  Sonic the Hedgehog Movies (2020-2022) Open Matte
Posted by: Hydra Spectre - 2023-02-27, 12:51 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - No Replies

So, open matte prints of the Sonic movies apparently air on Nickelodeon in the US.
And also in some Russian channels.
I hope someone can capture these open matte copies, maybe combine the Nickelodeon and Russian broadcasts to remove watermarks, and then overlay the 4K UHD or Blu-ray on top of the HDTV broadcasts to improve quality.
I believe that the Sonic movies would look better in IMAX-style open matte.

WHAT WE HAVE PROGRESSED SINCE OUR FIRST INVESTIGATION, WHICH STARTED MONTHS AGO

Data sheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...1721557612

Contact us to support us, provide information or learn about our other projects, PM or: metahades1889@gmail.com | https://linktr.ee/metahades | https://discord.gg/t5gf4R2W2U.

Please let us know if you have knowledge of information that we do not have on: best audios or subtitles (full, forced, descriptive for disabled), dubbing, voice-overs, rescores, covers, Music + Effects, among others.

New updates of what will be worked on for our definitive version of Akira that will be made public, all the dubbing in the world in its highest quality & all the existing subtitles, from our research.

This version uses the following formats: VHS, Laserdisc, TV, WEB-DL, DVD, Blu-ray, Blu-ray 4K, self-made.

Video: Dynit ITABD - Scoped Rip.

Dubbing + Voice-Overs: Bulgarian voice-over, Catalan, Catalan Valencian, Chinese Cantonese dub 1, Chinese Cantonese dub 2, Chinese Mandarin, Czech, English dub1 (1989), English dub2 (2001), French dub1 (1991), French dub2 remake (2011), Georgian voice-over, German dub1 (1991), German dub2 (2005), Hungarian, Italian dub1 (1992), Italian dub2 (2018), Japanese, Lithuanian voice-over, Persian, Polish voice-over, Portuguese (Brazil) dub1 (1992), Portuguese (Brazil) dub2 (1999), Portuguese (Brazil) dub3 (2002), Russian dub1 (2007), Russian dub2 (2021), Spanish (Argentina) dub1 (1992), Spanish (Mexico) dub2 (1999), Spanish (Mexico) dub3 (1999), Spanish (Mexico) dub4 (2019), Spanish (Spain) dub1 (1992), Spanish (Spain) dub2 (2002), Spanish (Spain) dub3 (2004), Thai, Ukrainian voice-over, Rescore (2022) - Humaniac, Rescore (2021) - Vortex, Rescore (2018) - The Firmament, Rescore (1999) - The Disco Biscuits, Music + Effects 5.1 (Extracted from Dynit ITABD), Music + Effects 2.0 (Extracted from Selecta Vision SPADVD).

▫️ NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan JAPBD 4K Hypersonic Japanese 5.1 audio will be parsed with the UKBD or JAPBD Japanese Hypersonic 5.1 audio (not the remastered version). Hydra told us that these audios are superior to what we have found.

▫️ We have found better audios from Hungarian dub, Polish voice-over, Thai dub & a new better quality audio capture from dub 4 (Netflix).

▫️ We received the Cantonese dub from Hong Kong laserdisc Laser-Video Entertainment Ltd HKLD [LVMW 0149] & the Bulgarian Island World Video BULVHS voice-over.

▫️ The Czech audio we initially got in AAC has been replaced with a new capture in PCM. We were also surprised by the existence of a Ukrainian voice-over.

▫️ We got the original audios of the Rescore: Humaniac, The Firmamente & The Disco Biscuits. We only need the Vortex score, which has already told us that it will send us a digital copy without loss of quality.

▫️ Makata will share his capture from Spanish (Mexico) dub3 (1999) (Locomotion).

▫️ Music & effects 2.0 from SPADVD and 5.1 from ITABD will be extracted, this will be a 2.0 version, with better quality.

▫️ The first dubbing (Argentine) will be captured from the VHS Plus with better conditions and tools, it will include a new restoration of our MrQesito.

