Been a while since any updates. I hope the fixed audio version is coming soon, cause I still haven't been able to watch this at all still!

Open matte version pleeease

Got some higher quality bits to fill in some of the missing frames for my scan and also compared to the blu-ray to see if it was all complete. Had to add in 0-2 frames at each reel change. Also comparison to alternate scan source has allowed adding in a lot more frames for the Universal bumper at the end. Now have it 100% frame complete compared to the blu-ray for the feature itself (plus scan has the DTS into and Universal bumper at the end, the latter now more complete, possibly 100% complete now or close). Re-did the audio for the new extra frames timing. May have found a better way to remove the green emulsion lines. Built up a new PC (old one had MB and CPU from 15 years ago) and RAID 0 and more disc space for open matte intermediate frames storage. Hopefully renders out more quickly now and if things bog down have old PC to keep doing stuff on so scheduling rendering not so problematic now.

Beta5 has been sent to all donors (PM me if you got missed)
it's frame complete and has audio as FLAC and TrueHD for the Cinema DTS and WAV for the analog optical and also has a resampled cinema DTS 48kHz TrueHD version for those whose playback equipment insists on 48kHz sampling rate

ah crap I hope I didn't forget to transfer the audio files over to the HD copy
let me go check, man, now I'm feeling I probably forgot, was late and tired

dang yeah no audio in the HD version
would've at least caught but in setting up new system didn't have the new system plugged into stereo yet so had no audio on it until a day after I did that

sent out fixed HD version
