OK so our cover guy needs this image from our version, where the heck is this shot lol? I have gone over it several times lol and cannot find it, my eyes must really be playing tricks on me.
No we have not, but it sure would be nice to have a nicer scan of this, I can't watch that video for to long lol, flickers way to much for me.

So how is the first TERMINATOR coming along? I would love to see that with proper color timing.
Also, has anyone thought of tackling the SUSPIRIA blu-ray to fix at least the more blatant contrast issues (such as the hot pink academy exteriors when Daniel approaches)? I'm trying to work on a guy on Teh Paradox, but I don't think he's interested.
We did try and You_Too has said it just can't be done with any of the BD releases, I will let him explain why when he sees this post, he said it would be easier to just upscale the Anchor Bay DVD since everyone seems to think it has the correct color, but I have not given up on it just yet, plus I still need the bit perfect PCM rip from the Suspiria Laserdisc.
So does anyone know if there is an English dub for Hard Boiled?
Thanks

no luck this side mate i'm afriad, have ripped the DVD to the hard drive but trying to recode it, extract it is proving difficult with the software i have :(
Wow I am not sure what you are doing lol, it should be real easy to rip just the DTS track from the DVD.
any pointers?
Well what did you mean by rip and recode? I do not want a recode lol, and are you ripping a DVD or Blu-ray? if it is DVD just use DVD Decrypter and just rip the DTS track, actually I use PGCDemux this will do the same thing, and both are freeware and very easy to use.
If you can let me know if you have any luck because if no one can get a English track then this video file is going to get deleted lol, it is useless to me without English.
Thanks

I am ripping it now!
Did you want the english dub or the french english italian mix?
English, that is the only language I know so really not interested at all in listening to the others lol.
Thanks

Any updates on these audio files either from bigrob or dvdmike? damn I guess I will not be watching it tonight lol.

I can rip it sure, the 5.1 will be an upmix
Great would love to have at least 1 English track so I can watch this thing lol, right now it is useless with all the Russian tracks, but the video sure looks damn good!
If I am reading this right there will be an English dub for The Killer, will there be one, or is there one for Hard Boiled? damn I hope so, I hate reading movies lol.
dvdmike said:
What is wrong with the UK PCM track?
Probably nothing lol, but a DTS 5.1 track is nice, do you have the PCM track to share? I will add that to if I can get it, but it has to sync to the long version, I am still waiting on English tracks at the moment, other then that I have everything ready to mux and burn.
Thanks
bigrob said:
disc is in my hand, will be getting the dts track shortly
any suggestions where i can upload it?
Sendspace is the only one I know of.
So this will sync right up with the BD video I just got last night from the ru tracker? the long version?
It would be real easy to make a DVD out of the MKV file but I would like to get my hands on the English DTS track first to mux my new BD, I have it already to go lol for possible viewing tonight.