▫️ We made comparisons of all the audios, to define the best, some examples: https://slow.pics/c/WkD9OWf0 | https://slow.pics/c/hrcuSwX7

▫️ Korean dubbing is lost media: https://namu.wiki/w/AKIRA

▫️ Also, we have more than 500GB of new ones that we have to download from DVDs and BDs that have been out for a few months, to use their audios and subtitles.

▫️ Oh surprise, in the release we will include the Manga in: Japanese, English, Croatian, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish & Thai. In addition to the soundtrack in its different versions and artbooks.

WHERE WE NEED INFORMATION AND/OR SUPPORT (contact me, everything counts)

▫️ 3 subtitles are hardsub in the languages: Burmese, Hindi and Spanish (Latin America) from the DVD Camelot (by Nacho). We are looking for people who can extract them to softsubs.

▫️ We hope to get Traditional Chinese subtitle from Netflix Hong Kong, only recognized by Express VPN, using Streamfab (I can't because the account I have, was created from a phone). Also, I only have access to Prime, HBO & Disney+ to get material, if someone has access to other streaming to see what can be extracted, great.

▫️ We still can't find out, about the two Cantonese dubbing, which was the original dubbing and which was the redoubling, we don't know who dubbed it or when it was made: https://youtu.be/TAUJ_Yiql0Y

▫️ We are always happy to receive or learn about VHS, Laserdisc, VCD, TV catches or Streaming, in any language, that contain better audio quality than what we have or subtitles.

▫️ Audio & subtitle synchronizers.

▫️ Lastly, the Taiwan/Hong Kong bootleg blu-ray is the only one with the Mandarin dub, probably from an old capture. We have invested in obtaining VHS material especially, this time we are looking to buy this blu-ray and have a contact I have there send it to us. If you want to support us with this purchase, write me by PM.

Exclamation Goodfellas 4k has been digitally altered
Posted by: Evit - 2023-02-25, 05:05 PM - Forum: Movies, TV shows and other - Replies (8)

A post on Twitter  ↴   this one brought to my attention that in a scene of Goodfellas a mistake has been digitally fixed, I'm talking about the prop car plate that detaches after the car rams into it.

This is how it was originally.


Now the plate falling off has been fixed but something else has changed: the street signs. Now with period-accurate colors.

[Image: FpXCUoLXoAAB0Ny?format=jpg&name=small]

I've never read anything about Goodfellas being altered in any way until now and I'm not sure when this was introduced (I guess for the 4k release?). It begs the question: what else did they change? I definitely didn't expect any alteration from a Scorsese movie but here we are.

Video Ghost in the Shell (1995) - Spanish (Mexico) Dub1 (1998) (HBO Olé TV)
Posted by: metahades - 2023-02-18, 02:29 AM - Forum: Released - No Replies

Contact us for a copy, PM or: https://linktr.ee/metahades | https://discord.gg/t5gf4R2W2U.

For many years, this screenshot was never available on the internet, and today we are happy to share it with you.

In 1 video found on Youtube, a 7-minute excerpt from user Bolt could be found & in the comments, user J.S. Registro Audiovisual mentioned that he had this capture, however for a few years there was no answer if he actually had it and if he was going to share it.

We tried to contact him, until he answered us and gave us the capture he had, credits and thanks to him.

This quality is superior to the VHS collection of Gold from Argentina.

As always, our great SrQesito made a considerable improvement of the audio, in the MKV the audio of the restoration is attached (also converted to Mono, because the stereo capture is false) & the original audio of the capture. For our final version, the capture noise will be reduced by default.

  Hannibal Teaser Trailer Fan Restoration
Posted by: bendermac - 2023-02-18, 01:13 AM - Forum: Released - No Replies

A new project is finished Big Grin



After almost finishing the project I've found out there is a 35mm scan posted by Denis-Carl Robidouxs. But whatever... I finished the project regardless as his trailer misses the end card.

As usual everything is matched as close as possible to the original trailer.

Enjoy Smile

  Top Gun (1986): Ultimate Open Matte Version
Posted by: Hydra Spectre - 2023-02-17, 02:13 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (9)

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.
