Has P+ even tried adding anymore episodes?

It’s also not just that, in general I rarely ever check this thread anymore so you’re 100x more likely to get a response from me if you just PM me directly.

So are you going to do everything again with the new 2160P remasters, or she would just download the fucking shit out of those and don’t count on the original music being mixed in with them for a long while?

Yes we’re doing these with the remasters, but I don’t appreciate your rude tone.

I’ll check with a friend to see if they have this one.

EDIT: LOL, I might actually be able to record MeTV Toons now. It just wont be of the best quality, so I’ll still ask my friend about it.

Honestly I’d still be willing to take those recordings.

Would anyone happen to have season two of 2 Stupid Dogs captured from MeTV? Considering they’ve been airing other Hanna-Barbera shows uncut I’m hoping that their broadcasts of this show, particularly the second season is airing uncut (since the first is already available uncut on DVD), because the current Boomerang captures that exist right now are the syndicated versions with only the individual segments.

If anyone has anything please contact me.

I’ve been looking for this series with the original music which seems like forever now. In the podcast with the 90210 creators/writers, they said they were working on getting the rights. I wonder if that’s ever going to happen.

I doubt it, it’s all up to CBS

Actually I’ve seen stills of frames from a real authentic 35mm print and the Final Cut 4K matches it very well. The neutral grade isn’t accurate at all.

You do realize that I have 1080p versions of the season 4-5 finales and the season 6 premieres already saved right?

They were intact on the US blu-ray sets and I was able to acquire rips of them.

I have the US blu-rays, and the episodes are split on the versions I have. I bought each season on blu-ray as they became available, as opposed to the big boxed set that came out later… So are you saying that the boxed set had the episodes intact? If so, I’d love to get a copy of those rips.

Well it’s equally possible that the versions you got happened to be international discs, because what I have came straight from the original US discs and they have the intact double length episodes in 1080p

If you do want them just send me a PM and I’ll send them to you

I think it’s going to be a much longer wait than I initially anticipated for Seasons 1-3. The source I mentioned who has the full quality HDTV broadcast rips is going through some personal things.

In the mean time, I’ve gotten the rest of the double episodes completed: Season 4 & 5 finales and the Season 6 premiere.

I’m putting together a spreadsheet with links to the completed projects. This will make sharing easier.
People can DM me and I’ll share the spreadsheet when it’s ready.

SIDE QUESTS:
I’m considering adding the Season 5 premiere to my list, which to my knowledge only had 1 minor change. The placement of the first commercial break and opening credits. But I’ll need to secure a new Blu-ray reader/burner to get the episode off the disc.

And I may also do a pass on the pilot but I would need a reference to the 2 hour broadcast version. If anyone has that and would be willing to share, that would be a big help. It will also depend on whether or not this AI tool I’ve been messing with can seamlessly remove the credits off the footage from Pilot, Part 2.

You do realize that I have 1080p versions of the season 4-5 finales and the season 6 premieres already saved right?

As for the two part pilot, as stated earlier there is in fact a double length version but it was a pre-release version that contained temporary music (there was no score composed yet) and it aired in two parts originally on ABC to begin with. The dead giveaway is that the original air dates are a week apart.

So a restoration of this series does in fact exist, but someone is trying to sell them through Instagram. DO NOT fall for that scam, the restoration is available for free and if you want it you can contact me.

So I’ve heard rumors that someone on Instagram has been selling these restorations and taking credit for them. These restorations are NOT for sale, they are 100% free and if you see someone attempting to sell them, they are a big time scammer. Please do not fall for it, just contact me instead and I’ll send you the link directly and completely free of charge.

tarantino probably has a print, but then you would be whining because its the theatrical cut.

Another thing I found out today is that Universal’s theatrical cut (Blu-ray) has slightly less brightness than Criterion’s Blu.

Proof:

Universal:

Criterion:

Also, some caps-a-holic images showing how the 4K and Blu-ray differ: https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?d1=19074&d2=1833&c=34

Again, it was a transfer personally supervised by Danny Boyle and he’s not a known revisionist. The old masters were DVD era neutral and were clearly not theatrically accurate. Teal always existed as a color and idk why people are always so insistent that DVD era neutral and magenta pushes are theatrically accurate when they’re clearly not. The color timing on Trainspotting looks so much better than the various old masters.

midnight cowboy was tealed to death, but it actually very close to the og trailer

Here’s an excerpt from Criterion’s booklet regarding their restoration of Midnight Cowboy:

“A 35mm theatrical print made for the 2004 twenty-fifth anniversary of the film – supervised by director John Schlesinger, producer Jerome Hellman, and cinematographer Adam Holender – was referenced for color correction.”

Here we go again with the teal and orange accusations. Teal existed in 1985 and the old masters are magenta tinted. People only hate the look of teal and orange because it was so popular in the late 2000s and are used to the old magenta tinted masters and thinking they’re correct.

No one has said this, only that Criterion went full-retard on this 4K remaster. Instead of fine-tuning the picture, it looks like this:

The only thing you’ve proved here is that Brazil’s 4K color timing has a much more photochemical look to it compared to the old BD master which is another DVD era neutralized master with no care put into the color timing whatsoever. Teal and orange existed in 1985, the BD is far from theatrically accurate.

Here we go again with the teal and orange accusations. Teal existed in 1985 and the old masters are magenta tinted. People only hate the look of teal and orange because it was so popular in the late 2000s and are used to the old magenta tinted masters and thinking they’re correct.

Awesome to hear someone is working on this! If possible, please use the untouched DVD this time 😃 The fact that you didn’t use the untouched Blu-ray for your That 70’s Show restoration is the only thing holding me back from grabbing it 😦

What’s wrong with the Blu-ray versions?

Altered music

You got all the episodes?

Don’t trust the link the other user posted but yes, I have the episodes

Due to new rules, if you’re new and you ask me for a link in this thread, it will get deleted and I won’t be able to see it. So please understand, I need to be PM’d so it’d be a lot easier for you to get a link.

Dirty Harry is going to have the mono included on the upcoming 4K

fidelity wise it will probably suck compared to VHS/LD.

you don’t really know that, because the LD was an analog track with typical shortcomings (and it very well could’ve used an optical element as base) and this 4K would clearly be from lower generation elements so it would still likely have improvements, Warner would REALLY have to screw up the mastering for it to sound worse than a 42 year old analog laserdisc

I know the original broadcast version of Series 6 finale (eps 21 and 22) was 2 episodes together as a “film”, I should have it recorded on vhs and all intro credits are at front, nothing for second half. The vhs release for season 1 episodes 1-6 (https://buffy.fandom.com/wiki/The_Slayer_Pack) I believe has the 90 minute version with no credits on Harvest episode. I also have this series of PAL release (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Buffy-Vampire-Slayer-Complete-Seasons/dp/B005MX6Y6E)

If you have the uncut version of the season 6 finale that’d be fantastic
