There’s also a “DCPrip” on usenet although I’m not sure if there’s a difference with the Russian one.
Yeah that’s the same one. As stated before, it’s not actually a DCP Rip it’s a reencode from a Russian VOD
Have you seen the Russian 4K rip? Higher quality than the blu-ray or Netflix versions, might want to check it out if you’re ever gearing up for a 2.0 release or anything.
I’ve seen it but I don’t love it. It’s tagged “DCP Rip” although it isn’t. It’s in 25fps, and it also has different color timing than the netflix 4k web-dl. Regarding a 2.0, unless there’s a major breakthrough with a new video source, or a major issue in the current release that I don’t know about, I don’t think I’ll revisit this.
You can convert audio and video to 23.976 with eac3to. Which version is closer to the color timing of the blu ray?
I know I could do that but it just really seems to be more trouble than it’s worth. The Russian version isn’t that great, it’s just a reencode from a Russian VOD.
Glad you revisited this.
Glad you started it!

If anyone still cares about this release, I’ve synced the subtitles from the Blu-ray and named chapter file from the NTSC DVD to this scan. You can grab them here. I’ve also reencoded the optical PCM track into DTS-HD MA, as my personal receiver sometimes has problems with PCM.
Hopefully the mods are okay with me posting the link since it isn’t the full project. If not, just let me know and I’ll take it down.
I prefer watching this to the horrible new UHD release, but if anyone does prefer that release and wants original subtitle font and timing, I’ve also done that, and they’re in the link as well. (Blu-Ray and UHD Blu-Ray).
EDIT: Nvm
I decided to upgrade lorang’s edit. Read more about it here
Hey guys, I decided to upgrade Lorang’s edit of the extended cut of The Hateful Eight, and I would like to make it more widely available. Here’s what I did.
Video:
All video elements are newly sourced. The main live action content is sourced from a 2160p web-dl. This means that this is an untouched download of the original Netflix stream. I believe this source is relatively new since user Clark Teddles mentioned earlier this year in a separate thread that there was no 4k version of this ripped online. Chapter cards are sourced from the Blu-ray as well as the “No Data” frame (more on that later). The overture and intermission cards have been cleaned up, and the red gradient in the sky is now gone.
The video has been encoded via handbrake with the HEVC codec with an average bitrate of 36mpbs (peak of the Netflix web-dl). This encode is technically UHD BD compliant but the file won’t fit on a 50gb disc. If 66 GB discs ever become publicly available, this will be a perfect contender for your disc drive.
Audio:
97% of this project comes from the 5.1 Dolby Digital plus audio from the Netflix web-dl. It has been edited losslessly and preserved losslessly in a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 container. The other 3% is sourced from Lorang’s original 5.1 AAC, also edited and preserved losslessly. These elements include the overture and intermission. Very light audio editing (crossfades, level adjustments and such) have been made so the different audio sources blend together. You will not notice them.
Changes:
I tried to remain faithful to Lorang’s original edit. I wanted to edit all of the content of the Netflix miniseries into a film format with the title cards and overture + intermission. This edit is actually frame-synced to Lorang’s edit, so if you wanted to use his 5.1 AAC, you could.
Lorang’s edit only has five title cards instead of 6, which is odd because there is a perfect spot for the 6th title card. I have re-added the 6th title card.
The Netflix stream has a single frame where the screen goes black with a 'No Data" logo. It’s odd to me that something like this could pass Netflix’s QA, and I don’t know how many people even know about it, but it’s still there in the stream to this day; you could check for yourself if you have Netflix. I have replaced this frame with the corresponding frame in the blu-ray and color matched it to the netflix stream.
Subtitles! I have added the subtitles from the Netflix stream, which Lorang’s edit was lacking. These subtitles have been frame-synced using the exact timing of the Netflix stream. They are muxed into the video in SUP format.
Chapters! I have added a chapter file to this edit. It uses the same chapter marks from the Blu-ray with a few alterations since the Blu-ray wasn’t always accurate to I-frames. Two additional chapters have been added for the overture and intermission.
What this isn’t:
The roadshow cut. Make no mistake, this is the version of the film that I prefer, but it is NOT the roadshow cut. This is merely the content of the Netflix miniseries edited together in a film format. I have made no effort to recreate certain roadshow elements like the Cinerama logo or the newer Weinstein logo. This is purely an upgrade to Lorang’s edit in every sense of the word.
