On Tubi this month, they are streaming a remastered transfer of Commando (1985) https://tubitv.com/movies/610956/commando
I was wondering if anyone has the ability to capture or rip this new master (i would do it myself, but it is protected by DRM and i don't have the ability to capture it)

This would be the same as the directors cut Blu-ray?

It doesn't seem to be the same transfer as the Director's cut (the theatrical version is the one on Tubi). The colors are brighter and the skin tones look much better in the Tubi version.


A Remastered 4k UHD Master does indeed exist for Commando, here is where i got the info: https://www.parkcircus.com/film/115812-Commando.

Tried comparing it to the one on D+?

Disney+ in The USA doesn't have R Rated content, so I Can't compare it at the moment. But if anyone here has an International Disney+/STAR account I would greatly appreciate if they could compare the transfers!

D+ UK screenshot (1080p) of 720p web-dl for you to compare:

Here is a comparison:

2015 Fox BD
D+ Transfer

is that D+ you have SwatDB 720p or the full 1080p (I can’t grab it at that resolution as don’t have L1 key to decrypt) or is it just a straight screenshot of the stream itself.

The new transfer is less zoomed than the previous master which was made in 2007 for the Director's Cut DVD and the Later 2015 Blu-ray Release. The colors also look a hell of a lot better and there is no Edge Enhancement

I also have 1080p itunes one but D+ 720p compression and grain retention is alot better. Shame Amazon theatrical cut is still old transfer as grabbing that one would better them both. Tubi is only 720p and lower bitrate through browser so no point in grabbing that one.
