The Norsk BD of "Dawn of the Dead" (2004) arrived today, and I just checked the Scene with the topless woman, and.. long story short: It is uncensored!

The Norsk release (Finland, Norway, Dansk and Sweden) got an other Master than the censored universal master!

I will post some caps for quality check here soonm, and a BD Info scan.

Does anyone has the US BD of Dawn of the Dead 2004 for bitrate check?

Do you have an order link? and will they ship to the US, also is it region B or free?

Thanks a lot Mr Brown

Thanks, I was under the impression that the extended German version was only a TV broadcast not a disc release.

Now to track them down...

 

First it was only a TV Version. Later ist was on Blu and DVD only in a newly released Trilogy Box Set. But After some time it also was released as single Disc releases on Blu and DVD. So you Even get it on BD in Hd. Both extended DVD and Bd are labeled as "Director's Cut".

New "Other Release as US" Report:
The norsk Bd Release of the 2004 Dawn of the Dead Release is Stated to be uncensored regarding the naked breasts Scene. I ordernd it at Amazon.co.uk and will Report, if this is true.

Please do let me know, Thanks.

Have wanted to re-watch this classic lately but I only own the old crappy NTSC MGM DVD. :( Seems to be some serious trouble making a properly done release of this one, some good info on the various video release problems here:  http://www.forafewdollarsmore.net/ The German DVD came close. Wasn't there someone on this board a few years ago who made a DVD of the uncut version with the original english audio?

Yes LeoneNut did The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly "Rome Premier Cut", Fistful of Dollars "Uncut", 2 versions of For a Few Dollars More "Uncut", as well as these Westerns, Pat Garret and Billy The Kid "Extended", Once Upon a Time in The West "Extended Italian version" and Duck You Sucker (A Fistful of Dynamite) "Extended".

Well it is not a movie but I just finished watching the entire first season of Game of Thrones in just a few days, and DAMN was it great! but the 1 thing I just hate lol is why, oh why, did Lord Stark have to die? he was by far the coolest character in the show.

deleted for the extreme paranoid

But in the meantime, the Dark_Jedi V3 DVDs are my version of choice.  I respect what Harmy and co are trying to do with the combination of sources, but GOUT restorations are better for me, both from a purist standpoint (NO SE changes, no matter how miniscule), and from an aesthetic standpoint (while it's all quite seamless, I still notice the transition from one source to another; I prefer it to be uniform, even if the overall quality isn't as good).

Thanks CA, I really appreciate that comment very much, but just wait until you see the new version U2 and I are doing, I am also going to encode a new DVD file for those with the V3 so they can swap out the vids to make a V4 DVD.

again, Thanks for the kind words.

Why do you have two ME3s?

 And six empty ACIII boxes?

I smell an ebay scam coming.

LMAO! nice one dude, but you Sir would be wrong, I already said what I have them for.

scam on ebay, you are to damn funny.

Not familiar with sarcasm or tongue in cheek humor?

If that is what it is, but I am pretty sure that is not what you meant, but who cares, carry on.

doubleofive said:

lol I actually have a 3rd ME3 N7 CE coming, but the reason I have 2 is because 1 is my Little Boys, and 1 is mine, and the reason for having 4 extra AC III steelbooks is because I will trade them on Blu-ray.com to members there that can't get them or just miss out.

I just picked these up Tuesday, Good Times!

dark_jedi said:

Just to many to list, but this is approximately how many of each I have,

DVD's = 2000+

Blu-ray = 600

Update,

LD's = 100+

DVD's = 2150+

Blu-ray = 800+

LD's are not growing anymore, have zero interest in them now.
DVD's are growing very, very slowly.
Blu-ray collection grows a little more each week.

My apologies if this has already been asked, but did you fix the color timing on the "day for night" shots of Conan running from the wolves for your theatrical reconstruction? If so, I think I may be interested in getting this.

You don't want this, the colors are set to the Blu-ray, it would have taken to long to try and set the whole thing to the Theatrical color timing.

But, I may revisit this sometime in the future and try again, someone here offered to take a look and see what can be done and he really knows his stuff when it comes to this, ideally it would be nice to have a setting I can just drop on the whole film and just do the "Day for Night" thing as you put it separately, we will see, because I am not done messing with Conan yet lol, I still have some more ideas of things I want to do with this.

