It looks like a VHS master!

It is a gold mine that list!

That is a terrible looking disc, they actually sold that??

Does anyone have this????? Seriously can you PM DJ 

I am also not worried if you and the team are on the case! 

Me on my own took ages and ages! 

I don't have a link for the video yet, I think I get the duck hint if you drop me a pm.

I think that it's worth preserving, but if its the same source I found it will need a lot of timing work to get the golden hue back and get rid of the megenta

So is there a good 1080p version of this out there somewhere? and was the DD 5.1 track ever obtained?

 It would be an upmix, it didn't have a 5.1 release as far as I know

NP, I do love that in the other thread we had the shot of the 35mm and my colour matches it from memory almost spot on! #Vindicated

Got the file in the "project drawer" (thanks, dvdmike!) but should find time to do it...

 What did I do?

Guys, we need a DCP rip. Plain and simple.

 The DCP would be nice, but even Nolan's trailers are locked!

Is this nasty contrast/broken day for night shots fixable using colour like?

Or is it something that needs to be done by hand?

I think it looks great 

I ripped this the other day to test my set up

Not sure if I am late to the party, or if anyone wants

The Sky does not have the same amount of Dnr the Bluray has although it has compression artifacts and slight filtering due to there poor encoders. Take a screenshot of both when the sparks are coming off the wheel of the Delorean and you will see alot are missing on the Bluray due to automated clean up. The Hdnet version is more filtered than the Sky from what I remember.

 Ah so I saw DNR but its the same master that was then over DNR'd for the BD.

DO you have the file names by chance? I am only finding the HDnet over and over 

 As far as I remember it could be Sky's own filtering due to there encoder rather than DNR on the HDTV master.

I get what you mean, it's a shame a DCP will never be made for the sequels.

Mind you we are beyond lucky this was unlocked in the first place.

Before the DCP came along the Wowow version of Back to the Future was the best but obviously had subtitles. The guy that did the original encode of the DCP prior to this originally used the Wowow and meticulously removed the subtitles using the Harold Nipps method (spoRv, I,ll send you information about this method later if I can find it), it must of taken him days as you could not see any instance of the subtitles is was that good, the best I've seen.

The DCP is the same master that was used for the Wowow broadcast minus all the compression artifacts that come with television encoders and is the best available until a 4K master comes along.

Now that should put that debate to bed once and for all. Same questions over and over asking the same thing that has already been discussed prior.

Canal+ with logo (15 Mbps) of 2 is the best followed by Sky Hd (average 10 Mbps).

That puts that to bed.

Sky Anytime Hd of 3 (average 13 Mbps) is the best followed by HdNet (18 Mbps).

That puts that to bed.

 I have Sky and I thought 3 when I saw it looked like the BD, I have the HDnet versions of 2+3 and am looking for more 

 but without the dnr and ee right?

 Not that I remember no, thats why i said it looked like the BD.

It was a while ago tho 

Anyone have the file names of the Sky version?

Apparently, there is a WOWOW for Back to the future, by CtrlHD. Here's what they say in their NFO:

This BD is the best of the 3 movies PQ wise but that isn't saying much :/ 
so I used the superior wowow cap that had Jap subs burnt in for every spoken 
word and used another source to overlay the subs using the patented haroldnipps 
method. I prefer this to the BD and so do quite a few other people on the site as 
it at least resemebles film and doesn't have major EE, sharpening, and filtering.

 I have this the Canal + the DCP, the DCP is better by far

Why?

Nope, it's a nightmare to find, I had it but it was missing rars 

I can get back on it if you want and use all my Google Fu 

Liking the 3 disc

Supposedly the new Lionsgate May 19 re-release while not a remaster has the best picture quality of all releases of the existing master including the French Hd-dvd and Japan Premium V1.0 and V2.0. There is no visible Dnr or EE and the new encode supposedly brings out more detail compared to all above.

 Kinda, but not really.

There is so little between that ant the UK optimum disc, but at least that does not have the vertical stretch

Guys, have you noticed this issue before?

http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/130447

The problem is here since the 2002 transfer but was corrected for the BD release.

Strangely, there's a similar issue in The Shining as well.

 Yeah its known, but the green in the "corrected" does not help

most were scanned at 6k anyway

It's a mess, they screwed the pooch.
