Info: Terminator 2 - in search of the theatrical sound mix...
Time

I just stumbled over an Theatrical Cut Terminator 2 DVD, with an someway odd sounding italian 2.0 Sound mix.
Maybe it is just me, and my ears, but the Audio seems in some spots different compared to other tracks. And no, it is not the italian language, that seems strange to me 😃

I try to grab an example scene, maybe someone here who has better equipement and experience could check, if it is just the audio quality, or is the mix a bit different.

Dungeons & Dragons Requiem - my attempt on creating the final episode... (Released)
Time

Dungeons and Dragons is a Pen and Paper Role play game.
The numbers indicate the edition of that RPG I am referring to.

Each edition got its own writing of the Name of the game.

3.5 was the Edition that was the actual one, when the DVD limited edition was released, while the 1st edition should be the one, when the show was aired, if I am correct.
The 2nd Edition of the game got another name “Advanced Dungeons & Dragons”

AFAIK I have German Language Full Screen Open Matted VHS Tapes of

  • From Dusk toll Dawn
  • Desperado

Maybe I should try to grab them onto MKV. They would be PAL, but maybe, if the quality is okay, someone could respeed them to NTSC speed, and sync English audio to them. AFAIK both movies never where released Full Screen on DVD or LaserDisc.

T2 Theatrical Version on of the best Audio Option is, afaik, the oop japanese DVD in Full Bitrate DTS.

Regarding T1 Audio, there is already a thread discussing it:
http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/The-Terminator-1984-Original-Theatrical-Mono-Preservation/id/15807

The T1 remastered BD should be easily avaible at amazon.com

Nice Terminator 1 and theatrical 2 Project with great Audio options are discussed and presented here:

Army of Darkness | Television Cut Reconstruction - HD (* unfinished project *)

… does this version you are doing including all director’s cut scenes excluding the director’s cut ending?

If I understand everything correctly, he does recreate the television cut, no more, no less. It differs from the Theatrical Cut in different ways, than the Director’s cut:

Info & Help: looking for... the Australian version of Crocodile Dundee?
Time

snowywebb said:

I wasn’t able to find a copy for sale of the original version in any condition, however I learned that the National Film and Sound Archive Australia has a copy, which is available for viewing… www.nfsa.gov.au/.

I also found out that Channel 9 (Australia) owns the TV rights to the original version which they apparently air from time to time. (Due to it’s classification the original can’t be broadcast on free TV before 8.30pm.)

eBay: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Crocodile-Dundee-DVD-NEW-FREE-POSTAGE-WITHIN-AUSTRALIA-REGION-ALL-/111845676221?hash=item1a0a8594bd:g:hHIAAOSw37tWCjBM

Seeing someone selling your releases at ebay… again…

Such a stupid thing… he really scalps the people with bootleg copies.
Not just that it is very upsetting for you guys seeing someone putting your work into money… also, IF some company learns that way about the fan projects, it could really hit the fan version community… 😦

Wow, I did not realize they released FS DVDs in European countries that recently. Learn something new every day-- a shame about the blown-out highlights (I have seen a 35mm print of “Reservoir Dogs” in 2008, which looked closer to the green tint than the 1997’s reds, but it was much more subtle on the print. I remember being surprised at how good it looked considering it was a Super 35 optical blow-up, having seen a print of “Independence Day” the week before which was typically murky). How does the WS framing compare on the PAL versus the 2002 NTSC’s WS?

I do not know, but I check next time I am near my DVD Collection (maybe next weekend).

The Widescreen Version has the same framing as the US 15th anniversary edition.

I got some of the Nightmare Full screen DVDs… just missing Part 4 and 6.
Even Freddy vs. Jason is open matted Full screen.

“Reservoir Dogs” (1997 DVD-- not the 2002 which is completely pan-and-scan) appears to be a straight unmatted transfer, although both the 4x3 and letterbox transfers are overcropped on the left side (running comparisons to the 2002 DVD, it appears the 1997 transfers (which might have been the same ones made for LD and VHS) were done to Academy measurements rather than Super 35, but regardless is another unmatted DVD at your disposal).

Wew… the old Disc has a really lot more Image information, compared to the new 4:3 Full Screen Version after 2002.
Seems as if the 1997 US DVD was released 2002 in canada, because my double side canadian DVD, I snatched at eBay has in its credit printings on the packside “printed in canada 2002”.

Edit: Regarding Reservoir Dogs, again: Seems as if the French Metropolitan Coffret Collector 3DVD Edition from 2004 also has a open matted Version, Showing even mor as the old Artisan US Disc. It is in PAL and Region 2:
NTSC FS: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xabplkqo25nlj5o/Reservoir Dogs US.png?dl=0
PAL FS: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2krygari89bufmk/Reservoir Dogs FR.png?dl=0

Regarding “First Blood”: the Full Frame version is widecreen letterboxed in the opening credits, and after that P&S. No matting opened. As the second movie. I thing the third one will be exactly that way, also.

Does anyone know which Nightmare on Elm Street Movies are avaible open matted on 1.33:1 Full Screen DVDs?
Only the 1st and the 2nd?

All of them.

Damn… 😄 Need to keep looking for them.

It’s online on myspleen. All 7 parts 😃

That does not fit into my habbit of collecting DVDs. 😃

Also, being from Germany, it is not very safe to use somekind of torrent, so I use it only if it is really neccessary, to get something NOT avaible on original DVDs/BDs, and as seldom as possible.
