Star Trek Into Darkness Bonus disc (Released)
Time

Let's get a hold of ourselves here.

First of all, there's no extra Vudu material.

Second, the German disc is going to have the bonus material from Target.

Third, Best Buy in the US DOES have additional bonus material on cinemanow but NOT on the disc. However this additional material is actually on the disc in Canada and is exclusive to there.

Fourth, the Sainsbury DVD is the same as Target/Germany.

Fifth, there is no Wal-Mart bonus disc.

Done.

It's been upconverted, by their own admission on the page.


But still comes direct from original 35mm if that is the case it is still unmolested and untimed 

If it is an upconversion it is from an HD or close to it source, no way it is SD but at some point it was interlaced 


Read their responses. It's an SD source.

They haven't taken out the film reels in years.

Harmy's THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK Despecialized Edition HD - V2.0 - MKV & AVCHD (Released)

I think it is HD, but from a much worse source than other HD sources.  Like scans of a spliced-together projection print (which would result in quality around the level of -1's project, which I think it does).  The Sebastian Shaw ghost looks better than what we've got right now IMO, but like you said earlier, it's not enough frames for anything useful.  Oh well.


It's not. The THX people responded and said it was upconverted.

People saying the WOWOW was too cold and not warm enough...

 

Not the best source or encode but THX WOW HD Vs. WOWOW

Uhh...what's this THX WOW HD?? The Wow demo was never released in HD, AFAIK.

i have interest in changing the samplerate or making a custom blu-ray ;)

besides, if going from 44.1khz to 48khz makes the audio sound worse, then all of the ld audio transfer and theatrical dts mixes to blu-ray would sound bad. but they don't :P ;)


Exactly. I've never heard any difference in the upsampling I've done for my laserdiscs.

I'm very excited this is finally here.  I had converted your previous Vimeo version to a DVD, but this will certainly be better quality, and I'm looking forward to downloading it.  Thanks for all your hard work!


Where is the vimeo version?

I'll wait for a torrent on this. Not sure how the rapidshare links work but it's not working for me.