Release:
The release is about 55GB. It’s the HEVC video with the DTS-HD MA audio, the SUP subtitles, the XML chapters, and a poster as the cover if your player supports that type of thing.
There is an extras folder with the synced SRT subtitles, an AC3 track that I created from the DTS-HD MA track, and Lorang’s original AAC. Also included are the bitrate plots for the source files, lorang’s edit, and my own encode if you’re a nerd like me and are interested in that.
HELP!:
Now for the big question: Who here can help me out with distributing this thing? I don’t want this to go the way of Lorang’s edit, where people are asking for the project with no luck in finding it. But on the flipside, I have done a couple edits on this forum before but I just can’t keep up with the barrage of DMs. I have my own life, and I sometimes go many months without visiting this forum. I want as many people to see this as possible, so I will only be sending this at first to people who are willing to host and share it in the future. Once I have a few volunteers, I will indicate them in this thread and hope they can sustain distribution in the future. You can still DM me and ask for it of course, but I cannot guarantee a timetable for when I will be able to get back to you.
I was originally going to post this in the other thread, but I figured it may be better to have a thread of it’s own.
You guys are the best, I hope you all like this 😃
How would one be able to obtain the uncencored audio to sync to this release.
^me as well please. 😃
If this is still available, I would love a link. The one schorman put together is low bitrate, and I’d love a nicer one.
Honestly if it’s done by Schorman, it’s probably better than mine, but I’ll send over a link 😃
Honestly no 😕 it seems that when playing a single layer Dolby Vision file on a non-Dolby vision display, the video displays itself in sort of a false color mode, so you can’t really tell the differences between the DV version and HDR10 versions without just viewing them on your own DV/HDR10 displays. However, speaking from my own perspective, the DV version only looks marginally better than the HDR10 version, I just thought it’d be useful to preserve it.
Currently updating this project if anyone is interested, really excited about it!
So I have a hard to find copy of a New Hope in the form of a Dolby Vision Web-Dl, but unfortunately it had a lot of issues so I needed to do my own little restoration project to bring it to where it needs to be. This included learning how dolby vision worked which was a pain in the ass but ultimately I’m glad I was able to do this. This Project contains all the audio and subtitle tracks from the 2020 UHD BD and Regular BD. Subs for the BD have been darkened for proper display on Dolby Vision screens. Both those discs have an extra 38 frames in the beginning so I had to adjust all the BD tracks by -1585ms to get them to sync correctly. This is a Profile 5 single layer DV file, so unlike blu rays, it won’t fall back on HDR10 if you don’t have a DV display, so it’s really only going to look right on those displays. Big thanks to Schorman for creating the forced subtitle track that matches the UHD BDs, since this version uses soft subs as opposed to the harcoded one’s on the BD. I have only tested this on the 2019 nvidia sheild using the Dolby Vision build of Kodi, but it plays perfectly fine on that and it looks and sounds great. It seems this is the only film that exists in a DV web-dl which is a shame, but it’s still cool to have regardless. PM me for a link!

Maybeeeee. I was definitely thinking about it. See the problem with that is I’d need to find a way to convert the HDR footage to SDR and I don’t really know how to do that just yet.
Also if one of the mods could edit the status of the topic title to “released” instead of “uploading” that would be great!
Just updated the OP and I finally have a link to share, so just PM me if you want a link 😃
Update: I think its best that I don’t distribute this project anymore because 4K Web-DLs are available of all the Marvel IMAX films, sourced from Disney+. If you would like to see those, you could find them the normal place you’d find movies like this. Thanks for all your support guys!
