Stamper

If I may note, watch the T2 making of for the opening scenes in the biker's bar. 

Those scenes in 1991 were color timed blue as they appear in this making of (it was edited prior to the film release), however, since laserdisc and DVD and Blu-ray, the scene is now warm orange brown.

I feel any "restoration" project should get those scenes back to the theatrical colors they had originally.

Sent you an MP with the french mono dub link. Let me know if you want the french DTS center channel to adjust to the Criterion M&E track. Perhaps it would result in a much better french dub than the current mono one.

Wow the 35th lose the blu there too? It's SO NOT THE MOVIE --

I will try to get you the french mono mix, it's on a few different DVDs, there's also a french 5.1 mix, but I don't think it's worthy of this project (easy to get), mono would fit more as the french Blu-ray doesn't have it.

I don't think so. Usually all DVDR plays fine. Perhaps I should convert the BD-25 into an iso and burn it with udf mode?

I just burned a bdmv folder in toast using the video folder.

Maybe I need to burn using the DVD-ROM UDF folder? But does it work with Blu-ray?

Bizarre, I burned the disc, but it won't start on the ps3. It plays otherwise fine in the computer.

Anyone knows a solution?

Which French dub do you want ? I'm not sure if the french mono is available, but I can check it out for you.

Pretty obvious I guess…

Anyone plans a fan edit? 😉

Were they adjustment to the Criterion audio? Cause I can see it shifting sightly out of sync by one or two frames in some moments, and being perfectly synced the next.

yes, the real interest soundwise in the 99 DVD is the stereo / DS remix and the 5.1 remix. Forget the mono. Criterion it is.

PM sent doombot, you have the 5.1 and the dolby surround (or is it just stereo?) from 99. 

That stereo mix sounds great, as does the 5.1.

I think it's fair to consider that everything done in 99 is canon, and the "going back" of the last Blu-ray is the DP losing his marbles. That probably goes for the sound too. Let's preserve the 99 master, the best way to experience Halloween, ever.

I have it already ripped, I'll extract the ac3, but which version do you want? There is the 5.1 remix, a dolby surround remix, and the mono.

I like your version pussy cat. Mine was just quickly made to show you could approximate that look. I didn't mean to do it on the whole movie, just to support anyone who will.

It's true the new version ruins the use of shadows in the film, which the 99 DVD gets right.

The DVD colors are bound to offer less general colors, and less details (ie variations in colors) because of the narrower gamut range. I think it maybe that with the precedent Blu-ray, they tried to reproduce (but failed) the THX DVD colors.

A also think the source is the exact same IP and not a negative.

Hey man, piece of cake. This is the shot adjusted ie new remastered transfer with proper Adam Adams, THX, Cundey approved, 1999 color timing.

Of course this is an exact replica so the timing is a bit white hot and you loose the clouds in the sky. But just to show you with minimal adjustment, you can blend both together, just like one should for Mad Max 2 ugly colors on Blu.

Color match anyone?

Revenge of the correctly color timed Michael Meyers

edit: and here's a comparison for you

The way it looked in 1978 is not "definitive" because it was a crap, ultra low budget film that barely allowed the filmmaker to fill up their intended look, the prints were probably made with the cheaper prints factory out there, why would anyone want to preserve the cheap look? This is BLU RAY we don't want a preservation of the cheap, we want the BEST PRESENTATION.

1999 THX got it right. 

Can anyone post compare pics (open matte vs the current Blu-ray)? thx

The new Blu-ray colors are crappy, I'm all in for a fix to the 1999 THX colors which makes justice to this fantastic film. On the new Blu, all the daylight scenes look grey and dim. The movie is not enjoyable that way. There's no contrast between the autumnal community and the terror of the night, it's all just bland.

Also, mono Criterion not the fake mono (which is not a folddown of the 7.1 track but a fold of another remix, probably one they released over the last 15 years).

Thanks look awesome! How about doing Mad Max 2 next?

EFNY other Blu-ray versions from europe are from an IP

EFNY new Blu-ray is from the negative.

Technically the film looked originaly like the IP.

The new version is different, in my eyes better. 

Nothing like Mad Max 2 which look like shit.

All praises to zeropc!

Listening to it right now. This LD mix is awesome! It's very close to the Blu-ray mix, but better, as you noted. Thanks again for this wonderful treasure. THIS is the sound of Mad Max 3!

Thanks for this. Unless I'm mistaken, the mix is Dolby Surround. I will give it a listen tonight :)

Wow can't wait for this soundmix.
