Isn't Blu-ray have same amount of gray blanket in all scenes.
In theory, if it's removed then colors must pop out by itself. With some tweaks here and there, to call it a day. Sunny Aussie Day

Yes, I tried when watching it on my TV. However reproducing the high contrast of the Warner disc is a bit more for a regrade project.
I like that this will be going in the wild with the right mixes, and then maybe someone will try a regrade project using the 4K iTunes release.

Is the Japanese HDTV broadcast any useful? Seem to recall it having punchier colors but never bothered to do a comparison with any releases.

Only for you, spoRv. Some quick and dirty comparisons:

Biggest challenge will be removing the Japanese subtitles (there are quite a few of them)  -- I only have a 1080p 8 GB HDTV Rip of this one. I'm sure there was a lossless 1080i one at some point.

Thanks! Now, what's about MM 2 & 3? Are they available as HDTV, and, if so, with different colors from BD? I got them all on HDTV, taken from an Italian channel, yet they are BD master...

Can't we just match the MGM BD to the Japanese HDTV? Or it there something wrong with the BD?

Wow that hdtv looks so much better, too bad it has burned in text. I'm sure matching that source to correct the the BD would work just fine.

The burnt-in subs affect only sections in which the subs occupy two or three lines, so most of them go when the borders are cropped. Fortunately, there are long stretches without much dialog. If only WOWOW didn't hard-code their subs...

I imagine this Japanese HDTV rip is probably an earlier Warner owned HD master (does it open with any Warner tags at the start and end?). For one it's color timing and framing for most sections look completely different to the MGM DVD and the BDs (which all use the same 2005 MGM HD master, even the Euro Warner BD is the exact same transfer right down to the MGM logos remaining intact) and looks more in line to the Warner DVD and partially the Roadshow release.
Has anyone checked the Roadshow DVD and BDs to compare it's AV quality and source? I heard those releases use completely different film elements (one source says an IP for the Roadshow DVD, some say a CRI was for their HD master for the BD) from the MGM and Warner masters. |
