I didn't even think asking here before:

It's been a few weeks I'm searching for the End Credits from the Blu to add to my Varese soundtrack !... Would somebody here be so kind to rip it in lossless and and send me a wav or flac of it ?

You don't know how I'd love it ! Thanks in advance.

My apologies if this has already been asked, but did you fix the color timing on the "day for night" shots of Conan running from the wolves for your theatrical reconstruction? If so, I think I may be interested in getting this.

You don't want this, the colors are set to the Blu-ray, it would have taken to long to try and set the whole thing to the Theatrical color timing.

But, I may revisit this sometime in the future and try again, someone here offered to take a look and see what can be done and he really knows his stuff when it comes to this, ideally it would be nice to have a setting I can just drop on the whole film and just do the "Day for Night" thing as you put it separately, we will see, because I am not done messing with Conan yet lol, I still have some more ideas of things I want to do with this.

Update for anyone interested in this project, yes it is done, but I really did not want to release this without a nice menu, so a HUGE thanks to my menu guy for creating one for this release, and along with this release I will also include ABC's remastered Conan The Barbarian Score CD, so if you are familiar with his work, you know it is going to sound AWESOME! great job to ABC for this and allowing me to share it with my US reconstruction BD, and as you may have already seen there is beautiful artwork already done for this release as well by Imrahil, for complete credits read post #37.

Cool, D_J.

Ok here's an update for everyone!

I've been helping DJ a bit with this one and the reason he didn't upload it yet was because one scene needed a bit of fixing to make it look like the theatrical version.

This scene was originally night/early morning, and was changed into daytime (in which it was probably originally shot) for the cut that's on the blu-ray. You who are interested in this project probably knows about DJ's decision to not change the colors to look like the theatrical, because that would take too much work. So this scene is now color matched with the blu-ray version except it's darker.

DJ posted this side-by-side sample to show you: https://vimeo.com/48708770

Here's also an uncompressed screenshot comparison:

(For those thinking "why not color time it like the theatrical version?" I'll explain a bit. The blu-ray release of Conan has a thin layer of grain over the whole film which doesn't change in brightness. The theatrical version seems to also have this. If one wanted to make a correct-looking theatrical color timing, first one would have to somehow filter out all grain from the entire movie, then match each scene in both contrast/brightness and color, then add the grain back. A lot of times the blu-ray and theatrical aren't even consistent in it's contrast/brightness changes between shots.)

Anyway, DJ wanted me to tell you that he's going to upload it to myspleen soon, and that he wanted ideas on where to upload it on the newsgroups.

He's also made some nice cases for it, check them out:

I have been waiting quite some time for this one and I am excited to see it come to fruition !

 

Your extensive hard work is so so appreciated for this often under estimated gem.

 

I am anxious to get this and have my blu's at the ready !

 

I would also suggest uploads to places where you can use uTorrent, jdownloader or even Vuze.

 

Usernet is also a good idea.

 

I just cannot wait to get this and enjoy it as we always should have !

Myspleen is a torrent site, so uTorrent will work fine. :)

You just need an invite for myspleen unless you're already a member.

Wow. I love this film and despise the screwed up remix. Is this ready yet?

I think DJ is delaying the release a bit because he's hoping we'd find a way to make it look even more like the theatrical color timing. And he's also been very busy with our Star Wars project, and his job of course.

You'll get this one in time, so don't worry. I think DJ just wants to make 100% sure what you get is as good as it can possibly be.