Funcha said:

Sorry, meant to say "black space" frames at the beginning of the video as there was about a second's worth before the film starts.

There is a lot more to it than just that alone, if that is all you did, then your version is not 100% in synch I can tell you that, because there are spots where it goes way out and then comes back, then goes way out again, so you might want to re do that if that is all you did, I went through the whole timeline on my uncensored fixed version.

Well I haven't gotten any feedback yet on this clip and being impatient as I am lol I went ahead and put it in synch with the US Blu-ray and encoded a new DTS-HD MA 5.1 track and burned a test BD, I will watch and listen to it tonight, I just hope I got it right(fingers crossed).

So is there an HD version of this to be had anywhere at all?

Damn I really would like to do something with this and my 2 CD OST Set lol.

@ hairy_hen, We are not nearing completion any longer so please take your time with your issues and hopefully we will be ready when you finish up on your end, so again, please take your time in your efforts, I am sure these will sound great when done, Thank You.

@ Everyone else, This project is on hold indefinitely for the time being, sorry.

OK here is a very small clip with all the errors hopefully fixed, please take a listen on a surround system because I need all channels checked, this is just a DD 5.1 sample, the new track will be a DTS-HD MA 5.1 completely in synch with the US Blu-ray.

Thanks

And Felicia Day is cute.

You got that right, damn cute.

This movie still cracks me up, everyone I show it to likes it, not right at first, but they end up liking it.

Moth3r said:

Downloaded the sample.

I like the color choices. I'm also fine with the level of grain. However, I found the flickering/aliasing artefacts to be distracting and I think more work is needed on this.

What is your filter chain? I'm assuming you've got a stabilisation stage then an upscaling stage; if you're using AviSynth for these bits would you post your script?

I totally agree with you here M, I actually have mentioned this above already myself, and it has been brought to my attention in PM's as well, this is the only thing that bothers me now that we got the "red bleeding" issue taken care of, as much as I try not to look at it lol, my eyes still seem to zoom right in on it, We are discussing this now to see what we can do, from reading your response it seems you are willing to help?

Thanks for your feedback M, it is greatly appreciated.

OMEN!-_-! said:

As for what program I use, it's my little secret (mostly because I don't want Dark Jedi, Harmy and other editors here taking the piss)

LMFAO! you certainly do not have to worry about that, too damn funny!

hairy_hen said:

As soon as my S/PDIF issue is corrected, I'm going to finish the new audio as quickly as possible, as I'd really like to have it included here . . .

As would We and I am sure anyone else that may be interested in BLU V2.

Are you responding to PM's these days? if so I have an audio question for you if you are.

Thanks

dark_jedi said:

Hey negative1 please clear out some of your PM's, I can't respond to your last one because you are full lol, so do some cleaning.

oops..

 

sorry about that...yeah, that box keeps getting

full, even after i clean it up. ha ha..

we should be good now.

 

later

Thanks, it went through this time.

Don't worry, the grain is going no where, and we have our "red bleed" problem fixed, so soon we will be all caught back up to where we were.

We are doing 1 movie at a time, getting everything done that we can(the stuff for U2 and I) then moving on to the next film, my menu guy is busy at the moment and then he will have the updated menu's done, now we really would like to add the new h_h audio in with this new V2 BD Set but, if we get all our video assets done and I finish all my new audio files, as well as getting the menu's done, and all updated cover art, I am afraid that we are not going to wait much after all that, I know a lot of people would like to have, U2 and I included, but we have(especially me) spent a ton of time on this and we want to get it done and move on to other exciting projects(NON STAR WARS).

Now I am not trying to rush him at all, but with other projects nearing completion, and ours nearing completion, it might just get to late, and I honestly do not know where he even is on this new version, I do not know if he needs some more files from me, or if there is an issue or 2, I just don't know.

Well that is it for now, also the sample is no longer available.

*edit, also the above was decided by both You_Too and I, not just me, we are both wanting to finish this and move on, but at the same time We want to make this the best damn GOUT project to date, and We feel that this is going to accomplish this easily.

The wall panels look f__king awesome in the bottom pic.

Yea I agree, I do not understand the "washed out" comment though, they look like nice white corridors to me, but to each their own right?

sample is coming down very soon.

dlbsyst said:

I for one want the grain left exactly as it is in the sample. To my eyes it looks very sharp and looks more like a film print. Please do not DNR this release.

Don't worry, this will not happen.
