Here's something you don't see every day.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/GOLDFINGER-Super-8-color-feature-/190792751325?pt=US_Film&hash=item2c6c2258dd

Not sure if it's a legit release or not. The packaging is similar to some of the Derann Super 8 features I've seen.

Was going through TSWLM on Blu Ray and downright shocked the original stereo is at 448kps. (There's a tiny bit of hiss as well.) Anybody know if the other stereo films are encoded this way? I know it's not PCM, but after seeing everything but the original mixes get a bump in bitrate on the Blu Rays, it's a surprise. Seems like Lowry had nothing to do with this HD video master, either.

I finally watched the rest of my recent Bond LD acquisitions. The Dolby Stereo mixes worked with my soundbar a lot better than most 5.1 tracks I've listened to with it. And thankfully, not a defective disc in sight. :)
