UHD BD to BD?

[X5gb]

Yeah, the compression does affect the picture, especially the grain but still a million times better than the bluray.
Thanks for the DTS Laserdisc delay, I,ll try it later.

Note, just tried the delay you suggested, Turisu, and appears to be definitely correct, only thing missing obviously is the lion roar at the beginning.

I just checked it out for myself. As you say, it's head-and-shoulders above the BD which feels near unwatchable when compared side-by-side. Signs of the heavy compression are their for sure but most go unnoticed at a normal viewing distance. This will certainly do nicely until we get a proper UHD release.

Incidentally the Laserdisc DTS audio syncs to this release with a delay of 7007ms.

I just saw mentioned on OT that someone has a 35Gb 4K GoldenEye. The rip I have is around 20Gb. Have I grabbed the wrong release?

[X5gb]

More than likely the 35gb is just a hdmi capture rip of the web stream rather than a true direct capture which the 18gb version is. It was been discussed before the direct capture was out there.

[Turisu]

I see. I'm going to check out the recent Goldfinger rip as well to compare to the GASMASK release.

On a side note; some of the non-Bond GASMASK 4K web rips have HDR. Would this be possible if they were just HDMI captures since HDR depends on metadata?

[Turisu]

Just compared Goldfinger rips. The 24Gb GASMASK rip is by far the better of the two. The heavy compression in the 15Gb DEFLATE rip scrubs both grain and detail. Oddly though, there are other visible differences between the two. The DEFLATE rip is ever so slightly more red (mostly visible in the flesh tones) and has raised black levels so everything that should be black is a dark grey. Not sure if these are encoding issues or whether the two rips come from different sources.

If they sync perfectly, they should be from the same source...

[X5gb]

Maybe the Gasmask was from another streaming source like H*lu

Just noticed the person who claimed to have a 35gb 4k webrip of Goldeneye over at OT has just commented to say it was just a pretty bloated encode and the smaller 18gb (he mistakenly quotes 14gb) trumps it so that puts that to rest.

Finally, the Goldeneye 4k sdr web is available, looking excellent so far, just busy converting it. CR, TND and LTK look excellent as well.

do you have Tomorrow never dies?

[borisanddoris]

I'm working to obtain Goldeneye right now, really looking forward to it after the awful BD transfer. Did I hear that right, there is a DTS LaserDisc track floating around? I would love to get a hold of that and retire my actual DTS LaserDisc of it.

I've always maintained both LaserDisc releases of Goldeneye look better/more accurate than any HD release I've seen yet. Let's hope we get a physical release of this new 4K transfer at some point.
