  2010: The Year We Make Contact (1984) - Theatrical Teaser Trailer - Fan Remaster
Posted by: bendermac - 2022-11-16, 11:16 PM - Forum: Released - No Replies

For this restoration I've used a complete new approach. Denis Carl Robidoux has posted the scan of a 35mm print of this teaser. All elements you see in my restoration are used from this print. I used Photoshop to mask, copy and clean it. Kinda created newly, which gives this very pristine look. The only real thing I've re-created is the copyright info unter the 2010 number. The quality on the print was not good enough to salvage.
The original 35mm print was FLAT, but the movie is scope. So I've created a scope version of the teaser. The audio is the untouched audio from optical track provided by Denis.

Here is my version


and for comparison, here is Denis's 35mm scan

  New OLED tv headaches: av sync problems and other setup
Posted by: captainsolo - 2022-11-16, 08:13 PM - Forum: General technical discussions - Replies (30)

I finally got an oled after years of reading reviews and saving up. I went with the Sony a80j for the better handling of motion and SD content.
I got it for an absurdly cheap price with a gift card and the panel seems perfect in terms of the gray slides checks. I disabled all the additional processing but ran into a major problem just like my Panasonic plasma: Audio and lip sync issues no matter what I do.

This is in the tv itself when not hooked to anything. It stays that way with my receiver and also when connected via ARC. Disabling the onboard tv AV sync does nothing. Turning off 24p does nothing which was the issue on my plasma. The only thing that seems to work is switching to game mode which immediately removes the lag though there might be a tiny fraction of lip sync issue left or it might be me playing tricks on myself. I tested a DVD upscaled and that seemed fine too.

This is the same on all inputs. I can only watch a movie in Game mode. I haven’t tried HDR yet because I got the tv first and planned to order a UB800 player when the prices dropped a little closer to Black Friday. I figured I could get the tv setup in SDR and get used to things first.

It does have analog in but of course it’s the 3.5mm to RCA jack and requires an adapter they didn’t provide. Is there a good one of these things to get that won’t degrade quality? Sony’s part site has one for $40.

The setup itself was pretty simple. Out of the box on Custom mode with a few tweaks is pretty accurate save for doing a professional calibration. Has anyone here ever set one up or might have any advice? The sync problem is ruining this tv and I’m now wondering if it might be a panel issue meaning I might have to hurry up and do a return swap.

  Splash Disney +

So it was cut and with the world's cheapest CG cover ups.
Now it's 4k and fully uncut, it's been ripped and is on the net also.
Looks amazing, sadly Adventures in Babysitting is cut and HD still.

  Blade Runner US Theatrical Cut Mix
Posted by: Endocryne - 2022-11-08, 08:21 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - No Replies

I found out a 35mm 4k Scan Of The US Theatrical Cut Of Blade Runner, The Optical Sound is very loud and had a lots of distortion, also it was in Mono.

Could someone try to sync the LD Or the 5.1 From The BD Collector's edition to the 35?

  Millennium (1996 FOX TV) HD Upscale
Posted by: TVArchive - 2022-11-08, 04:16 AM - Forum: Released - Replies (30)

Hello all, I'm new to this forum (and also on originaltrilogy), had a 20+ year television production career and have owned my own boutique video production company for the past 12 years. Long story short: the pandemic nearly wiped out my entire production business, so I pivoted to restoring and, where feasible, upscaling legacy content for clients worldwide (including Universal Records). 

I use a combination of broadcast and consumer equipment/software and squeeze everything I possibly can out of each project. Having been a long-time fan of FOX TV's "Millennium", I know it will never get a proper HD release from Disney, so I decided to tackle it myself.

Seasons 1 and 2 are complete, and I'm working my way through season 3. This series was shot with a LOT of purposeful noise/grain in places, and I did no DNR to stay as faithful as possible to the original intent. It's not perfect but it's probably as close as we'll ever get to an HD release. If anyone's interested, I'll update when the project is finished. Shooting for a pre-Thanksgiving release. Here are a few screenshots. Cheers to all!
