Well it actually doesn't matter how many sides a film on laserdisc is presented on. If it's in CLV or CAV won't affect the quality of the film (noticeably). The quality of this particular Blade Runner transfer sucks because of shitty mastering, pure and simple.


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.

I couldn't disagree more. I've done a lot of recordings in both xp (1 hour) and sp (2 hour) on my recorders and the 2 hours are always worse than the one and I've decided that, on the whole, I'd rather burn a dual layer disc than a single layer that looks worse.
I think the only reason why dual-layers aren't being used now is because the price is so high and so few people are using them. But rest assured, any of the files *I* put up here that are longer than 2 hours will be dual-layer. The hi-def age is here and I'm not going to be stuck behind the 8 ball because single layer is cheaper at the moment. I want to preserve things in as best a quality as I can.

Probably a combination of both. 2 hours is two long for a single layer DVD. What I don't understand is that you'd be better off taking the regular BR dvd which is essentially 16x9 already, adding the fake ending, editing out the dream sequence and just mixing in the VO to the soundtrack. That would give you nicer results than an LD transfer.

Don't be so sure. Some people have said that sometimes it is...and sometimes it isn't..depending on where you are and whatknot.

Is there a way around the encryption?

Do you know which version they're gonna air?


Directors Cut.

But even if you're looking for the original version, this is still going to be the best master we have if anyone is able to capture it. The current DVD is single layered and terrible quality. If one captured this correctly, they could have a full dual layer, anamorphic set with possibly 5.1 sound! Do we know if that channel is encrypted?

Thanks a lot guys. I was starting with myspleen since "they" are the ones who've helped me out so much in the past with star wars stuff but their rules about seeding can be strict. We'll see how I make out there and if not, I'll just have to go somewhere else. Can those other sites link to the torrent if I start on Myspleen? I really hope you guys enjoy it.

I'm going to see how much room is left on disc 2 as well. I might add the entire score soundtrack as a bonus "audio only" feature.

Update:

Disc one is completely done. I'll start working on the "extras" disc and should be done by this coming weekend. Hopefully I can get permission to start seeding it!! If any of you have an "in" with the mods on myspleen, put in a good word for me

Sorry for the delay in all this. This is my very first time making menus and such so I'm learning as I go. The ones on this first disc are pretty primitive but they work. And it's a full motion menu with music. Hope you enjoy!

I have a VHS copy of the original master for the "re-release" of the workprint. They showed it again in the late 90's and I got a "limited edition" copy from the master. I paid like $30 for it too.
I also have the Gongo edition CD. No mp3 if you want no compression.

I have a trailer in 16X9 Mode and NTSC, from a Warner DVD (not the blade runner DVD). If you want it..., please PM


The re-release yes?

I'm picking it up from the post office today. Apparently it's pretty old and was shown on Jaws night one night in the UK. I think it's about an hour long and has different interviews than the laserdisc boxed set. It got raves for being better than the laserdisc for a while but I doubt it. That thing holds a special place in my heart. I'll let you know!

Again, may have been asked...ac3 or pcm soundtrack?

When we know stuff like this, we'll post it. But right now our main concern is producing the best LD transfered video you've ever seen.


I'm confused. Why wouldn't the soundtrack have anything to do with producing the best final product? aren't you doing both at the same time or are you JUST working with video?
