Looking for the "right" Terminator 2 color grading...
MUSE you mean the second japanese squeeze? No idea, maybe he was busy with Titanic so he didnt have the time. Then by the time Titanic came out, DVD was the new thing so he didn't care about LD anymore.

Stamper, MUSE is not a normal laserdisc, but it's an high definition version of it - let's see a MUSE as HD-DVD Vs. LD as DVD... so no, it's not the squeezed laserdisc; and it has different colors from the first squeezed laserdisc.

Sure, it would be great to have it captured!

Cameron 'not having the time' is the reason we have had to suffer old old transfers of his films for as long as we have.

The MUSE Hi-Vision laserdisc was released in 1993(!) according to LDDB.com. By all accounts it was somewhat 'underwhelming'. PILF-1375 was released in Japan the same year, maybe it is similar colour wise:


You're right spoRv, the squeeze and MUSE are not the same, going by the caps on LDDB and the side 1 capture by MrBrown a while back.

This is all making my head spin now. No doubt the 3D re-release will confound us all with a new colour timing on top of all this. Right now I would happily settle for a 35mm scan of a CDS print  Big Grin

Oh I get it, never owned the MUSE one so can't tell! Isn't it zoomboxed a bit?

It is windowboxed when captured, because, as it was an analog format - albeit high definition - it was thought to be watched on analog TVs, hence those black borders all around would be out of the displayed image by overscan.

There are more info on the LDDB forum.

Zoidberg I think you got it wrong, MUSE isn't this one

It's that one

The colors look way off according to screens at lddb, I remember now I didn't buy it because it was expensive, cropped on the sides, and the colors weren't the film.

Yeah I know PILF-1375 isn't the MUSE disc, it's a standard definition LD released the same year. I was just speculating whether the two releases shared the same source

It seems everyone is confused. The lddb pics are misleading at least they were to me. The bluer pics are from the muse. If you save the pics it says where they are from.

So someone said a second squeeze ld matched the muse ld. Can anyone cap that?
