[Cancelled] Fight Club Open Matte (and OAR Old Master)

[MrBrown]

This project never disappeared. My attempts to clean it up have just pushed it out but still working on it.

Plan it right now to finish the OM and release it on its own and then release the old master OAR version. The OAR will require the same cleaning but after finding all the spots on the OM, that should go faster.

Comparing the German BD to the the Dtheather, it initial appears the German BD is better even though it is VC-1 but I need to dive a little deeper into that to make sure.

I recently bought the German BD... but for some reason, my external Blu-ray drive won't recognize it. Definitely interested in helping if I can ever figure it out.

I have two of the old German BDs, both are not recognized in any player or drive I possess. I think it's an authority or material error that's on the whole release.

Interesting! Here I thought it was just my drive not handling it properly.

Today I received an Open Matte version of the old Amazon transfer in very good quality, without logos, I'm sure it has much less problems than HDTV versions

Much like the new Amazon copy of Conan, that is a much better looking copy. If it fixed the two pixelated areas it would be perfect for my project.

If my WEB DL Amazon is useful to you, then I will gladly share it with you.

I presume you must have seen this? A full OM version broadcast in HD?

I bought a used copy of R1 2-disc DVD (paper bag cover) recently for peanuts, to replace my original R2 PAL one which was cut and they therefore dropped 3 of the 4 commentary tracks!!!

Fancy watching this one again, but would be nice in HD. Is the OAR Old Master / German BD still available anywhere?

[Stamper]

The german disc will kill your player as it's rotted, and the rip will kill your computer due to the multi-bonuses.

I think I managed to convert the main feature to mkv, but I had to reinstall my complete OS on my Mac!

I'll see if it's on an old drive.

any updates of this project?

[PDB]

Nope none. Worked on it a couple weeks ago but lost interest manually cleaning it up. I'll get it back in a bit.

@PDB I also have a WEB-DL (Fight.Club.1999.Open.Matte.1080p.WEB-DL.AVC.DTS.mkv) if you're interested.
