Universal Monsters: Undo BD 'fixes'

[monks19]

Gonna check that then. I'll let you know if I find it.

BTW: Any news on finding HDTV files ot the universal monsters' movies ?

Nothing currently. A few were on TCM the other day but I didn't think to capture them.

Hi. I've finally been able the get the Svengoolie's presentation of Dracula (with the new musical score only audible on the french track on the BR). I wonder if this track might be available somewhere on 5.1 or 7.1 audio so it might be possible to get just the music tracks without the dialogues. Anyone knows something about this ?

[crissrudd4554]

Not sure exactly. A lot of it is just stock music from Universal's library. For example I know there was some of The Mummy's Curse in there.

Ok. I'll see if I can find some informations then. Any news on some HDTV files (pre-BR) of the films yet ?

[crissrudd4554]

Nothing at the moment. There's a free version of '43 Phantom on OnDemand but it looked to be the BD print.

On a better note I think I finally perfected my whole VHS capturing method so maybe those will be beneficial in future projects.

Great! Do you think you could help me with some of my own projects?

[crissrudd4554]

I can do my best. I'm not as fully skilled as many of the people here but always willing to lend tips or contribute. Just lemme know what particular projects you are attempting and I'll see what I can do.

Do you have any of the Winnie the Pooh Storybook Classics on VHS in their 1994 blue box editions? Because I'd like the final shot from the "Muppet Classic Theater" trailer at the start of those tapes (I have another variant of the same trailer on a few of my own Jim Henson tapes, where the final shot of the trailer has a different notice below the title), and maybe the audio from that trailer. I'd like the video footage raw from VirtualDub (that's the capture program you're using, right?), at specific brightness/contrast/etc. levels to be described in a PM to you as soon as I can check them out (right now, the computer I use to capture video footage on mine is busy with something).

ETA: Forgot to mention, I'd like the raw capture so I can apply the Yadif filter to it as I plan to do for all of the interlaced video sources I use for my projects.

Sorry to say I don't have those videos. Sorry. Did you by any chance start a separate thread requesting those videos or brought them up elsewhere on this site??
