Topic: Help Wanted: A Hard Day's Night? - Can someone do a preservation of?

Could someone please preserve A Hard Day’s Night? The current DVD is cropped from the original academy ratio, and the original mono soundtrack is replaced with a horrendous stereo/5.1 one. Basically, it’s a mess. The original full screen DVD is out of print, but Criterion did release a laserdisc, in addition to the original DVD, and tapes. If someone could find a way to restore it, or has a better copy, that would be fab!

Does this answer your question?

I'm very glad this stuff is making way. I'm a huge Weird Al fan, and I hope this makes its way onto a torrent tracker. Pardon the expression, but I'm a real newb at trading. If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.

Good job, dark_jedi! I'm very excited about this, and it looks very good. I virtually have no VCR, and my cassette is no good anyway.

Thanks, it's nice to get some feedback. Maybe I will send it to you.

Anyway, I did a side by side comparison of the two videos. This is what I saw. The FLV was much clearer with better sound quality. However, the WMV was five seconds longer. It wasn't professional, but it's clear which one is better.

I can't stand it! I have the said 12" vinyl of HtD in near perfect quality. If there's anything I can do I would love to. I have never even listened to the vinyl. However, I really would not feel comfortable sending it to anyone else. I'm sorry, reave, it's not that I don't trust you, but it's my favorite record (next to my Mad Twists Rock & Roll record, but it is really scratched up). However, my phonograph is nowhere near the quality of the single itself. It's a Sears model clearly made sometimes in the late seventies or eighties and up until August of 05 it was only used to play Raffi albums. But I just want to make sure I get some good feedback before I lug the whole thing into my living room and mess with all the cables...
