I have my own plans to do a few Criterion preservations of disks I have.

 

"The James Bond Films" (Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger) Upgrade

"Lawrence of Arabia" (Preservation of the 4 disc set with all extras) 

"Akira" (With the original English audio)

"A Hard Day's Night" (This will also include the very rare complete unaltered original mono mix from the first MPI release)

Sorry to bump but how are these preservations going? I'm especially interested in the "A Hard Day's Night" Criterion Preservation.

EDIT: Oh and has a preservation of the Blade Runner Criterion Laserdisc ever been made and released? If someone can help me get a copy of a Blade Runner preservation, can you pls. PM me?

Yes, These are going to be done.

The "A Hard Day's Night" preservation is all done, and only needs menus and a few of the extras to be finished off.  I've also included the extra rare original theatrical mono mix (only ever available on the first issue of the MPI VHS back in the 1980's) in PCM format. The mono/stereo upgrade mix used on all other MPI and Criterion releases is also included in PCM sourced from the Criterion 2 disk laser set.  

I've found another "Lawrence of Arabia" disk set with AC-3 audio. I was going to add that to my Criterion preservation.

Wow! Tell me when A Hard Day's Night is completely done, FanFiltration. I'm a big Beatles fan and would be very interested in getting a copy of the final project. I'm so eager to listen to the mono mix.

EDIT: Thanks SkyJedi, but I was really curious if anyone had made an actual transfer of the Criterion laserdisc to DVD even though I already own the European Cut DVD.
