I believe one of the 4K remastered blu-rays also has a choice of the extended or theatrical cut by way of seamless branching.

 I have the Sony rip and it's close to the detail of the 4k but the colour is odd and may need changing

 IIRC, the CAN unmatted released looks pretty soft, as Alliance was using a master intended for HDTV (hence 1080i/1:78). Also, I believe it was compressed for a BD-25 with little bitrate room to breathe. As well as the IT, I think the Dutch BD might be better in terms of a raw base from which to work.

Furthermore, it might not be wise overall to use an open matte master, as it would be tedious if you were later try to recrop for 2:35. I don't think the 2:35 matte is a constant dead center. 

 I get where you're coming from, but the framing has changed from the theatrical twice 

Watch going too blue, or you end up like the BD.

The snow should always be white :)

How far away are we from an empire like Grindhouse release?

Se7en

The Criterion Collection

Mastered from the Laserdisc

Disc 1: Original film with commentary

Disc 2: Dailies, TV Spots, Original Introduction with Commentary, Make-Up Video Essay with

Commentary, Production Design Video Essay with commentary, over 1000 photographs in a photo gallery, 

original motion picture score (audio only) and an easter egg. 

 I got this last night also, its an amazing looking rip.

Would this be good enough to work on a colour like?

plus could a script be made to copy the matting?

He did change the matting on the first platinum DVD and again on the BD so would it be better to copy the theatrical matting?

Not the exact frame I know but:

The IT BD looks nice/grainy and could be used as a base for this project. 

Interesting color timing comparison of Se7en here:

 I know if that link, he is not 100% correct in his assumptions but some of the reasoning is correct.

Back to square one for this movie then ...... damn.  I hate newsgroup searching ..... it just isn't always easy.

:(

 Guys,

Nemesis is the one Trek film that has no SkyHd posting to the newsgroups. I don't think it was ever even broadcast on SkyHd. The only version that was ever posted was a terrible mpeg2 1080i that was full of errors and that was way back in 2006. I wouldn't worry about it. Nemesis looks and sounds great on Blu-ray.

 When HD started with Sky they did not have the rights to it 

I was talking on another forum about Se7en and the CCE prints that Fincher has tried to replicate digitally.

We know the LD from Criterion was struck from a CCE print, and nothing else to this date has been.

I do all my colour correction by hand and have no idea how scripts work (yes I make life hard for myself)

But if we got someone here to get a great rip of the LD could we colour like one of the older HD masters to get close to the LD?

And them maybe correct after using that as a base?

Yeah I know, found out after I spent a fortune, it did sound different but I got rid years ago 

That may be it, it was not OAR and pretty sure it was a full rate track

The Japanese DVD? Apparently, it's half rate : 755 kbps.

https://www.avforums.com/video/heat-dts-edition-dvd-review.1275

 it was 100% Asian but 100% not the Japanese disc, maybe Korean 

I had a full rate DTS dvd but not anymore :(

I care more about how nerfed the soundtrack was on BD

is there any update on the 35mm scan?

T2 is the best it has ever looked, and what you did with a modest LD capture of the guns and roses video was amazing.

Bravo guys 

Thanks, so how does T1 look?

 To my eyes? Like it had always looked before Reliance Digital ruined it.

It looks natural and of a film its age, if that film had an expensive 4k scan....

Yep I have Goldeneye I posted shots here I think

Seconded, where via pm pls 

I would  like to hear that alien Resurrection track, nothing has matched the cinema for me at home

Since Poita has returned, would preserving this in 3D be possible?

 Seconded, first thing I saw in 3d

I wish I knew this, I saw it was on and ignored it as I had the BD :(

I have that disc somewhere, you still need it? 

Do you happen to have the bit perfect LD rip of this? if not which LD is the right one? also isn't the new SHOUT BD the best of the releases? would love to revisit this and finish what I started a long time ago, but would need to get the LD audio and figure out which BD as the best PQ.

 I have the Arrow dvd and the UK and US bluray also (first releases) 

I did have the rip but the hdd I had it on died 

I have that disc somewhere, you still need it? 

The new scan is great but they cannot encode for toffee 

Awesome, love your work
