Ah! So happy someone is doing this! I’m a huge Godzilla fan (use this same screen name at the monster zero and Toho kingdom boards, though I very seldom visit TK).

G84/85 is one of my favorites and has been since I was a kid. I’ve had a lousy copy of a copy of the SD monsters HD rip for a few years now. I’ve also had the original Japanese laserdiscs and bluray for a long time. But being able to watch a decent copy of the US cut on a modern home theater will be a dream come true.

I’m still reading the thread (at work so I’ve only skimmed it) so apologies if this is answered somewhere. But is there a reason you went with a 720p tv broadcast copy of the Japanese version instead of a straight rip of the Japanese bluray? The bluray is already 1080p and it doesn’t have any burned in logos and such. I cant check for a couple of days, but it’s even possible the subtitles you had to erase were video generated and not burned in too, which could’ve saved a lot of trouble. The bluray is easy to find and has come way down in price (when I got it it was about $70 but now can be found pretty easily for around $40).
