Love this film, had no idea it had an OAR HDTV rip
spoRv presents:
NO ESCAPE (1994) [spoRv]
| PROJECTS: Released | In progress | Future | Mission & Setup |
**
Mission:** to release No Escape in High Definition Blu-ray format.
Video sources: HDTV, DVD.
Audio sources: Laserdisc, DVD.
Subtitles sources: DVD.
Project info:
“No Escape” is a forgotten action movie of the '90s; albeit it’s not a masterpiece, it still deserves an high definition restoration; the PAL DVDs are horrible, as they are cropped at 1.85:1 - while the OAR was 2.35:1 - with a quite bad quality…
Video is taken from an HDTV broadcast, 1920x1080 2.35:1 25fps; it is slowed down to 23.976fps; initial credits are replaced using the original ones from laserdisc, as the main logo title; laserdisc video is used also to replace the logo part that intrudes into the picture and so is used as a “patch”!
Main English audio track is taken from laserdisc, PCM Dolby Surround; it is converted from 44.1KHz to 48KHz to be BD compliant; all five languages (plus English) are taken from the PAL DVD; they are all Dolby Digital 2.0 tracks; they are converted from 25fps to 23.976fps.
Subtitles for all five languages are from PAL DVD.
A 28 minutes “making of” is included; it is converted from PAL 25fps to HD 23.976fps; audio is english and subtitles are included for all the five languages.

andrea, are you using the spanish hd cap? if yes, we made a synced version out of it, using the audio from the ntsc dvd. btw, the original mix of the movie was 5.1.
Well yes, I'm using that version - AFAIK the only one around... and yes, the untouched DD 5.1 english track will be more than welcome! Please P.M. me.

Many thanks to zeropc for the NTSC DVD video and english 5.1 audio track; now all the sources needed are ready, so project will be finished in few days.

Any updates Andrea? I used to have this on VHS back in the 1990's.
I have to finish Supernova first... hope to work on it soon!

But Supernova isn't as good of a movie as No Escape. OH WELL! :P
Updates:
I tried to use the NTSC DVD as "patch" to cover the TV logo, with various results... from almost perfect
before
after
to pretty bad...
before
after
this is because cropping of the DVD varies throughout the film, and the color grading isn't perfect in all the occasions... with a lot of work, result could be "bearable" and still better IMHO than a piece of logo so evident like this, but I wonder if there is a web rip somewhere, or even another HDTV version (720p will do) without the "Canal+ HD Accion" logo... Can anyone help?

OK, a LOT of time is passed since my last post here, but yesterday I finally stumbled upon a good filter to wipe out the logo... done some tests, and this is really much better than the previous solution, and nearly perfect...

Which filter was used, i'm still looking for one that works.
ExInpaint - avisynth filter

Thanks Andrea :)
Any update on this? I have the HD cap but I'd love to have 5.1 audio
Too many project started all together... (^^,)
Will be finished, so stay tuned on this thread!

So, any new update on this one? I haven’t seen it in years, but I loved it when it was released. Would love to revisit it again!

Necro-up this ancient thread to just say project is “Absolom”-tely abandoned 😄 as a blu-ray has been released.

…or, maybe, if there is some interest, it is always possible to regrade the new BD to be similar to PAL DVD, as following: http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/126297
(do note that I used that old HDTV, but the new BD has the same colors)

I would not mind seeing your release of this seeing how there is still no Bluray for the U.S.
