No problem to convert PAL speed to proper 23.976fps and sync it to the video. Well, according to LDDB:
"When Palmer shouts to Nauls' to "turn that crap down, I was shot today!", a different track, Superstition by Stevie Wonder, is playing from Nauls' ghetto blaster in the kitchen. A different track plays on the Pioneer Cinema PAL release [PLFEB 33051]. I dont remember Stevie on the 1980's UK video releases either...
...The Stevie Wonder track is the original song played in the movie. The song was changed in some releases due to licensing."
So, strictly speaking, the PAL LD soundtrack is not the original... should it must be included in a preservation then?
Now that I know that HD-DVD has a better quality than BD, I'd like to know if the HD-DVD is the "right" version to go... I mean, has it good colors, no missing edges, no missing frames/scenes, no alterations? I agree with DJ that a poor LD could not stand at the same level of a well crafted HD-DVD or BD, but if I have to choose, I prefer lower resolution video with the closest image to the original theatrical version, than the top-notch-out-of-this-world video quality *enanched* edition - but you know, I'm an old man from an old continent who loves old analog video formats, so... (^^,)
Have you not been reading this thread? the HD DVD is the go to video right now, until a new remaster comes out if any does, I hope it does at some point but who knows, but almost all want this but you still question it lol, believe me, your LD capture will not touch this HD DVD video, there is just no way.
DJ, cool down some. No need to come out heavy hitting, LOL. I understand where Andrea is coming from and a lot can still be learned from analog transfers. I think you've made it abundantly clear which version you prefer and a number of us feel the same but not everyone has the capability to watch or own HD-DVD. When my US version of The Thing arrives I've told Andrea I'll hook him up so he can see the difference. All of us here are very appreciative of what TeamBlu has accomplished and we're just as excited about what they're working on.
Jonno, back to you mate ........ :) :)
