Help Wanted: Alien Resurrection HD - anyone capping these on HDNet this July...

I've always wondered if the BD transfer has the same colour timing as the THX LD in all honesty

 Dear god no! the THX disc has many faults but it was struck from an ENR print, the BD is a mess as it was derived from a regular 35mm HDTV scan and looks like a mess.

I am afraid they this will be exactly the same guys.

It will never look right unless they digitally recreate the ENR process, or scan an ENR print at 4k.

This is on the list of my Silver Retention heartbreaks, this is my film love and my specialist subject kinda.

Also the sound on disc is not the theatrical version.

Well then, it's GOOD that I have the cinema DTS for this movie.  ;)

I agree with all that, provided the HD broadcast provides something different than than the BD.  AS you stated, that is the case here.

I just  meant to say that asking for HD caps of movies that were identical to their bluray counterparts is not in the spirit of the forums.

Agreed, but until it is captured and watched, we don't know that it is, correct?  Since I have not seen it I certainly don't know, that is why I requested some assistance.

You said it as good as I could but probably far better PDB. 

In the end, helping each other out when we can is what it's all about.  I certainly did NOT make the request lightly as I am aware that Alien 4 has several different looks as was correctly stated by PDB.  As for the Bluray side of things, what might be fine for one may not on par for another and I will never begrudge anyone trying to find alternate or more on par versions of movies their fans truly love.

Is there something wrong with the Blu-Ray that makes this a better alternative?

To answer your question, there are plenty of known incidents where and HDTV Master being broadcast is different than it's Bluray counterpart but there are too many to name.

Other than that, I'm not sure there has to be something wrong with a Bluray release for someone to ask for an HD cap.

At the risk of becoming annoying, can anyone give me a myspleen invite for this, so I can use it for my edit? I've tried asking for one on the myspleen forums to no avail.

Has anything like this come up for sale before?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/35mm-Film-STAR-TREK-ORIGINAL-RAW-FOOTAGE-FROM-The-Galileo-Seven-Hollywood-Estate-/281371576668?pt=US_Film&hash=item41830d895c

I've never seen anything like this. However, it's odd that it has shots from Galileo Seven and The Changeling, since they were filmed a year apart.

 Having looked at the description again, the logo of the Westheimer Company appears on the leader. They were one of the optical FX houses that regularly worked on the series. It could be a demo reel for the man whose estate the reel came from.

It would make a nice collectors piece for sure.

Info Wanted: 'Jurassic Park' - DTS Edition DVD
Time

I believe it also depends on which release it is. The first DTS release for JP had issues and the studio fixed it by rereleasing it with the DTS fixed.

http://www.thedigitalbits.com/site_archive/reviews/jurassicpark.html

10/20/00 - DTS Update We've taken the time to compare the regular collector's edition (reviewed above) with the DTS audio version, and some of you are going to be a little surprised. Usually, we tend to prefer the DTS audio versions of our favorite DVDs, but not in this case. The DTS track does deliver the usual improvements in resolution. These include a bigger, wider soundstage, with greater clarity and more natural rendition of atmosphere. Panning is smoother and music and dialogue seem to come alive. But the big problem with this track is a decided lack of low frequency. I've heard a lot of others complaining about this on the newsgroups, and I can only agree. When I listened to this film in DTS sound in the theaters, I could actually feel the bass in my chest. No one expects quite that same sensation in the living room, but I was surprised that there was so little low frequency as to be actually distracting. The Dolby Digital version of this disc resonates with bass - not so the DTS. This was the first DTS film in theaters and I wanted to be blown away with the DTS sound on DVD. I wasn't. Add to that the fact that the addition of the DTS track meant the removal of virtually all substantial bonus material other than the making-of documentary and... well, our recommendation is to buy the Dolby Digital version.

8/2/01 - DTS Update There is now conclusive proof that the first pressings of the DTS DVD version of Jurassic Park featured defective 5.1 audio - Universal has quietly corrected the DTS sound and re-pressed the disc. The new pressing of this disc is now starting to appear in stores. The difference in the low frequency sound between the fixed and original defective discs is startling. Whereas before, I had to manually adjust both my receiver and subwoofer to obtain any kind of worthwhile bass, this new disc simply rumbles with it. My subwoofer is now far more active - THIS is the audio experience I recall from the theater. The new DTS audio easily rates an A+ for quality. Unfortunately, there is no sure-fire way to identify the new disc from its packaging alone. The original release of the disc had two stickers on the front, one which promoted the Jurassic Park III weblinks the disc provided, and one which promoted the discs PlayStation 2 compatibility. Some people are reporting that the new discs don't have the PS2 sticker. Mine didn't have either. One thing you should look for is the spine label at the top of the keepcase - on the new discs, it should read: Jurassic Park (WS) (DTS). That said, THE ONLY SURE WAY TO IDENTIFY THE FIXED VERSION IS BY THE NUMBERS ON THE INSIDE RING OF THE ACTUAL DISC. The FIXED disc will read: PEMC-D2R2. The earlier pressings - the defective ones - read either PEMC-D2R0 or PEMC-D2R1. Note that it's our belief that the DTS version of The Lost World does not share this defect. We are working to get some answers, as well as a way consumers can exchange their defective discs. Keep checking back for updates. Bill Hunt

If someone could PM a link to me, I would greatly appreciate it. This is my favorite cut of one of my favorite movies, and would love having a widescreen version.

I'm sorry, it doesn't work that way here.

You two can just post your interest  here and maybe the original poster will oblige.  There is NO confirmation that it will happen but I DID read that Paramount was made aware of the fans sincere desire to see this released on Bluray by someone at thedigitalbits so one never knows, maybe we'll actually see it.