Grand_bleu_720p 5.97 GB
this is the US cut, it's the same file name and size as mine.
The two BD rips should be the same (i have the 720p already for portable use)
the two soundtracks as well are different but be advised that there was a two disc release of the Eric Serra score with a whole CD worth of additional music and they have just released this month a new remastered album with some unreleased music and demos. i'm hoping to get this next month
a little bit more info for you
there are actually 4 cuts of the movie
French Theatrical version (134 mins)
European Theatrical Version (119 mins)
US Theatrical Version (118 Mins with recut ending and Bill Conti score)
Version Lounge (extended cut 164 mins)
To many versions lol, so do you have the DTS English track? I would love to get this longer version ready to watch but I need the English track first.
Thanks
I have these files so far lol,
Le grand bleu BD 30.6 GB................I am guessing this is the long version
The Big Blue-Bill Conti FLAC
Eric Serra - The Big Blue (1988) FLAC
Grand_bleu_720p 5.97 GB................this is the US cut I think
Le.grand.bleu.1988.BDRip.720p.x264-HDCLUB 11.8 GB...............long version as well
I am trying to figure out what all these are lol, I assume I have both versions here, it would be a lot easier if I actually knew this movie, also would be nice to have an LD bit perfect PCM rip of the audio.
bigrob said:
from memory, there isn't a DTS-MA 5.1 English track for it at all. closest to it is aa Dolby Digital 5.1 (640 kbps) on the Australian Blu-ray and a LPCM 2.0 track on the UK disc (be warned though as the first UK BD didn't have the English track, just a dubbed French track which they had to re-press)
there is also a DTS 5.1 track on the Japanese and Korean DVD's but that's the only DTS track released for it.
from what i recall on the other thread, there are a few subtle differences in timing between the two and some alternate footage as well as detailed here
http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/The-Big-Blue-US-edit-1988/post/578675/#TopicPost578675
the titles are also slightly different in both cuts
OK so it wouldn't be just a simple edit then, there is alternate footage and such, so it is just like our Conan project, thank God for Netflix HD for the alternate cuts for that or it would have never been possible.
Would you happen to have the DTS or DD tracks in English for the long version by any chance? I would hate to think I wasted my time downloading this to not be able to find one lol.
The edited version you mentioned above is that the US version? there are so many different versions there it is hard to tell what is what.
bigrob said:
i can demux the 5.1 audio from the MKV file i got here from rutracker and dropbox / upload it to you DJ but FYI if your at rutracker it's listed under
Le Grand bleu / The Big Blue (edited version)
and the Bill Conti score track is audio track 4 (the first two being Russain dubs and track 3 being a hybrid of US cut with Eric Serra score)
additionally, i do have the US laserdisc of the US cut as well (NTSC) with the original Stereo soundtrack
http://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/00652/31026/Big-Blue-The-(1988)
I am a massive fan of this film and have multiple DVD and Blu-ray editions of this as well as Laserdiscs, posters and the soundtracks (both Serra and Conti) so if anyone needs anything, give me a shout. I would love to see a 1080p custom Blu-ray of this to complete my collection
So is that the US version? I also have the 30 GB file which I assume is the very long version, and without an English track so I need to find the English track for that as well, damn I would have never grabbed that big ass file knowing it did not have English lol.
EDIT, I am going to watch the long version just as soon as I find an English track for it, really hope there is one there there, and I hope in HD, is the an English DTS-HD MA 45.1 track for the long version somewhere?
also can the US version be cut from the long version or is there different scenes or angles like with our Conan project that need to be edited in?
Damn I have not heard of this movie and read at IMDB on it and started grabbing it without even realizing there is a US version, so I am assuming the version I am grabbing is not lol, oh well at least I can still check this out.
Can a US version be made form the longer BD version or is it totally different like Conan lol? and is there an HD version of the US version anywhere? also what are the differences? sorry for all the questions I am new to this movie.
Well they have a nice 1080p file there that is 30 GB's but no English, then they have a 11+ GB 720p MKV file that does, this sucks, I want the 1080p file but need the English track, does anyone have the English track if I just grab the 1080p file? if it has enough seeders that is.
lol I never said not to do it, I am just saying how I feel about it is all, this movie is great, I friggin love it, and the score is great to, I just would leave it alone myself flaws and all, that is what makes this movie so cool, but don't not do it because of my opinion, I am just sharing is all.
See I love this movie, and I love it the way it is, so for me this is a terrible idea, maybe some might like this approach, but definitely not me, but I really, really hope someday this gets a blu-ray release and it is exactly how it is right now on DVD, don't touch a thing.
I wonder if HDNet is on Comcast\Xfinity? lol I guess it wouldn't matter, I can't capture it anyways.
Is there anyone here who is very good at using this program and pretty much knows the ins and outs lol? I am working on something and I need to know how to update\edit both the playitem video description in MPLS and the CLPI, the video the BD has is VC-1 but I want to replace it with our AVC encoded video.
Thanks

I may have missed this in the frenzy, but do you guys still need the LD for audio? I might have a lead on getting that disc for very, very cheap so I need to know
Yes as of right now we do not have the ripped audio from the LD, how cheap is cheap lol.
I have a guy that gets me all my bit perfect rips but he always asks to keep the LD when it is done.
