King Kong vs. Godzilla - 4K Japanese Cut Restoration (Released)

Maybe we can get Molly to capture it for us? She does a wonderful job. I sent her a pm.

😃

Ooh, I’ll have to keep an eye on this thread.

Molly says she doesn’t get that channel so I asked if she’d at least keep an eye out for someone who might be able to help.

I have a .ts of this. If anyone wants a copy, throw me a PM.

Alright, I’ll get to uploading it soon. Didn’t expect so many PMs so quickly lol.

Anyone else having audio issues as soon as the movie starts playing?

I haven’t done a direct comparison but I think this is a little softer than the Blu-Ray.

You have sound in the video until the movie start?

Yes when the movie starts, the audio starts to goof in VLC or MPC…

Oddly if I load the file into virtualdubfiltermod I can hear the audio. Same when using Kodi as the media player. VLC and MPC will not play the audio properly once the movie begins. I’m assuming its because the audio switches from aac 2.0 to dolby 5.1 in the middle of the TS file.

Also this video is INTERLACED (and anamorphic?) 1440x1080i, looks like it “stretches” to 1920, which is so strange.

Don’t get me wrong, I am very grateful for this file (a dream come true), just assuming this is the way it was broadcast. This is the best the film has ever looked (I own the official Japanese Blu-Ray Toho put out too), definitely original film elements were found and re-inserted flawlessly.

Yes it is broadcasted interlaced and the channel’s resolution is 1440x1080 but since the aspect ratio of the film is 16:9 thats why it stretches to a widescreen AR.

If you would encode the movie down to 720p it’d be fine.

Hello, I sent you a PM about this copy that you have ^^

With a glorious thanks to Akaiii, I have made a decent x264 encode of this and distributed it to MySpleen and Cinemageddon. I have synced all available audio mixes (plus isolated score) and a legitimate subtitle translation to create the definitive version of this marvelous film in the English-speaking world. I hope that this attempt is proliferated for years to come until the film is given a proper release in the aforementioned English-speaking world.

Beautiful! Finally seeing the new restoration with the original 4-channel audio is a dream come true!

And for people who doesn’t have both MySpleen and Cinemageddon accounts (since Signups are closed since a long time for both of them) is there another way to see it?
