GoldenEye's AC3 LaserDisc track has bloated LFE, which was fixed on the DTS LD. 

Is this on the LD as was reputed to be on the SE DVD? It would make sense as the LFE is very bloated.

That too can depend on the film.  Take Batman Forever.  The PCM mix is great, but lacks the spatial characteristics of the AC3 mix.  Both great, but the AC3 is truer to the intent of the film.

The Lion King?  Yeah, PCM hands down.  

A lot of folks also prefer the PCM track of Top Gun to the AC3 version.  I surely don't.  I think the AC3 one rocks big time.  There's a preservation that is worthy!

On Forever it's neck and neck. The PCM has a more natural soundstage and bass, but the ac3 has intensive clarity and defined discrete channels.

Apocalypse Now is best on the 1991 release in PCM. The later 5.1 LD and DVD/BDs aren't the same.

Hunt For Red October, Die Hard and Batman all sound better on LD PCM than the remixes, even the LD ones! Especially Batman. One of the best Dolby Stereo mixes ever done IMO.

Remix on October, Die Hard and Batman? They all had six track 70mm presentations 

How do we know the DVD to be correct?

I saw the HDNet version off my DVR service which has HDnet for free.  Little to no real detail.  There is film grain,just that the the resolution  does not look like HD from the current era has to be a really old transfer.  Was in scope aspect ratio and not zoomed in.

Definitely not fit for BD quality wise if they dumped this master to disc i would be really pissed.

There were little give aways in the image to suggest this was from a theatrical print and not the o-neg.

The Print originally had a very fine grain and was soft looking any ways but i think this was because of early gen scanning technology rather than the print itself.

Super 35 is has far from fine grain and the night shots had quite a lot of grain 

Pcm normally is truer to the source than AC-3 or DTS

Yeah they do not look great

There is no Muse of True Lies,  and no real grain in that MPEG 2 TS

I find it odd both cuts of undiscovered are on iTunes

Can you grab shots? I only have the SD Itunes TWOK

Anyone watch it last night?

I believe the ONLY version I have is an older LD rip that made the rounds some time back.  A cool movie in it's own right.

 

Here are the specs for what I have ....

Video:
MPGV  (VOB)
Resolution: 720x480
Frame rate: 29.97
Data Rate: 7260
Total bitrate: 7516

Audio:
Codec: A52
Channels: Stereo
Sample rate: 48000
Bitrate: 256 kb/s

3.40GB in size

Sounds close to mine The_Keep_1983_The Keep (1983).par2"

I'm content being able to watch what I have though it would be nice to have better pq.

I found this ...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=151055766008&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en

Looks like it's laserdisc sourced ..... I could be wrong.

No way that looks Laserdisc looks more like the sat rip

Flv, I think. I posted all the specs I knew how to change up above. 

Wow, great find!

Ah got it, I say rip it and lets see what we have, we can edit and colour correct it later 

ww12345 said:

Ok, so what do you think of the 1-2 min I capped? Any changes in quality I should make?

What format are you ripping it in and what adv bitrate?

Look what I found http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMYExzEOmic

I would not call it HD in a heartbeat but its workable and looks to have more detail than the sat rip and miles more than the LD and can be worked with to get it looking nice 

Hot damn, mobile right now will check it out in a bit

Wait, it's in HD on Amazon?!?!

Amazon is not wide availability? 

Interview in new Home Cinema Choice in the UK talk to Arrow's restoration head and ask him if they can get it and he said he would love to work on it.

And yes, Sky show it in 2.35:!
