Thanks PDB! It took "just" few years... hope the Arrow will not be the same.

Those are some very small pictures but still quite the color change vs the two. Looking good spoRv.
I wonder what Arrow has in store for us. Film Addict

Thanks DoomBot!
UPDATE! I received the only missing audio track - German DVD - from MrBrown (THANKS A LOT!); converted to proper speed and put in sync with the others. Italian DVD has some small sync problems - sometimes ahead, sometimes before - but it was too much for me; I asked Jerry to help me, and he kindly accepted, but I don't want to make him to work so much, so I decided to not solve this issue; but, as I was there, I managed to fill the holes - there were five or six throughout the whole film - replacing the blanks with the new acquired German track; also, the Signature Collection had a small gap, filled it as well. So, now, I would try to encode it using smaller vbv buffer and maxrate values - I think 30000 should do - to try to avoid spikes over 40mbps, so to stay inside BD compliance; tomorrow it should be all ready. BD: with menus or without? If without, tomorrow or the day after it will start to propagate; otherwise, I should give MultiAVCHD another chance, but in this case I need to build the intro, menus etc. and it will add few days...

UPDATE: setting the max bitrate at 30000 I got spikes at around 37mpbs... so I risked and set it to 32000, and I got just one spike nearly (but not over) 40mpbs! Now final, average bitrate is 23mbps, and DTS-HD MA was dropped and only the DTS core left, so the audio overall bitrate is under 8mbps.
So everything is ready, but there is only one, huge problem: the Spanish DTS track is corrupted, and, when selected, reproduction stops... I don't want to drop it, so I asked to few members if they can provide it, so I would be able to release it immediately after I have received. Stay tuned for the release date, is near - I hope!

As per Bigrob above Looks like from reports over on twitter the Arrow is going to be a new 4K and the results are going to be a massive improvement so a spoRv 3.0 sounds like it is going to have to be on the cards.

First, I'd like to release 2.0!
Still not found the Spanish 2.0 track, and I hate to leave a mere DD 1.0 96kbps as the only Spanish track, while all the others have at least a DD 2.0 192kbps, and a multichannel track... Need help!!! I could also think to add the isolated score (that is actually not that), or, better, the soundtrack - or, the soundtracks, as the old and new versions often sound quite different... of course, if someone could be interested in this!

You are not looking  hard enough...  ...it seems as if you don't want us to get the best Version possible...  That's insulting...  ... just kidding. You will get a PM today. :victory:(EDIT: Jeah, my coffee got me hyper today...  )(2017-03-04, 01:43 AM)spoRv Wrote: Need help!!!

I really would like to hear the Score. Such movie Soundtracks/Scores are often quite good for other purposes. Like, I am a gamer, I love Roleplaygames like Dungeons and Dragons and SciFi Games like Shadowrun, and movie scores and soundtracks often enough are great as background Musik while gaming.
