[Cheritto]

A full restoration, you say?

Eagle:
Regarding the 4K release, we’ll use the same master but we’re trying to do our best to make some improvements, wherever possible. for sure it’ll be a BD-100. could be released this autumn.

In short: Garbage


so arrived it today and just gave a quick spin. never had paramount release but i must say i hate this transfer. true that caps can be misleading but in motion the "management" is way beyond my tolerance threshold.


grain is glued/frozen most of the time and spotted very waxed-look shots from time to time. colors are good but those can't save the other aspects IMO.


No go for me and that's a real shame what paramount did with one of the greatest italian movie of all time.

as for the technical: BD-100 with DV and a very healthy bitrate (always around 60/70), encoding appears to be very good; movie's duration is 165m49s and opening and closing credits are in english. no doubts many will like it but i really don't. or maybe i'll just have to wait to cool it down and give it another try.


but for now the sentiment is to give it back.

They fixed the encode but the master is the master

Looking for the 1994 Paramount LaserDisc [LV6830-2WS] to sync up with the UHD (Eagle). If someone can be kind enough to point me in the right direction...

Thanks,
