I haven't had a chance to read through this entire thread just yet, just wondering if anyone's taken on doing a preservation of The Matrix. I see the disc on the list and I had been happy with it's home release audio, but this is a movie that had its color changed somewhere between the theatrical release and it's home video HD release. Some horrible green filters were added. Having gone to the theater quite a few times to see The Matrix, I vividly remember the colors being more red/blue shifted than what was on the HD-DVD and Blu-ray. My copy on LD looks closer to what I remember in the theater, but a 2.39:1 movie on LD leaves lots of detail out. There's also a TV version of the movie in HD that looks close, but with a bit of DNR -- that one is not matted to 2.39:1 either. Would be pretty cool to attempt a version that combines the Cinema DTS audio with a color corrected HD version of the film. Any other details on the original color scheme?
I have actually released a regraded version of The Matrix that removes the blanket green tint on the blu-ray, bringing back the reds and blues and reduces the over the top contrast of the blu-ray. The 16gb version also includes the cinema DTS. You should check it out.
You can find it on tehparadox, search for 'regraded the matrix 16gb' and it should pop up.
but your version doesnt already include the fixed/more lossless encoded DTS cinema track which jerryshadoe corrected, does it? It would be nice to see that newer audio track included.
