They are old masters but miles better than the blurays and are the theatrical cuts

"They" are referred to HDTV or laserdisc versions?

It would be cool (to me, at least) to do a restoration project of EP1-8 with PAL laserdiscs as source (and EP9 from NTSC LD as no PAL LD was available) - EP1,2,7,8 have italian soundtrack, too...

By the way, EP6 on the PAL UK laserdisc boxset is the extended version, and include a prologue by Leonard Nimoy... IIRC the latter was not available on BD, right?

HDTV, I thought 6 was only the extended version worldwide on LD

I can tell you the NTSC LD that I have of ST: TUC is not extended. 

Every version on LDDB is the 113 min version

From Wiki

he Undiscovered Country was released on VHS and in widescreen and pan and scan formats on Laserdisc in June 1992;^[116] the release added a few minutes of new footage to the film.^[117] Because of a trend in supermarket video sales and rentals, Paramount offered rebates for the home video release of The Undiscovered Country through boxes of Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats.^[118] The Laserdisc version of the film was the tenth highest-selling video during 1992.^[119] The home video cut was later released for the film's 1999 DVD debut.^[117]

Be interesting seeing a preservation of Muse LDs. Anyone on the forum have a player? The Jurassic Park one would probably look like this except with a higher level of detail. It be interesting seeing HD transfers circa the late 90s, with substantially different color timing and contrast sensibilities. Terminator 2, Back to the Future, etc.

I have the Pioneer HLD-X9 and Panasonic LX-HD20 MUSE laserdisc players... If only someone would borrow me a MUSE decoder along with some MUSE discs, I would invest some money for a HD capture card!

Until today Jurassic Park [ruLes] - BD was snatched ten times... please seed it as long as you can, and don't forget to post your feedbacks here!

Oh dear god yes! then we can do Terminator, Dracula and BTTF also!

A professional 1080p scan of Star Wars would only cost $550 (well, if the place I'm talking about would scan copyrighted movies - they did a trailer for me). Much less than the cost of the HLD-X0.

4K would be a lot more: $5000 at the place I just looked at.

SO if we all chip in $5? I would go to $15, we need that guy on here asap

Paint can save as png, but I save them as .png from mpc

I do not think the Arnold fans is a credible source really. 

Until Fox put out a press release, I think it's better to think of it as not coming soon, it's been 4 years since the rumours started!

That's why I put images up and did not stop at one pass!

 My free time is rarely occupied, so I have issues with trying again and again

OAR?

Another day, another run! (I seriously need to get this done as projects are piling up!)

Knocked the contrast down further and got the encode down to 16gb

A few other shots from elsewhere in the movie:

What about a project based onto PAL laserdiscs?

That would be cool as a curio, but these are great looking filmic transfers.

Which Reservoir Dogs BD has the best AV quality? The US release has MPEG-2 encoding unfortunately. I know the French has AVC, the German has VC-1, and the Japanese has AVC. Now, I can't get the JPN, but between the French and the German, which is superior? The French is rumored to have some DNR.

They are absolutely the same frames - they even have the same specks of dirt.

The frames has been replaced. On the original two frames, there were the Doc with the remote control and Marty with the camera (Twin Pine mall scene). Those frames were not exactly the same.

Oh that, I uploaded them by mistake, as your quote included my edit I thought you were talking about the new ones 

Thought I was going mad there 

What is the betting this is the last we see of this :(

I have been looking off and on for 5 years, I should have ripped them when channel 4 in the UK showed them 6 years ago

The WOWOW is indeed less compressed, being the bigger file it should be,

But this results in little difference in most shots

It seems so, they're not the same frames though.

They are on my PC, look at the white dot that is there for only one frame.

Plus the WOWOW is not OAR 

Anyone have these?

The US blu has DNR, I am cutting back in all the unrated violence and the other extended/cut scenes 

Will download it tonight and check

Yeah was aiming for a bd25

I have the DVD extras I need the Criterion commentary yet tho 

First Run

New Run 

BD

I was not asking for them all tomorrow, just wondering how many are done.

Chill out a little!

I know JP was done and finished as i have it synced up, I was just wondering how things were going!

Anyone know if The Crow is out there, I am working on a re-edit and wondered if the original audio is about?

Oh do not get me wrong, I am far from saying the D is like a top tier Sony 4k remaster, but it is better......... slightly 

Next run with contrast changes encoding now!

Will update when its done.

If people are happy I need to cut the file down as at the moment its 40gb
