Asked thousand times isn't it!

I could probably whip something up with just the other stuff. Unfortunately, I didn't include the trailers on that 2nd disc. I might take another pass on it.

I've uncovered a bunch of news clips that I could definitely put on there.

1) Is anyone working on the project of incorporating elements of the 6gig anamorphic (laserdisk?) theatrical (i.e., narrated, or voice-over) release (I think it's still up at Demonoid) into the 15gig HTDV capture (various places, meta-indexed at torrentz.com)?

2) Where do people here generally frequent besides Myspleen and Demonoid?

1) why bother? the new 3 disc set is coming out this year that will incorporate everything.

2) i'm not sure we're allowed to discuss, are we?

not to mention there is a HUGE quality difference between the LD rip and the HiDef file.

Ya never know: Scott could pull a Lucas and release the theatrical in a non-anamorphic format. Besides, AFAIK, other than the hover-car ride at the end, most of the changes to convert the DC into the theatrical are ones of subtraction and of audio track.

i'm not sure we're allowed to discuss, are we?

i thought that since the director's cut was recently released remastered on dvd the HD of it was pulled from being allowed as a preservation?

the only reason this existed in the first place was because the earlier dvd release was shit, as far as i know that's why jay allowed it.

i sure hope the criterion cut will appear on an official dvd release, but i doubt any of the special features will be preserved. I also doubt that cuts going to be on the 3 disc set. as far as i know it's going to be a restored theatrical, the restored director's cut, and a brand new cut being prepared for theatrical release.

the euro cut was never released here except by criterion exclusively and i have never heard whether or not this was appoved by Ridley or just the studio.

What's the difference between the "Euro cut" and the US theatrical release?

That's the only reason why I did my version of the HD version. The other release was absolute crap. I deleted the torrent when it was released.

The Euro cut added brief scenes of violence. check IMDB.

Neither IMDB nor Wiki have any comparison info. (That Blade Runner could actually be more violent than the US theatrical is a startling concept -- I remember Darryl Hannah's death scene in the toy maker's shop; it seemed like she was thrashing and screaming for a half a minute.)

Then you may have seen the Euro version. Most versions out there (before the DC) are the Euro version.

The HD DVD and Blu Ray versions are exactly the same, as is the case with any title that WB released on both formats.

That's not entirely true. There are different encodes on HD and BD and there are also various HD's that have more extras on HD than BD.

Either way, the officially released versions are going to be better than an MPEG TS file.

No, the Blade Runner Blu-Ray and HD-DVD use the same video encode. That was done to save money on 99% of all shared HD-DVD/Blu-Ray releases. They're even re-releasing some in the future with new encodes that take advantage of the greater space for Blu-Ray.

Doesn't really matter though, because the Blade Runner Blu-Ray looks stunning.

god, I thought we were past all this BR vs. HD DVD talk. But yes, the BR of Blade Runner looks amazing so the point is moot.

Does anyone here have the old “blade.runner.1080i.dd5.1.oar” HDTV capture from 2006 or so lying around? It should weigh in at around 15GB. Thanks!

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.
