[No Longer Available] Conan The Barbarian Theatrical Cut (Quick Project)

[bendermac]

The US BD has the international cut, not the US theatrical.

Afaik there are only two versions of the movie: The original theatrical as it's on the LD and 1st DVD and the extended. The US BD 100% has a different cut and isn't the extended version.

[Chewtobacca]

There are three versions: the original US TC, the international cut, and the extended cut with the Moby Dick scene (sometimes referred to as a director's cut).

This sounds promising, I never got to check out the TeamBlu version, but that one was hailed as a great improvement.

I believe I'm done for all intents and purposes. I was able to sync the LD and the HBO mono to this project. The HBO require a patch as it had one section of random volume changes. Given bronan's thought about it having less noise reduction, I made it the primary of the project.

The video is as polished as I can get it for originating as a Mpeg2 HDTV broadcast. I just need a volunteer (regular members only please) or two to watch it for me as a second pair of eyes. Looking for any anomalies or station IDs I missed. If it checks out, I'll release it.

Ok I believe this is done. I fixed one broadcast error and can't find any other issues. Participating members (aka no newbies) can PM me if they want a copy. I'll keep it posted for a week or two.

[Stamper]

Is there a subtitle track from an old DVD I can sync to that version? THX

[PDB]

I didn’t check this versus any of the DVDs so not sure if any subs match. Sorry.

[Stamper]

I will try to see if one fit with an initial delay.

[PDB]

Last call. Need to dump for another project. Anyone else want a copy?

[PDB]

Much like Conan’s people this project is dead.

Contemplate this on the Tree of Woe.
