So, I loved the open matte look of Top Gun, and I know the film was shot with CinemaScope in mind (but filmed in 4:3 safe for 1.66:1).
Now, I hope someone can make an Ultimate Open Matte Version of the film similar to the work in the Wizarding World Ultimate Definitive Editions.

My idea is that the film will be the same theatrical cut, but in a constant open matte ratio of 16:9 (nothing was cropped for the 16:9 open matte).
It will use the 2020 4K remaster as a basis for the video, with AutoOverlay being used on top of an AI upscaled version of the 16:9 open matte release.
And there can also be an alternate 4:3 version as well.

The audio available would be the following:
English: Dolby Stereo FLAC 2.0 (1986 Dolby Stereo 35mm Two-Track mix)
English: Dolby Digital 5.1 (1986 Dolby Stereo 70mm Six-Track mix)
English: Dolby TrueHD EX 5.1 (2004 5.1 remix)
English: DTS-HD MA 6.1 Discrete (2004 6.1 remix)
English: Dolby Atmos (2020 Dolby Atmos remix)

It should be done in both SDR and HDR just like the Wizarding World open mattes.
And since Dolby Vision metadata can be extracted from the UHD Blu-ray with no enhancement layer, it can be injected to the HDR open matte.

Voice-over: Krasimir Nyagolov

When we were looking for the Hong Kong Laserdisc, Danail approached us, asking if we were interested in getting a voice-over for the project, it was something that took us by surprise, because in our research, we didn't get this material anywhere, We can't even see it on any page that details who did it, or if it really existed. This voice-over practice is quite popular in the communist bloc. Thanks and credits to Danail for this gem.

This capture from Laser-Video Entertainment Ltd Hong Kong Laserdisc [LVMW 0149] was presented to us by Erwin (Laserdisc 1) & Ikusa-One (Laserdisc 2), our sincere thanks to them.

According to our investigation, this is the first time this Laserdisc has been shared over the internet.

Something that we have not yet gotten information is that, we do not know if this is the original dubbing or the redoubling, since we also have the Cantonese version of ATV. However, we do not have the date of when each dubbing was released, nor which studio dubbed them.

On the other hand, we know that the Mandarin dubbing is on a pirated Blu-ray in stores in Taiwan & Hong Kong, we need a contact that we can order to buy it there and send it to us in physical or digital file.

We bought this capture of the VHS Transeuropa from an Argentine collector, who digitized it and sent us the file. This digitization was carried out in the most optimal conditions.

As of today, it is the version with the highest audio quality existing on the internet for the first dubbing, we attach the audio of the original rip & the audio improvement made by our great SrQesito, for the final version the noise will be reduced by default.

1. Made 60fps screen caps of the opening/closing credits of the Japanese version
   
2. Painstakingly did a frame-by-frame reconstruction of said credits, so that they could properly convert to 23.976fps
   
3. Paid HKR to clean up those credits
   
4. Color correct the beginning/end credits to match the Miramax HD version
   
5. Then, create the reconstruction. Everything between the opening/end credits is the Miramax HD version.
   

Hello everyone, this is my first post and I'm happy to be part of this community.

I'm really into fan edits of some of my favorite films and recently I've been following some fan projects pertaining to the Harry Potter series. I first discovered the JJPotter edits of the films a while back and those are pretty sick, but now I'm more interested in the "ultimate definitive editions" by Klexos that are currently in the works.

Just wanted to say that the work some of you guys do is insane!
I'll be forever thankful for letting me relieve some of the best films of my childhood, at the quality I see them through my nostalgia-tinted glasses.

Hi all, I picked up a Spanish DVD of a very rare film, Wilder's Buddy, Buddy, which is the only known release. However it seems to be an old LD or VHS era master so it's scope widescreen, nonanamorphic, interlaced and in PAL with very low resolution. It looks almost like an old LD capture attempt with low end gear.
I was wondering if there's an easy way to get it to NTSC without speedup and make that anamorphic. It still won't look pretty but this the only version outside the 1981 MGM vhs/beta/CED.

I am very interested in learning about your projects, I currently have a multi-dubbing megaproject that seeks to achieve the best existing audio and video quality, all for its preservation, we also put together all the subtitles (full, forced, SDH).

Attached the social networks of the project, it would be a pleasure to meet you all.
