Actually, I just thought of something. Can you check with Buster D and see if the movie originally had the Distributed By Warner Bros. "worms" logo at the end after the Aspen logo? If we're going for theatrical accuracy, shouldn't the end also be accurate? (The Castro always closes the curtains and cuts the picture the end of the credits, so I didn't get to see any end logos on the 35mm.)

 Yeah, I have been wanting to fix the end as well, but don't know how to at this point. Maybe someone would have to get a 35mm print to get the outro. Do you have any footage of it for reference? I don't.

Death to modern intros on classic films.

I have been working on a restored version of Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure for a little bit now and just now decided to inform everyone. As some of you may know… the official BD release had the original Warner Bros. intro removed and replaced with a modern one… which drives me up-the-wall! Especially because the intro has the movie’s music playing over it. Well, that crap is no more. I personally restored the original intro in HD and it looks fantastic! I was able to edit the intro perfectly because Buster D (fantastic guy) sent me a short video capture of the Japan LD and it contains the original intro. I got the original intro in HD from the National Lampoon’s European Vacation BD and just had to trim it slightly to make it exactly as intended. Shout out to DoomBot, who I have been in contact with through the whole project and is going to be the first to sample my work. Hell of a guy.

I have a few more small tweaks to make and it’ll be ready to go. It also contains the original theatrical stereo 2.0 track in PCM, Buster D also sent me that and I had to sync it to the BD myself. Upon my work on syncing the LD PCM to the BD, I found added stuff to the 5.1 BD remix that wasn’t supposed to be there. So having the original theatrical mix from the LD is a huge plus. I will be more than happy to share when it is ready, if anyone wants it, PM me. Thoughts on this project???

That is some massive restoration there! Amazing! I get goosebumps thinking about the release!

Damn, this is so exciting! I'm sure all your hard work for years will be beyond worth the final completed product. Can't wait!

Damn, that looks good! I need this on BD now! Haha

Does anyone have the Smokey And The Bandit HD-DVD? I'm sure it is better than the BD because the BD has a little too much filtering.

Historical... words can't explain the excitement in these projects.

Pretty sad that the movie companies care much, much less about their films than we do. Keep up the amazing work.

Thanks. I hadn't even given it much thought. That would be a better place for it.

Mods, can you move this to the right section, sorry, I goofed.

There are many audio tracks from LDs that have to be filled in with alternate sources of the same audio to be able to sync to a BD release…

I need some pointers. I have LD 2.0 Stereo PCM audio that I must fill in a very small part of and I only have a 5.1 DTS-HD source for filling it in, what is the best way to downmix the 5.1 DTS-HD to 2.0 Stereo PCM without losing anything in the process?

Also, what do I do if both sources are different volumes?

No problem, I'm just happy that there was a BD that had it.

I just found out that it is available in HD from the National Lampoon's European Vacation BD. My quest is over...

I am in very bad need of a certain Warner Bros intro…

I need it for multiple projects and if anyone could tell me where to get it in HD, I would be VERY appreciative. I’m not sure if it is available on any Warner BDs because Warner tends to put new intros in the place of original ones, but I have seen multiple BDs that still retain their original Warner intros and there may be a BD that has this one I need.

Here is a video with the exact Warner intro I need in HD:

I only want the intro in 1080p HD, please.

Thank you.

poita, you are amazing... simply amazing.

You guys are truly making Star Wars history... Man, I can't even explain how happy I'll be when I can actually watch these films in original form in HD! Thank you from a long time Star Wars fan.

Hope you can get Jason Goes To Hell up soon... I have been waiting for that one. Great film. Beyond dumb that we didn't get the uncut version on the official release. I'm sure TeamBlu's release is better anyway... can't wait!

Yes, doombot and I were just discussing using the analog track. We might.

Yeah, the BD had the original mono like the DVD, but for some reason the time warp instrumental end credits track was changed to a different version... it was the 5.1 remix version. I have no idea why.

I was wanting lossless audio for the Nightmare films, but we found out that no LD release has the original mono soundtracks in digital form. So that is out.

Speaking of the uncut version of NOES, I wish we could get it in HD!

Thanks for the information. Do you know if there are multiple mixes of the films soundtrack on various LDs? I only own the pan & scan US release from 1992.

Buster D, You are truly helping me in a huge way, I thank you.

Very interesting on the differences on that track. I never knew about that.

Darn it! haha

Well, that's the breaks. I'm sure something will turn up at some point. Thanks for the information.

Let me know what happens with it. I really want the short restored from film elements, If possible.

Dang, that cheap?! How? haha
