I haven't had a chance to check the DCP file out yet, but what are the opinions on its 5.1 DTS track?  I'm assuming it was redone/remastered for digital cinema, but is it still pretty faithful to the original theatrical feel?  I don't recall there being much to complain about with the Blu-ray audio, but maybe that's because I was so distracted by the video problems that I didn't notice audio problems.  And I'm just assuming the 2.0 PCM track is awesome.

 It's not bad the PCM sounds better tho 

So this is a re-encode, anyone have access or is able to get someone who is to find out the media info from the file?

Was it actually 2k or 1080p, bitrate and audio and such? 

Only AC-3 here sorry think the DTS is the DC tho

It was mono so you want to find an early laser

Got the full file, thanks to everyone who made it work I will make sure and seed it when my isp lets me 

Like I say a lot in here all WB movies are incorrect on BD, Demolition man is very teal pushed and I think the DVD was too pink like all 90s masters.

It was way more black and white if that makes sense

Even if I love MPEG2 - and I'm sure you know it - AFAIK this one is ridden by many compression artifacts, while the UHE is DNR'ed a lot... neither is perfect, and probably I'll end to choose the MPEG2 even if has those artifacts; but, as the UHE has more details and no compression problems, and *IF* a grain plate overlay could make it more watchable, ***MAYBE*** the final result could be preferable by some... that's it!

I don't plan to do a restoration now, but maybe some users who watched the test clips could think if it will be an interesting thing to do, or simply a waste of time...

At the end, is just an "excercise of style" to understand if the grain plate technique could improve a bit a DNR'ed video... I thought also to test it with the MPEG2 version, to see if it could mask a bit the compression artifacts... what do you think?

 Ridden is a stretch it is not that bad

I do not see the point if we have the MPEG release, Doing a colour like for JP using the DNR 3d versions colours sure, as that makes a better release.

But I do not see the reason for this

Sorry, I mistyped "downscaled"... indeed, it was UPscaled, and less than double size... so, now I'm testing a new grain that is between the 35mm and the "16mm" recreated grain; I'll post results ASAP.

Out of interest is there any way you can copy detail from on source (MPEG 2 Blu ray) and overlay it on another (UHE Blu) like you colour match scripts?

 AFAIK, is not possible... but I will be more than happy to be wrong about it!!!

@dvdmike: what is AAWWIL?

 American Werewolf 

It now looks like a Lowry title of AAWWIL you can see the DNR under non period grain

The Rocketeer would be a great Team Blu release. Only if you guys would be putting tons of bonus features for the project.

 Are there any extras? Kevin smith did a great podcast on it with Billy that could make a cool non scene specific commentary 

|Got it on the way, THANKS to all involved :)

The MPEG is the only way I will watch this film until a 4k master pops up 

:)

Nope they are all the same master 

That's half the battle

Yeah unless you have a shooting script or at last a plan I don't see how you can make it work 

MGM went weird about that time with DVD's my silence of the lambs and a few others had the glue leak and basically ruin the discs 

Some of the SDDS 8 titles have pretty good height info in the HD mixes may just be a coincidence 

Its the reason I have height channels set up rather than side rears 

and where would one put the other channels??

The things I would do for a home sdds 8 mix

Ok got the video at 23.976 and the 5.1 track synced added the commentaries but cannot for the life of me get the mono to sync!

LD audio please with the BD audio also 

Miles better
