  Scream Director's Cut
Posted by: alleycat - 2022-05-19, 09:51 PM - Forum: Released - Replies (6)

[Image: iMjilvgl.jpg]

The Director's Cut of Scream has around 6 seconds of uncut footage. It was released on laserdisc and in Germany/Japan on DVD, however it has never been released on Blu Ray.

For this project I used the most recent Blu Ray, which was released at the same time as the UHD. For the uncut sequences I used the German DVD, they were upscaled to 2160p in Topaz, cleaned and taken back down to 1080p. The footage suffered from baked in interlacing artefacts and Topaz actually did a good job of fixing these. The footage was then regrained using the grain from the blu ray, which was extracted and overlayed in AE. Finally it was regraded to match the blu ray color.

The blu ray footage was altered slightly as it looked a bit too bright to my eyes, I used a partial CRT LUT to reduce the red a little and played around with the highlights, whites and exposure.

The video was then synced to the PCM and AC3 tracks from the laserdisc (thanks @williarob and @little-endian). Just to confirm there were two scenes that were slightly shorter in the Laserdisc DC when compared to the blu ray footage so these have been edited so they match the laserdisc. From memory it was two instances of around 20-30 frames.

Finally I put together a separate disc of extra features, I tracked down several different DVDs for this and have included pretty much everything that is out there.

  • 2 x BD25 with animated menus, background video, pop up menus and resume function
  • 1080P AVC Video
  • English 2.0 PCM and English 5.1 AC3 Laserdisc Audio
  • German 5.1 DVD AC3
  • Audio Commentary with Director Wes Craven and Writer Kevin Williamson
  • English SDH and German Subtitles
  • Scream: The Inside Story
  • Still Screaming: The Ultimate Scary Movie Retrospective
  • Behind The Scream featurette
  • A Bloody Legacy: Scream 25 Years Later featurette
  • Production featurette
  • On The Scream Set
  • Behind the Scenes with Drew Barrymore

This is a really well done disaster movie, the South Korean Towering Inferno. As far as I am aware it's only been releasd on Blu Ray in Germany and it's not English friendly. I've taken that release and combined it with the US DVD to create a special edition blu ray with the following:

  • Reworked Menu, background video, pop up menu and resume function
  • Untouched 1080P AVC Video
  • Korean And German 5.1 DTS-HD Audio
  • English 5.1 DVD AC3
  • English, German and Dutch subtitle options
  • Deleted Scenes
  • Making Of
  • Behind The Scenes
  • Trailer

Thanks to @MrBrown for finding the disc for me.

  Terminator 2 HBO Max
Posted by: borisanddoris - 2022-05-16, 03:57 PM - Forum: Movies, TV shows and other - Replies (21)

So I noticed this week that T2 was available. To my surprise, it started with the old Tristar logo!  There is definite grain in the image and to my eyes, looks pretty nice but feels like it’s some old master. 

Anyone with more familiarity with the film care to chime in?  I’ve got no way to capture it but if you HBO Max, take a peek!

Hi all,

I swear I had seen a post but cannot find anything via search.
Does anyone have the 2.0 and LD 5.1 audio please?
Ideally synced to the 4k or the 3D blu.
Thanks

  Overboard 1987 LD audio

Anybudy have these LDs and ways to cap their audio?

https://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/46119/G78F5578/Overboard

Would like to sync up to the Severin BD as the audio on that is faulty (they used the same audio track from MGM's HD master where sections go back and forth between mono and stereo).

  Considering upgrading to 4K tv on a budget
Posted by: captainsolo - 2022-05-10, 09:29 PM - Forum: Everything else... - Replies (10)

I’m tired of missing out on UHDs and hdr. Not to mention only being able to review 1080p discs. The technical upgrades every year have made me keep waiting for bugs to be worked out and prices to come down.
I’m thinking about finally going for the 55” Sony a80j oled since they’ve been marked down. My concern would then be the new quantum dot oled panels coming out for 2022 but it seems the prices will be astronomical for now.
I would get a Panasonic UHD player and Down convert UHDs to my plasma but those players are already very expensive and I’m sick of the headaches with my Panasonic plasma-meaning I rarely if ever use it.

I was just wondering what everyone’s experience here has been with 4K TVs. I think I’ve driven myself crazy with reviews and videos thinking about upgrading for years now.

  Q. No Escape (1994)
Posted by: wongfeihung - 2022-05-09, 01:12 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (3)

I have the Umbrella (AU) Blu-ray and it's 2.0 stereo.

But the age-old HBO DVD (US) had a 5.1 track and the credits list the films as Dolby Stereo Digital.

Anyone know if this was 5.1 in theatres?

And if the German BD's 5.1 track is legit?

Thanks.

  The Ugly Dachshund - Original Mono Preservation

After hunting down several DVDs only to discover they all have remixed audio, I have finally secured the original mono audio sourced from the VHS. It never had and LD release, and a blu-ray is unlikely, so this is the only source of the original audio ever released. It is synced to the HD web-dl.

Thanks to Doctor M for helping me secure a higher quality web-dl. And special thanks to crissrudd4554 for transferring the audio and video from the VHS.
