[Proposal] Mad max (1979) audio preserv

[marin888]

Roadshow transfer, MGM/Shout! Warner
It's probably from the same scan, but it's a different encode.

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...

So crop it down and substitute the affected sections with the color matched mgm bd and you are good to go?

Hmmm might be nice to do the whole triology...

That's one way, I suppose. The other is to remove the subs using the R2 DVD.

Too true but I’m loathe to patch hd footage with sd unless it’s the only way.

As a hybrid solution you could color match the mgm and use that to patch the subs.

Of course the quality of the Japanese master needs to be determined.

It's pretty good for an HDTV broadcast, certainly as good as (or better than) some of the others from which we've made custom versions here and been happy with the results. Patching with SD is certainly not ideal, but sometimes subtitle removal is given away by slight color differences as much as by resolution differences, and the Warner DVD's a pretty close match for the cap.  It might be as well to try it both ways.

The Roadshow DVD is a different master that has a look closer to the original US DVD, ie very close to the Warner DVD too.

Unfortunately, it as extra frames thorough the film, so I won't be matching the Roadshow 5.1 remix to the Warner disc.

So the release is coming tomorrow more as a mono purist preserv.

More info later tonight.

It was the only one interlaced. Maybe the extra frames are because of deinterlacing it for the small file. And maybe, it is that constant that it would still fit speed adjusted to the Warner disc?

SpaceBlackKnight you're wrong the euro Warner DVD is unique and isn't the same as the MGM/BR as stated in the Original Post. I think you might have confused the discs LOL.

Yes maybe trying to color match the Blu or 4K rip to the HDTV could work.

I know the Euro Warner DVD is indeed different to the US MGM DVD and the BDs. What I meant was the Warner Euro BD being the same MGM HD master as the US and SF BDs as the Warner BD even had the MGM logos intact at start and end which is rare for them to do. Youve may have gotten my ppst slightly confused there.

Oh yes I got it LOL, yep, the Blu-ray is uniform all over the world, though I think there's a chance the Roadshow Blu-ray might be a unique master. We need to verify this.
