In Germany futurama is on disney+.
No idea if it’s a regular HD source, or a silly upscale, but at least they got HD streamed.
Edit:
Even if the stream is HD… It looks terrible… Edge enchantment just too obvious…
Maybe HKR got to bold, and got shut down, iirc it was kind of a bootleg “Label” with many source from the Fan restoration and preservation scene.
Some of the first releases (iirc Hard Boiled and The Killer) collected some of their Audio tracks and bonus features here on ot.com.
No wonder they do not really have/had a customer service.
Also, besides the financial Problem of getting smaller scans funded, I do not like the overall exposure on bigger sites.
With the small project and keeping them in between the people who contributed it might keep flying under the radar of Corps.
But with them shared wideley, I fear that at some point some corps start to get pis*** about the existence of fanrestorations and fanedits.
Is there any truth to the rumor that this ( https://images.static-bluray.com/movies/covers/6070_large.jpg ) french bluray for t2 has the CDS soundtrack in lossless english?
If it is the two disc version, with the TC on a separate disc, thefn, yes, it is the CDS Mix lossless encoded.
Europe BluRay has running time of 108 Minutes, imdb states 107 minutes…
Maybe the LD was wrongly encoded from a pal source. PAL runtime was 104 minutes…
Is the RoboCop 4:3 DVD fully opened-up? Can anyone compare the 4:3 DVD to the Criterion DVD?
There is no Full Frame DVD of RoboCop, not Region 1 at least. The above images I believe are from a TV airing. The Criterion is the closest Open Matte RoboCop there is on DVD.
At least you type RoboCop correctly.
Myself I’m far more interested in open matte versions of movies instead of Pan and Scan bullshite. Interesting for alternatives, of course.
Well, why being so negative on the former poster then? The criterion is more open matted, compared to any newer 1.85:1 dvd and BD release, due having a 1.66:1 frame, the way it originally was intended.
All modern releases of Amadeus feature only the Director’s Cut.
No shit. https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=2234
The website I linked to is an excellent resource for this thread, this site, and for other sites as well.
The original German page is even better…
Analysing many more censored versions of different movies…
Almist 110 minutes PAL is correct.
German VHS was uncensored but just dubbed. In pay TV we hat the uncensored but also the censored.
Best of luck finding the movie.
I am still in process of trying to find a better aspect ratio, the video is in 1.66:1, while it was 1.85:1 in Theatres. But I don’t want to matte it too much, as the raw file has not the theatrical AR.
Also, I’ll need to process some color grading, as the raw file has not as strong colors, as any shots I saw. Maybe because the print aged…
Also, I am tinkering with encoder settings and such.
So, there is no download for this at the moment.
Cya,
well I am not very adept in such processing, but I am sure at some point in the future there will be a preservation arise. It’s not just that easy to encode the raw stream.
The aspect ratio on the raw image is off, as it is scanned with cell frame and audio stream.
Before there can be any real download there has work to be done on this. For my screen caps I did not respect original theatrical AR, or matting.
Also I have no clue how the colors where when projected, the scan (and print) seems quite unsaturated, while frames from the re-release print with the altered image, seems lot more saturated… But colors also might have been revised for the re-release…
At least: The Boobs are safe, and won’t get lost that easy again.
I’ll try to answer the flow of questions as good as possible:
I took them myself from a video.
The source is not from your links.
The caps are 1:1 from that video, they are not blown up afterwards.
The marks are scratches, and nothing digitally added.
EDIT:
There was someone who got a 16mm print of Knick Knack.
AFAIK it is not scanned, yet.
Back in that time, I just had a 35mm print of the altered re-release.
https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Info-and-Help-Wanted-Looking-into-preserving-a-16mm-print-of-Pixars-Knick-Knack/id/65510
That had changed since then… I got a true 35mm print of the old version.
Thanks for that DVD hint. I need to check that out. Well. got some screenshots to check out:
Sorry for the formatting, I am not very used to this MArkdown stuff.
Oh, thanks for remembering me, to post some pictures from a 35mm source of that… Has to wait until Sunday.
