Greetings,

Some of you might have noticed my thread in the fan edit section. I’m currently working on a fan edit of TMP and am finding myself in need of a color timing reference as well as the original PCM soundmix.

From what I understand there are two LDs out there: widescreen theatrical, and panscan SLV. If possible, I’m looking to get a bit perfect copy of the SLV and Theatrical PCM stereo mixes and 264 compressed copies of the video from both discs as well. Given that the HDTV broadcast, Directors Cut DVD, Blu-Ray, HD trailers, and Blu-Ray pre-“restoration” special features all have different color timing I’m suspect as to what is most faithful to the original negative. Assuming the LDs do not have different color timing then the widescreen LD would suffice, assuming they have different, then wouldn’t the SLV LD have more accurate color as it was released first?

I’d do it myself however I am completely lacking in LD equipment and need to save up for a grading monitor as well!

If anyone would like to assist in this matter, don’t hesitate to reply to this thread or leave a PM : ).
