I might. Let me check my LD shelves (they’re at my studio which is away from my home.) if I have either I can import them for you.

now I just Need Tomorrow Never Dies and The World Is Not Enough ,I no longer need The Goldeneye PCM track, I bought the 1997 DVD from Ebay, which has the 2.0 Surround Mix, As well as the theatrical 5.1 mix.

this is a fantastic release!!!

The DTS 5.1 mix and the Dolby Stereo Mix on this release sounds amazing!! I wonder if the scanning facility used Dolby SR equipment when transferring the Optical mix, because it barely has any hiss or crackling, It sounds just as good as any digital mix in my opinion.

I have uploaded the 2.0 and the 5.1 Mixes from the 1997 Goldeneye DVD on Mediafire,if anyone wants the links to them , just PM me.

I have acquired the 1997 DVD of Goldeneye which has the Original Theatrical mix (from what I read online, the mix on the UE DVD and the Blu ray is a different mix) as well as the 2 channel Dolby Pro Logic Stereo Surround Mix (Most likely the same mix used on the 35mm Optical Dolby SR track) When I get the time I will upload both tracks to mediafire if anyone is interested

What an interesting thread. I am aware this workprint includes the original shot of Alec being shot in the head during the prologue.

they had to trim that shot because the MPAA would have given Goldeneye an R Rating. Screw the MPAA!!! This also happened with the Decompression Chamber Scene in License To Kill upon it’s release in 1989 , but fortunately it was restored on the Ultimate Edition DVD and the BD!!

Honestly, if you guys want SOTS in good quality the best idea would be to borrow the 16mm print and get it scanned on professional equipment at 2K or 4K. It would be much better quality than the 35mm scan, and you wouldn’t have misaligned dye layers that affect the 35mm IB tech prints of this film.

Here is a small sample of some 16mm trailers that were scanned at 2K. They come from a collector friend (they’re not my scans) so I’m not sharing the full thing and they’re downsized to 1080p, but just to give everyone the idea of the kind of quality you can get from 16mm:

can’t the scan be color corrected to match the original color timing?

And before you do that do you want to give me a donation maybe because you’re a big big Disney fan? 😉 Seriously guys I must pay poita back the $230 soon or that’s money he can’t spend on his own endeavours, if anyone can help send me a message. I will give you full previews of my scans in return.

whats your email? I will send you a donation through paypal

Die Hard looks excellent on 4K Blu-ray. I’ve never seen it on 35mm, so I’m no expert on the original color timing, but dang, the 4K Blu-ray looks excellent.

When I get a 4k Blu-Ray player, that is the first movie I am going to purchase!! I’ve seen clips of the 4k remaster and its phenomenal.

Oh, man, I hate to be the pain in the butt…

But it looks like you have some severe lossy compression in the lineage here. It shouldn’t look like this from good analog recording. Or you are somehow recording the Dolby Surround track instead Analog mono, idk…
It should go all the way up to 22kHz.

it is quite possible that the spectrogram is 100 percent accurate. Some audio sources don’t go above 16khz (it all depends on the source material)

okay, Thanks kchrules!!!

I wonder if anyone can sync the Goldeneye Laserdisc’s 2.0 PCM Track to this scan? That would be a great alternative to the Optical track (i’m not sure if the scanning facility is equipped with Dolby SR Noise reduction, the Optical track would sound a lot better if it was applied!!)

how can I obtain this rarity?

how can I donate to this project?

I would love to get a link to this amazing preservation!!

Does anyone on this forum have the Laserdisc PCM Mixes of Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies, and The World Is Not Enough? I would really like to sync those to the Blu-Ray versions!!!

DCP Back to the Future It looks fantastic, the best version. Thank you very much .

If you found the DCP on Spleen then there is also HD versions of parts 2 & 3 that were recently uploaded. They are not as good as the DCP… but much better than the official Blurays.

they are probably based off of the 2002-2003 DVD transfers, personally i have no issue with them, despite the grain! I wish i had an invite to myspleen, and blutopia!!1

I uploaded the Open Matte Full Screen Version of Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines  on * * * here is the link * * * REDACTED * * *
It has 5.1 English & French Vorbis Audio tracks in including 2 commentary tracks

where can I download this?

Well, 4:3 HD projectors do exist, & a plus to having a 4:3 projector is you can always fit an anamorphic lens on the projector to change the aspect ratio to flat 1:85:1, and any CinemaScope ratio, & still be able to watch native 4:3 content ( such as TV shows shot in the 4:3 Aspect Ratio from the 50's to the late 90's (until producers started filming in the 16:9 aspect ratio) without having black bars at the side of the image.

I wish that a manufacturer still made 4:3 HDTV's ( they were made in the late 90's to about 2004-05)

 I almost bought one, It was a Phillips Projection HDTV  4:3 around 2002. I had just replaced my 1989 Pioneer Projection TV with a Phillips projector back in 2001 then the next year I saw what looked to be the Identical set except it was HD, It was open box and I could of gotten it for $400. But I could not bring myself to buy a new TV when mine was working fine. There were many 4:3 HD Projection sets early on and there were some Hi Def CRTs too.  I still prefer CRTs to LCD and Plasma. Pictures were Brighter and sharper. But the some of the new 4K sets are now getting there.

yeah, the new 4k sets look really good, the Samsung SUHD nano crystal tv's & the LG OLED tv's are ones I have my eyes on.

If LG or Samsung could make a 4:3 OLED or Nano-crystal LED, I believe that it would sell fairly well (mostly to Graphics & Imaging Industry, & Post Production houses)

Samsung makes Cinemascope TV's (Ultrawide Series), so I think that they could make a 4:3 set with no problem

Ghost Dad, Both Problem Child Movies, The Matrix Trilogy, Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines, & so many others look better in full screen, because you get the entire image of the camera negative. The Matrix movies in Full Screen would look phenomenal on an IMAX screen. it would fill the whole entire screen with no black bars!!!

I also uploaded the Matrix Reloaded, & The Matrix Revolutions in an Open Matte Full Frame Version on Kickass torrents, here are the links * * * Links Removed ***

I uploaded a Pan & Scan DVD RIP of Timecop on Kick Ass Torrents, here is the link * * * REDACTED * * *
I ripped it from the 1998 DVD release, & it has 5.1 OGG Vorbis English Audio (Most Likely the Original Theatrical Sound Mix, the 2007-2008 remaster on DVD & HD-DVD most likely is a near field mix that was sweetened up.) & 2.0 French Audio.

This is probably the same transfer used for the 1995 Full Screen Laserdisc version.

The 20th anniversary DVD & Blu Ray Of Robocop does have a Dolby 4.0 track however (Which is the Original Audio, but Discrete 4 channel vs matrixed Dolby Stereo Pro Logic) so maybe that mix will sound better than the MGM 5.1 Remixed versions.

I've listened to the 4.0 mix. It's not much different from the 5.1 mix even though the 4.0 mix is listed as the original. I still prefer the Image & Criterion versions. One thing I'd like to know is if on the 4k release is the flashback shot of Joe and Emil when Murphy is operated on has been fixed. On the last release this shot came out very dark and you could hardly spot them.

 

The Image & Criterion DVD's probably come straight from the Dolby SR Master Tapes.
