Yes it I'm pretty sure it was printed on 35mm and scanned for the video release.
The best quality I have is a rip from my LD, I've searched everywhere else and sadly it seems to be unavailable in HD.
Unfortunately you can't do that because the open matte version is slightly cropped on both left and right sides...
I think I'm going to make a "custom" version of the movie. Which would basically be the most accurate to the theatrical version.
Including both English and French original mono tracks.
Still not sure about which version I'll use tho, the Mondo looks really good to me. The 4k is great and maybe better in some scenes... Will see.
I have two questions anyway.
1) Is the Mondo a theatrical version or an extended one?
2) What is the bitrate of the audio tracks on the 98 DVD?
I also tried to regrade it, plus a slight "boost".

A bit overexposed but nothing too harsh.
Looks better than the "pee" yellow tint to me...

Meanwhile, I'd like to know if our french friend here has captured the french laserdisc soundtrack - honestly, I can't remember if he has done it or not... I could capture the italian laserdisc soundtrack for BTTF1 (the only laserdisc of the trilogy available in this language) but I will be really happy if someone else could do the same for the german and spanish soundtracks!
I've obviously captured the French trilogy LD stereo tracks :)
Also did that with the English tracks from my NTSC trilogy and synced them to DCP and HDTV but a lot of people here actually want them "bit-perfect".
Since I've decided to capture the analogue stereo track for each film, bit-perfect doesn't mean anything. Again I use a professional sound card to capture my audio tracks, my LD player is not bad at all and has some really good analogue audio outputs.
This is how it looks when you don't neutralize the greys and you color correct with your eyes instead, though it was interesting to try.

News of the DCPrip is awesome, has someone mentioned whether the credits are correct aspect?
And the wheels on the Marty's skateboard are pink in the Delorean scene. Same master as DVD.

DCP video + laserdisc bit-perfect audio = interesting result... (^^,)
In particular because there are different languages laserdiscs - beside english, there are french, german, italian and spanish, all available at least for part 1.
French audio tracks are available for part I, II & III ;)
No they are not bit-perfect but I don't think that makes a huge difference unless you want to listen to them on a big theater audio system.
They were captured with a Presonus prosumer sound card using the line inputs.
The laserdisc audio tracks are already available and synced to the HDTV/DCP versions :)
PM'd you.
Not sure. But you'll find a link somewhere quite easily.
Dude, seriously? Second post of this page :) I should have mentioned "Part" 2 maybe?

I agree it's dcp - wowow - canal+ - HD Net -DVD - LD - VHS - being poked in the eyes - BD in that order
Okay, so at the moment we have available in HD(not including BD):
Part I - DCP, WOWOW, and HDNet
Part II - Canal+ and HDNet
Part III - HDNet
It's not looking good for Part III. Does anyone know if the WOWOW or Canal+ is available for it? (PM me if you happen to have a copy of one of these)
Part I - DCPrip, WOWOW (subtitles removed), Canal+, HDnet
Part II - Canal+ (logo removed), HDnet
Part III - HDnet

Good news guys, I found something that might interest the most of you!
The BTTF 2 Canal+ Version with removed logo. It's a 1080p x264 20mbps file.
Here's a screenshot compared to other versions:
Canal+ (logo removed): http://someimage.com/hcrIqCp
OG Canal+: http://someimage.com/I1Nf7Bq
HDnet DXVA: http://someimage.com/l5HbDAY
Blu-ray: http://someimage.com/dSzSXHf
My favorite is the HDnet DXVA. What's the source?
The blacks are less crushed and there is a little more information top & bottom.
http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison.php?id=58919
No, actually the HDnet is the worst after the Blur-ay. The contrast is off (if you see less crushed blacks than the Canal+ version you probably have a bad calibrated screen) and the more information at top and bottom is due to the 1.78:1 open matte. The correct aspect ratio is 1.85:1 but it's not a big deal. The HDnet version is also badly compressed. You can find that DXVA file on our favourite Russian tracker anyway.
dvdmike said:
Is that not just he Wowow
No, when I found this version, the uploader said in the info that he used the Canal+ version and removed the logo.
Plus, on the main titles sequence you can see that the logo was removed using another source as mask.
Here's a screenshot:
If you zoom all the way in (top right corner) you'll see what I'm talking about.

Yeah poita, the second one is the BD.
What we have is not the fully uncompressed DCP file but a ~40mbps x264 compressed file which is still impressive compared to the BD.
How does it compare to the WOWWOW version? I have the WOWOW and it's superior to the BD of course. I just want to know if it's worth the trouble getting the DCP too.

You can still DNR a 4k master
If you make a 4K transfer out of the original negative, it would be quite useless, but with Universal Studios I guess anything is possible indeed...
I love how we now have a version that actually looks faaar better than the official Blu-ray... it's kinda sad at the same time.
Plus, I've mailed Universal some months ago to ask if they were going to do a 4K remaster, they said it wasn't planned for the moment.

Could someone please tell me what newsgroup on usenet and perhaps what post to look for to find the new DCP-based version of BTTF? Thanks!
Check your PMs ;)
Well it's not exactly what you are looking for but I hope it will help you.
Ok but this looks more like the Blu-ray version to me. Check the wheels color on the Marty's skateboard at the beginning. Pink in the DCP and HDTV, yellow in the Blu-ray version.

The DCP was locked, the caps I have come from the trailer.
That trailer? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yosuvf7Unmg
I'm searching for this one in good quality, I have it on 35mm but can't scan it for the moment unfortunately...
I'm not sure if it sounds better or not but since the movie was originally mixed in stereo... I'll go for the original mix.
