FWIW, as far as ROTLA, there's also a 20GB version on RuTracker using the same HDTV master dvdmike, speaks of. I downloaded it awhile ago, and it's really high quality.

For the Terminator shots, I really like the color-corrected timing that dark_jedi and You_Too have done. The teal cast is removed; however, it looks more accurate than the old transfer, which itself never seemed entirely accurate color-wise.

So there is! it is the 1080i original mine was made from by the looks of it!

I will get it and make my own encode!

No idea, it is from the WOWOW broadcast, not the lesser BBC Lowry mess of a transfer, it is well done and well encoded.

I think it looks more natural and more like the film I know, there are issues with sharpening and aliasing, but they are the same set of transfers on disc for Doom and Crusade.

There are caps in the colour timing thread I linked to earlier today.

A quick look on usenet pops up with 

[#a.b.hdtv.x264@EFNet]-[ Raiders.of.the.Lost.Ark.1981.1080p.HDTV.x264-W23 ]

That was uploaded in 2010 so it not the new master, and I think we have hijacked the thread a little

No problems guys, I have taken so much from here it was long overdue I gave back

It is sharpened a little but I personally think it resolves more detail, it is the same master set LaserPacific did that the Blu's of Doom and Crusade came from

I saw it 35mm not too long ago and it was 100% green/blue

The orange flags really highlight this issue

I literally just registered here to say how much I love the color restoration that's done on this project. It actually looks like a **gasp!** cheap movie filmed in 1984! I said as much in the Bluray.com thread and, naturally, was laughed out of the page...

People over there claim the BD "finally replicates the actual colors of the film after all these DECADES of wrong transfers"...They don't seem to get that color correction isn't applied like a bad teal filter over the image like on the studio transfer.

Anyway keep up the good work and I'd love to see you do the same thing with the Raiders transfer!

Raiders already has the Wowow HDTV versions so we have the original timing 

I think it is as good as it is going to get and miles better than the studio release 

This could be my default go to watch of the trilogy due to the DTS

No worries, all the files are up and ready

Speaking about the Raiders Blu Ray color timing, I don't mind it. I think it looks quite nice, having no clue about what the original looked like. I read the whole teal / orange push. I will say the 2004 Star Wars colors are very bothersome. So grateful for fan edits

I think it would be really interesting to see a side-by-side comparison.  It's been a while since I put the RAIDERS blu in, but I don't remember it being as heavily skewed as the new TERMINATOR blu looks.

Working with the 97 SE Trilogy files was actually pretty fun, can't wait to hear them while watching our SE Blu's

You guys are using the Cinema DTS for those, correct?

Yes, this is our main audio for our 97 SE Trilogy Blu Set.

The what set? I missed that, I thought the 97 set would not sync with anything

We are doing an OT 720p Blu Set as well as a 97 SE 720p Blu Set, as a matter of fact SW and ANH 97 SE are about done, both are BD25's.

Fantastic! no idea how I missed that! thanks

I think The Matrix is in a similar situation with other Warner 90's titles such as the later Batman films. Dolby and DTS releases theatrically, Dolby on LD, and for the new DVD/BDs a new 5.1 mix made from master files but re-EQd and mixed for modern homes and soundbars. And put into Dolby TrueHD.

So in essence The Matrix hasn't been heard in DTS since 1999.

I thank those on the lookout for Goldeneye and TND.

I'd like to request the DTS for The World Is Not Enough (may have had a ES  presentation) and for Batman Forever.

There was no Batman Forever DTS mix, Just SDDS and Dolby

God I wish we could get SDDS 8 mixes 

The Matrix would have been the theatrical Dolby mix or created from scratch from the original mix and encoded as lossless

Yep I did it today, it is on that site 

I found it and grabbing it, but would have much rather had the 6 mono wav files instead, but this will do.

It is a shame we do not have anything to sync the star wars discs to

I'm beginning to realize this about the BD forum...what have I gotten myself into?

Get out while you still can!

Free was a pretty good sale, right?

What source is the alien resurrection track?

Cinema DTS

Forget blu-ray.com. That website is a joke.

Awesome project, guys. Keep up the good work!

We need this in stone somewhere

Its the only one the CDS track will sync with

What source is the alien resurrection track?

I think a little yellow is what is needed, not a ton just a push towards it 

That last one of Sarah is perfect, the sky is blue again!
