So I'm hearing a lot of love for waterslides' laserdisc?
I like both for totally different reasons. I do like the blue of the DVD, seem to fit with Die Hard, when I think of the movie but also does seem a little video-y like CSchmidlapp said. The French LD looks a like more film like especially since I have seen a lot of green-ish 35mm prints but does seem a bit too desaturated. Its funny how much the French LD's luma matches the BD. I can put this on this of projects. I already have the PCM ready to go. waterslides: Is DH or DH3 from prints also? bigrob: how does your VHS compare to any of this? Edit: posted the same time as you Chew, maybe I can do both at the same time.....

^ Only if you have time and inclination! I'd be interested in watching the result, but I'm not desperate for a regraded DH2. Friends of mine would get far more mileage out of it! :-)

No worries it would be a bit off anyway. I have plenty to work on at the moment

Could someone make a clean version of the closing shot so the French closing credits could be easily recreated in HD?

It would be great to get a better version of DH3. It's a personal favorite of mine
 Its never really looked good on home video. I wonder if it's to do with not having access to the original materials, from what I remember DH3 was produced independently with FOX and Disney handling distribution only. Anybody no more of the story around this? I had both distributors versions on VHS and I remember there being differences in the way they looked even then, beyond just NTSC and PAL colour differences.

LD with the 35mm mix vs the THX remaster. US THX DVD vs US SE vs R2 SE http://sd.caps-a-holic.com/vergleich.php?vergleichID=68 I'm pretty sure the THX DVDs are LD ports and all SE DVDs went back to the master and spiffed them up for DVD. That's where the flatter and brightened DH2 look came form, and I felt the BD was a good improvement by having more of the look of the THX transfer. But I've never seen it projected so I cannot tell for sure.
