[Canceled] The Terminator Regrade (UK Virgin VHS Regrade)

[PDB]

Big, big thanks to MrBrown, who dropped me a copy of the French Mono, German Mono and Image 2.1 all with video.

And spoRv sent me the Italian Mono also, thanks.

Same here! Tough I already had the TF1 and Image

It was easier to give all three to you two, instead of figuring out who already has which Version.

OK thanks to Crissrud here are the differences:

I'm going to take half a day to do this: restore the TF1 DVD mono audio in both french and english by adding the missing beats from the Image DVD. Plus I will use the .1 of the Image DVD to make it an ultimate audio track.

I then probably do the same with the german mono track. Synced to the current Blu.

Once the edits are done, adjusting any other foreign language track should be a breeze.

Can you sync all of them to the BD while you are at it

Sorry I’m kinda late to this thread. About two years ago I checked out a version on MySpleen that had (I believe) the LD track synced to the BD. Compared to the ripped Image DVD file I had on my Mac my ripped version sounded a bit crisper. I too have the Image DVD if needed. Note it does open with the Hemdale logo so the Orion jingle may have to be spliced in from a different source. And yes I did point the difference between the Image Mono and the MGM mono.

I think I prefer the MGM Mono audio since the Image audio is uncomfortably dominant on the left channel for some reason despite there being audio coming out of both channels.

I used the version from MySpleen for that comparison video. The Image DVD is a tad crisper. Maybe if I get time one of these days I’ll do a second comparison video comparing the Image LD and DVD mono and the MGM DVD Mono.

This is a rough, rough test. I screwed something up but it gives you the idea of the difference between the BD and VHS. In this case the regrade is using the luma from the BD but chroma from the VHS. The police station scenes are much bluer than on the BD but something like the next "future flashback" when the photo gets burned is much greener than the BD.

I like it so far. Keep it up!
