I have the Criterion CAV set with the tamer TV footage that has to be programmed in order to watch.

This little ditty looks interesting though.  I'll search it out.

Depends on the cut, unrated vs R rated

This is what I have ......

I read the first post so I knew it was synched to the Blu-ray, I just thought you might know if the Blu & the DVD were the same versions so I could synch it.  I'll give it a go myself.  Sorry for the confusion.

All I have right now is the 1998 Anchor Bay Standard THX DVD release, will this synch to it?

In the absence of a theatrical reference, my preference would be for this project to match the look of the DVD as closely as possible.

This is my opinion on the matter .....

I would agree with you and DoctorM on this.  Besides, how perfect does it really NEED to be before people will approve?  Those who enjoy this movie already will obviously enjoy it more if it's taken back to the original DVD color scheme than anything and they'll have awesome choices of audio to boot.  It's a win/win.

I was hoping there was a better HDTV capture out there in all honesty

It's times like these that I am happy to own a laserdisc machine and a copy of the movie that's getting treated like a red-headed stepchild on Bluray.

Finally got the matrix DTS downloaded and I just wanted to say it sounds great. Thanks for all the hard work jetrell fo, to my ears it was well worth it.

Thanks must go to DoomBot for putting the audio files together and synching them.  Without his work, you would not be hearing it.

We're getting mixed signals to say the least...

I'm worried that this might be the only thing donators may be receiving for their troubles, it doesn't look good that's for sure.

:(

The ONLY "Faces" artwork I have are the old Dr. Gonzo, TR-47, and RickWJ324 sets.

Not sure if I snatched this before the links died.  I may have, I'll check.

:)

BD should have the 1982 theatrical release if I'm not mistaken.

Sadly, all I have is the 2002 DVD version which contains both cuts of the film.

I don't see why not.  It show as an external drive.

When talking menus and such, I am NOT your guy.  LOL.  Your drive should be fine with AnyDVD HD.  As for ripping just the audio, I believe ClownBD can do that as well.

Which program should I use to watch my HD DVDs? I have ArcSoft Total Media Theater 6 installed. I had to junk my old XBOX 360 HD DVD add-on player since my front USB ports bricked it.

Of course I'm interested in converting the video to Blu-ray with the DTS-HD MA or whichever tracks.

I have:

The Adventures of Robin Hood; Backdraft; Batman Begins; Black Rain; BLADE RUNNER: 5-Disc; The Bourne Identity; The Bourne Supremacy; The Bourne Ultimatum; Brotherhood of the Wolf (UK); Bullitt; Carlito's Way; Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; DragonHeart; DUNE; FACE/OFF; Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas; Field of Freams; The Frighteners; THE GAME; The Italian Job; Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior; Mission: Impossible; Mission: Impossible 2; Mission: Impossible III: 2-Disc; SERENITY; Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow; Sleepy Hollow; Sneakers; The Sting; The Thing; TRANSFORMERS; The Untouchables; V for Vendetta.

 

 

The Blu-ray's I upgraded to, including the titles I used to own on HD DVD (There are many which I've forgotten if I used to own them on DVD or HD DVD):

2001: A Space Odyssey; 12 Monkeys; The Bourne Trilogy; Carlito's Way; CASINO; The Chronicles of Riddick: Pitch Black; DUNE; THE GAME (Criterion); KING KONG (2005); Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (Original and Remastered); Mission: Impossible (USA & Norway); Mission: Impossible 2 (USA & Norway); Mission: Impossible III: 2-Disc (USA & Norway); SERENITY; Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow; The Sting; The Thing (UK); TRANSFORMERS...

 

How about THE THING HD DVD unmettled video with the lossless audio track from the Blu-ray on a BD25? Same for Apollo 13 and dozens of others. No need for menus. All that's needed is to take the HD DVD video, rejigg it to Blu-ray format, grab the lossless audio, and then retime it to the video. Convert to Blu-ray format folders and then as an ISO.

 

So which Blu-rays are better than the HD DVD for better film grain reproduction including The Thing, Appolo 13, DragonHeart, etc.? Should also count if the Blu-ray has differing versions of a title via seamless branching. i.e. American Gangster, Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick; King Kong; (Dunno what else).

 

EDIT: TROY: Theatrical Cut is only on HD DVD so there's a preservation opportunity there.

2001: A Space Odyssey Blu-ray disc has a LPCM track boasting 6.9 MB/ps compared to the HD DVDs Dolby TrueHD track. So Uncompressed audio > Lossless audio.

King Kong is only theatrical on HD-DVD.  I have Apollo 13 on HD-DVD and it looks freeking awesome.

You might want to try using ClownBD.  It might make some of your work easier?  I used it for the first time yesterday to take Bluray video of Event Horizon so that I could mux our DTS Theatrical audio to it ..... it was quite awesome to hear it that way.

jfyi, the blu-rays also contain the original mono tracks.

I just figured for those who may not be BD capable or willing yet, this would be some good info to pass down.

:)

Has anyone seen or created Nightmare on Elm Street Bluray style covers with artwork from maybe the 1999/2000 set of movies?

Thanks

Just a heads up for fans of this series.  I was at the Wal-mart by my home and picked up all 7 movies plus Freddy vs. Jason in 2 sets for $8.00USD.  They have a $4.00 & $5.00 bin in Electronics with other DVD sets.

These are the 1999/2000 releases with the original mono soundtracks for the first 3 films.  It looks like the flipper disc sets but has slightly different artwork.

Cheers!!!

I got through a fair amount of the NJO books before I got tired.  There was some great and intense stuff in them but I felt the storyline was starting to drag it's heels a bit towards the end.  The Dark Nest Trilogy was the only part I didn't read.

My only recommendations, and only because "I" thought they were cool, The Bounty Hunter Wars & Shadows Of The Empire.

DTS theatrical soundtrack (Jetrell, you got a P.M.)

You have a response ......  ;)

Andrea,

Since the DTS audio is already completed for this movie we could get it to you once you're ready to proceed.

What about Backdraft?  I just received it and I'm excited to watch it on HD-DVD.

Will dig and look, the audio is still the ass remix tho

If the LD has a PCM track, that would be a preferred audio mix?

Out of DoomBot's list, Star Trek, is the only one I have.

borisanddoris, I always count you as interested since you started me on this crazy path ..... LOL.
