I listened to the Audio cues of the DVDs and BDs too much.

Where did you find that scan? Is it HD?

With ac3 coding it might be the original sources Audio encoded… Because it is easy to find the CDs mix as DTS from the japanese DVD these days… If the Audio was scannend/encoded from the Films optical audio, you might notice some analoge no is, like scratches… (except, if the Audio on the Film was kept flawless.)

That one might be the correct one, i think this is the one, I got. I am not sure if StudioCanal reissued another two disc BD release in France…

Not to mention the color in the pictures being more a red flag… Not to forget the damages…

Ooof… What a price tag…

I’m looking for the full frame Jackie Brown myself. Anyone got it?

Seems to be avaible on ebay:

In Germany futurama is on disney+.
No idea if it’s a regular HD source, or a silly upscale, but at least they got HD streamed.

Edit:
Even if the stream is HD… It looks terrible… Edge enchantment just too obvious…

Maybe HKR got to bold, and got shut down, iirc it was kind of a bootleg “Label” with many source from the Fan restoration and preservation scene.
Some of the first releases (iirc Hard Boiled and The Killer) collected some of their Audio tracks and bonus features here on ot.com.

No wonder they do not really have/had a customer service.

Also, besides the financial Problem of getting smaller scans funded, I do not like the overall exposure on bigger sites.

With the small project and keeping them in between the people who contributed it might keep flying under the radar of Corps.

But with them shared wideley, I fear that at some point some corps start to get pis*** about the existence of fanrestorations and fanedits.

Is there any truth to the rumor that this ( https://images.static-bluray.com/movies/covers/6070_large.jpg ) french bluray for t2 has the CDS soundtrack in lossless english?

If it is the two disc version, with the TC on a separate disc, thefn, yes, it is the CDS Mix lossless encoded.

Europe BluRay has running time of 108 Minutes, imdb states 107 minutes…
Maybe the LD was wrongly encoded from a pal source. PAL runtime was 104 minutes…

Is the RoboCop 4:3 DVD fully opened-up? Can anyone compare the 4:3 DVD to the Criterion DVD?

There is no Full Frame DVD of RoboCop, not Region 1 at least. The above images I believe are from a TV airing. The Criterion is the closest Open Matte RoboCop there is on DVD.

At least you type RoboCop correctly.
Myself I’m far more interested in open matte versions of movies instead of Pan and Scan bullshite. Interesting for alternatives, of course.

Well, why being so negative on the former poster then? The criterion is more open matted, compared to any newer 1.85:1 dvd and BD release, due having a 1.66:1 frame, the way it originally was intended.

All modern releases of Amadeus feature only the Director’s Cut.

No shit. https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=2234
The website I linked to is an excellent resource for this thread, this site, and for other sites as well.

The original German page is even better…
Analysing many more censored versions of different movies…

Almist 110 minutes PAL is correct.

German VHS was uncensored but just dubbed. In pay TV we hat the uncensored but also the censored.

Best of luck finding the movie.

I am still in process of trying to find a better aspect ratio, the video is in 1.66:1, while it was 1.85:1 in Theatres. But I don’t want to matte it too much, as the raw file has not the theatrical AR.

Also, I’ll need to process some color grading, as the raw file has not as strong colors, as any shots I saw. Maybe because the print aged…

Also, I am tinkering with encoder settings and such.

So, there is no download for this at the moment.

Cya,
well I am not very adept in such processing, but I am sure at some point in the future there will be a preservation arise. It’s not just that easy to encode the raw stream.
The aspect ratio on the raw image is off, as it is scanned with cell frame and audio stream.
Before there can be any real download there has work to be done on this. For my screen caps I did not respect original theatrical AR, or matting.
Also I have no clue how the colors where when projected, the scan (and print) seems quite unsaturated, while frames from the re-release print with the altered image, seems lot more saturated… But colors also might have been revised for the re-release…

At least: The Boobs are safe, and won’t get lost that easy again.

I’ll try to answer the flow of questions as good as possible:
I took them myself from a video.
The source is not from your links.
The caps are 1:1 from that video, they are not blown up afterwards.
The marks are scratches, and nothing digitally added.

EDIT:
There was someone who got a 16mm print of Knick Knack.
AFAIK it is not scanned, yet.

Back in that time, I just had a 35mm print of the altered re-release.
https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Info-and-Help-Wanted-Looking-into-preserving-a-16mm-print-of-Pixars-Knick-Knack/id/65510

That had changed since then… I got a true 35mm print of the old version.

Thanks for that DVD hint. I need to check that out. Well. got some screenshots to check out:

Sorry for the formatting, I am not very used to this MArkdown stuff.

Oh, thanks for remembering me, to post some pictures from a 35mm source of that… Has to wait until Sunday.

OMG, we are going down the Terminator 2 road, again?

Maybe I am blind, but I do not find a “search” in this Forum, so a manual collection of Threads regarding Terminator 2, is various releases and such:

That should cover the most prominent discussions on the T2 road. I may have missed one or two threads… but maybe there’re also links in the discussions.

Any news on the 16mm print scan?

Just to revive this thread to the Living Dead:

Seems as if ARTE in France / GErmany aired this movie in 25fps, and with english unaltered Audio. From a short comparison it seems that it is possible that the original Language Version of the airing has none of the altered audio.

Amazon.co.uk
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000FDFWYG/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_55TNEbD5KRME8

It might be oop, but not sold out.

And do not forget the Italian version, that is basically the movie version, but it also has some more scenes, neither in the TV mini series nor the movie version.

Okay, pal running time is about 108 to 109 minutes. Same version as the normal 113 minutes ntsc version.

The cut version in germany had a runtime of 106 minutes in PAL.

No country so far got the unrated lost cut.

The normal us rated-r Version was not for sell in public (not banned, just considered harmful for youth) so in regular stores people just could get the cut version. You had to get the uncut (rated r) version on stores just for adults,and online stores.

Few years ago the movie got removed from the list of considered harmful media, and was re-rated by the FSK.
The movie got a rating of 16,but because of bonus features there is the red 18 rating on front. But now the uncut (compared to us r-rated) could be sold in normal stores, so the big “Uncut” is on that fro t as a selling point.

The German “uncut” mostly is regarding original theatrical releases. Often seen when movies also got cut releases for younger target groups.

A supposedly “Uncut” german dvd release. The runtime is listed as 109 minutes, and I see other PAL releases listed at 103 minutes… Not sure what to make of it, probably bogus. I can’t imagine that there is 6 minutes of additional footage.

I’ve got the original LD release, I’ll have a look at that, I thought for sure it showed Benny’s chest and the drill, but not any of the other clips mentioned.

Uncut German is normal us version… It was strongly cut in Germany back in times.
And comparing 109 minute HD BD with a 103 minute DVD… It’s just the same… PAL just runs faster than ntsc and 1080p.
