version) and the commentary track (from the Blu-Ray) are included.

Subtitles
I added both English and Dutch optional subtitles to the episode.

Bonus
I included a ten-page document in PDF-format explaining the technical process of making this in more detail.
I also included all programs and scripts used to make this, so that in future others might improve upon my work.

Where can I get it?
Please, only download this if you own the Avatar: The Last Airbender on Blu-Ray.