OMG, we are going down the Terminator 2 road, again?
Maybe I am blind, but I do not find a “search” in this Forum, so a manual collection of Threads regarding Terminator 2, is various releases and such:

That should cover the most prominent discussions on the T2 road. I may have missed one or two threads… but maybe there’re also links in the discussions.
Any news on the 16mm print scan?
Just to revive this thread to the Living Dead:
Seems as if ARTE in France / GErmany aired this movie in 25fps, and with english unaltered Audio. From a short comparison it seems that it is possible that the original Language Version of the airing has none of the altered audio.

It might be oop, but not sold out.
And do not forget the Italian version, that is basically the movie version, but it also has some more scenes, neither in the TV mini series nor the movie version.
Okay, pal running time is about 108 to 109 minutes. Same version as the normal 113 minutes ntsc version.
The cut version in germany had a runtime of 106 minutes in PAL.
No country so far got the unrated lost cut.
The normal us rated-r Version was not for sell in public (not banned, just considered harmful for youth) so in regular stores people just could get the cut version. You had to get the uncut (rated r) version on stores just for adults,and online stores.
Few years ago the movie got removed from the list of considered harmful media, and was re-rated by the FSK.
The movie got a rating of 16,but because of bonus features there is the red 18 rating on front. But now the uncut (compared to us r-rated) could be sold in normal stores, so the big “Uncut” is on that fro t as a selling point.
The German “uncut” mostly is regarding original theatrical releases. Often seen when movies also got cut releases for younger target groups.
A supposedly “Uncut” german dvd release. The runtime is listed as 109 minutes, and I see other PAL releases listed at 103 minutes… Not sure what to make of it, probably bogus. I can’t imagine that there is 6 minutes of additional footage.
I’ve got the original LD release, I’ll have a look at that, I thought for sure it showed Benny’s chest and the drill, but not any of the other clips mentioned.
Uncut German is normal us version… It was strongly cut in Germany back in times.
And comparing 109 minute HD BD with a 103 minute DVD… It’s just the same… PAL just runs faster than ntsc and 1080p.
The old German VHS of „Nightmare on Elm Street“ contained the Unrated Version with some extended footage of Tina‘s death (blood splashing when she falls from the ceiling and an additional shot of her body).
The German VHS of Hitchcock‘s „Psycho“ also had some alternate/additional material: A shot where Marion takes off her bra, alternate footage of Norman‘s bloody hands after he cleaned up the mess in the bathroom and Arbogast is stabbed three or four times instead of just once. It also has an alternate shot of Sam‘s letter to Marion where the text is written in German.
Unfortunately the shower scene is cut in these German tapes, only old TV-airings included the full uncut version.Now this uncut version is available (only) in Germany on Blu-Ray.
Where? Which release? How to get? Bootleg?
Edit: oh, I see, “Psycho” … Not nightmare on elm street… 😦
Someone said that the German FSK 18 LD of Terminator looks a bit better than the DVD. IIRC, it was said that the colors are a bit lesser washed out. But I might be wrong remembering…
Hey, TheHutt, something I haven’t noticed before, any reason why the movie is window boxed, shouldn’t it take up a full 4x3 monitor on my PC? Also, the end credits for both parts are “jumpy/ interlacey” was the original laser disc like that?
it’s window-boxed because 16x9 televisions are the norm
it’s 4:3 picture in a 1:78.1 container
Yeah, I just thought it would have the bars only on the sides, not top and bottom.
You have a 4:3 monitor?
The Squeeze Edition is a Japanese laserdisc release for some movies.
It is literally an anamorphic LaserDisc release with the whole 1.33:1 formatted video being used, but stretched, as with Anarmophic Widescreen DVDs. So they need to be Squeezed to fit on the old format.
Only Japan had such releases.
There where two different squeeze LDs for Terminator 2,the first one had a not processed color timing, the second one has the known color timing.
I think on lddb.com you may find cover artwork images of both releases, because they did not share the same cover design.
I don’t think the seller really is connected to them. There were and are multiple instances that some people sold and sell customs on eBay. 😦
