Crap.  I went to the Paramount Japan site and it said that A Better Tomorrow I was from a fresh film scan. Either they are lying or they think a 1080p BD from a 4k scan is the same thing as an upscaled DVD :(

Well, at least one of the Woo movies is in HD so that's at least something to celebrate....

My Spleen sure does have a lot of rules. Looks like I cannot just upload it. I have to get permission. I think. Don't really have the time to read pages and pages of rules.

As this is a full-on preservation of a film that has long been treated horribly on video and is classic HK action I think you should be okay for the spleen. Ask a mod to be sure.

Otherwise there are several sites exclusively for Asian films that I've come across. EDIT: Never mind, I found your thread over there.

In any case, you could just upload the audio and subtitle tracks and people can just mux them with their Japanese Blu-rays.

Okay, I muxed together the audio and subtitle file with the Japanese BD's video stream in TSMuxer and they match up perfectly. Great work, Matt!

I then threw that into Clown BD and was able to re-author it with forced subtitles. Just to make sure nothing funny had happened, I replaced Clown's a/v stream with the original TSMuxer one. The subs still came on automatically.

I've uploaded Clown BD's file structure for anyone who wishes to use it. Simply paste TSMuxer's "00000.m2ts" file into the BDMV>STREAM folder and you'll have forced subtitles.

This also incorporates the chapter list from the Japanese BD.

Thanks again, Matt!

The subtitles have been edited. So yes, they differ from the very first patch. 

The audio is the same. 

Griff, that's cool. :)

Thanks for the reply and the continued work in making this version of one of my favourite CYF films. 

Do you know how difficult would it be to create a patch to the JP BD that would be acceptable for distribution via ADC ? They don't like raw audio, preferring a patch of some kind.

Maybe Griff's work is that patch ?

I assume that they consider a patch to be some sorta executable file which, when combined with the blu ray files, will automatically "patch" the custom audio and subtitles into the existing structure, with no further effort on behalf of the user.

The rules are nuts, really. Oh well. I am doing a torrent today, so stand by.

OK. PM me if you are interested in obtaining the HARD BOILED Hybrid. Sorry for delays, chaos and my nervous breakdown.

Yes.

Also, anyone got any super-keen BD-sized Hard Boiled cover art?

Also, does anyone have BD chapter stop timings that can be used with this?

I looked at your custom BD. It looks and sounds amazing! I never thought this film could ever look this good considering how consistently crappy the transfers have been throughout the years. I applaud you for your efforts. :D

Sorry, I should have mentioned.  I'm remuxing this because while I really like the more accurate/less embellished subtitles in general, I'm just personally tied to the character names on the old subs: Alan/Tony, Foxy, etc--so I'm making a hybrid set of subs from both sources.  So since I'm remuxing anyway, I'm also grabbing the chapter stops off the Criterion DVD and adjusting them to more-or-less the same points on this video.  No big deal, and I'm probably the only one who would care.

BD cover art though... still interested if anyone has some.

This is the only one I could find already made.
