*** The Official DigitalFreakNYC Release Thread*** (SW, Indy + Others!)
Time
Just a quick update:

I'm picking up Babyhum's mastering of two of the Indy specials so those should be up this weekend, barring anything else.

Also, sorry for the delay regarding Se7en but I wanted the sync to be absolutely perfect on the commentary and the movie so I completely re-did the first disc. It should be done by Friday and plan on working on the second disc this weekend.

So some good stuff coming up!!

I guess I do have an earlier version because all that extra stuff definitely isn't on there. Looking foward to downloading this. I'm assuming that the first movie is coming along? If not, I have that one as well.

Rikter,

I had the "official" version of this 2 disc set and it didn't have the making of Superman 2 on it nor the trivia track. Was there re-encoding done on this??? There had to have been because I don't think there would be room for that making of special if there wasn't. Personally, I'd rather have that special have it's own release rather than try to cram it onto this one.

Is the whole thing in 16x9 or just the parts where it's the original movie and the tv parts in full screen? My version is completely full screen.

I've heard of this and would love to see it. They also sell one of Se7en. Both apparently have atrocious quality so I never bothered but if I saw them, might be a different story. If anyone has a "hook up" i'd be interested.

Great extras, indeed. Too bad they probably lost the rights to them already and won't rerelease this on DVD... just as they won't release their short-lived "Spinal Tap" exclusive once again... :-\


Yup. good thing I'm doing my version

Of course, the editing suite won't be as exciting technically but I assure you, seeing several takes of Keanu doing the same lines (some of which are vastly [read: upsettingly] different). And then of course, the two audio tracks. I'm debating making this a dual layer.

The Indiana Jones Project (Released)

The first 3 releases will be the two Raiders "making of" specials that have already been released and the making of Last Crusade. The Raiders specials will have a higher video bitrate and will NOT be using a PCM audio track. The original master was mono so there's no need for a large audio file when that could be going towards video quality. I'm sure you'll all be very pleased.

The mastering of the BR transfer that Farsight has done is fine, have you seen the original LD of this movie?
I give you cred for your effort Farsight!




Ummm...yeah. I own the Criterion laserdisc.