First off, is this project full IMAX? YES, all the IMAX footage is from the officially released 3D Blu Ray. (I’ll be asking and answering this question in the first line of every one of these projects because the answer varies from project to project). So this marks my first release in attempting to preserve the IMAX editions of all the Marvel films because for some reason, Disney really doesn’t like to release the IMAX aspect ratios on home video. With Civil War, I decided to take the IMAX footage from the 3D Blu Ray and crop the left sidebar shot by shot (Similar to what kk650 does) and then color match the footage to the regular blu ray because the grade on the 3D BD is actually a lot different. (Quick note, I now have so much respect for anyone who does color grading because man, it’s a bitch). I decided to do this film first because it has the least amount of IMAX footage, so it was a good starting point. All IMAX footage is from the 3D Blu Ray and the rest of the film is from the regular Blu Ray. I used DrDre’s color matching tool (which is amazinggggg by the way) and experimented with different luts. I applied one lut to the whole scene and I’d say that the colors match the BD about 95%. There’s a shot here and there that are a little off but it’s pretty accurate. Actually all the shots with Spider-Man have the red on his suit a little more vibrant but I actually prefer this. I will post a few screenshots later today. I am however, doing a shot by shot color match for Thor Ragnarok and although all of the shots match the blu ray completely, it takes a lotttt more time. I don’t think I’m going to revisit this project honestly because the colors match very well and are good enough for me. This project was completed and encoded in premiere and the final video was exported with maximum bitrate settings so the file size is actually pretty big, approaching 90gb EDIT: I actually ended up running into some problems with premiere’s encoding process so I ended up exporting a ProRes copy from premiere and then re-encoded it into an h.264 format with handbrake. This actually ended up taking a whole two days and then I realized I left a de-interlace filter on so I needed to do the whole thing again and it took ANOTHER two days. It all done now though and the video looks fantastic! As always I tried not to loose any quality so the video has an average bitrate of 80mbps so the final file size is about 105gb. All of the audio tracks are muxed in from the Blu Ray and UHD Blu Ray. The entire video is also frame synced to the regular Blu Ray (I’m using the 2019 version if that matters), and the UHD Blu Ray. The audio track options are:
And the subtitle tracks are only from the Blu Ray because I guess the way UHD subs work, isn’t compatible with 1080p video. EDIT: It seems that the UHD subs DO work, so I’ve added those as well. The only thing is that they appear grayish instead of white. I tested this with vlc on my pc, and kodi, through my nvidia shield, but no guarantees that the UHD subs will display correctly for everyone’s setup. The tracks are:
Also this release has chapter marks and everything, and the nice IMAX poster for the cover! Finally got it all uploaded to my google drive so just PM me if you want a link! As always you must own an officially released copy of this film to obtain this. I put a lot of time and effort into this project and I also ended up learning a lot from it, and I would really appreciate some feedback as well! Stay tuned for a lot more of these marvel releases in the coming weeks, including the last two avengers films which I’m VERY excited to share!
Also here are some screenshots!
I guess now’s a good time to say I’m basically done with this. Will update the OP because I decided to go about it a different way. Also have a few other Marvel films done as well that I’ll be sharing.
Did you download the avchd versions?
Update: I’m going to just hire a freelance VFX artist to do it for me because I’ve been working on this project for like a year now an want to be done with it lmao. Expect an endgame IMAX preservation to be posted here soon!! Here is the sample he sent me btw.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GS5XJtnrtmf32HS1pNfpwBAjoLPszwPO/view?usp=drivesdk
Edit: Well Fuck, it’s gonna cost $150. I guess it may be a week or two before the preservation is posted lol. Gotta get the money 1st😅.
Try using tsmuxer to mux it into an m2ts file. I can’t speak for Sony Vegas but I use this to edit videos in abobe premiere
Or if you don’t wanna loose quality, use tsmuxer to mux the video into a .m2ts file and that’s fully compatible with premiere.
Hey so I’m working on an IMAX preservation of avengers infinity war and endgame and there are some shots that have hard coded foreign (either Russian or German) subtitles in them. I have overplayed the blu ray on these shots and it covers a portion of the subtitles but not all of it. I’ve read a few topics about this same issue but they were a few years old and I’m wondering if there’s any easier method of removing the subs using Adobe premiere or any other modern video editors. Any help would be much appreciated as after I am done with this, I am finally done with the whole project. Thanks!!

There’s a new version of this project and I’m uploading it to my google drive rn. If anyone wants to pm me for a link, I’ll gladly give it to you but please pm me, as I NEVER check this thread anymore lol.
Can I have a link to this one? Thank you for your work!
A 4K99 preview was just released on the Star Wars trilogy forums so, if you wanna look over there, there’s a better version of the theatrical cut now!
