I think the people behind this are purposely dragging their feet because of the leaks but that’s lame. Imo

nah, Trist is just a very busy dude

Dude’s in college and dealing with personal stuff, I’m sure he’ll be back on the project soon. Also, considering the film reel is in Australia, who knows what’s going on down there?

He’s also got multiple projects going on if I’m not mistaken.

https://archive.org/details/blondie-behind-the-music There’s also a decent amount here.

Thanks! I really appreciate it. I’ve been looking for that episode for a while, hopefully now I’ll have some luck. 😃

Someone will eventually reply to you in the comments. I used to download everything that’s posted there because I was actively helping people find some of the lost ones. I’ve been focusing on other stuff though. A few were found with some questionable means lol.

I have some but not all of them.

Do you have the KC & The Sunshine Band episode?

https://lostmediawiki.com/Behind_The_Music_(partially_lost_VH1_documentary_series;_1997-2014) ask in the comments here. There was two working links at one point in the comments.

Thanks, but unfortunately the link for that episode only leads to a trailer for that episode that I uploaded to my YouTube channel a few years ago. 😄 Good site, though.

They don’t update the actual list very often. You have to go down to the comments. You’ll see that the full episode was posted twice in the comment section but the links are dead. That’s why I said ask in the comments for someone to reupload it 😃.

hello, are you also interested in working on other 35mm films by Stuart Gordon?

For example From Beyond 1986 ?

Are you asking if I want to do a scan together? Or if I will do more scans of his movies? I can rent a few of his movies. But I’ve got so many things listed that I want to do. From Beyond and Robot Jox would be fun to do one day though.

It was simply a curiosity.

If you also liked other films by Stuart Gordon.

Hello! I’m very interested in the open matte scans of Re-Animator and Napoleon Dynamite. I can donate for any additional progress you’re working on.

I’d love to put my eyes on this if at all possible, one of my favorites.

Workprints in general are usually pointless to upscale. It’s not really because of the source medium, they are intentionally terrible quality for various reasons. You can get a good 720p or 1080p upscale of good quality VHS transfers. But almost every workprint is below even VHS quality. There are some like the Fast and the Furious workprint that isn’t intentionally made to be terrible quality because it was created for college students to edit with and experiment with putting music to a movie. But it’s still VHS quality.

The Apocalypse Now workprint is not sourced from a VHS, it’s from a VCD. That’s why the full quality original version is split into 3 discs. But either way, there’s not enough information for Topaz to do anything. You’ll end up with 3 eyes on people and shit lol.

I want to let people know that I will be doing more scans, but I because I’ve been in the hole on the past 2 projects it will be a while till anything happens. Till then, I’ll probably work on V2.0 of Napoleon Dynamite. Maybe regrade and experiment with HDR on it.

It looks like the person who did the scanning had some trouble syncing up the bluray tracks and he’s really busy so he can’t spend anymore time working on it. I’m going to see what I can do. If I can’t figure it out I know someone who should be able to.

There can be problems with syncing because of this:

Runtime:
1h 24min(84 min) (United Kingdom)
1h 26min(86 min) (unrated)
1h 33min(93 min) (R-rated) (United States)
1h 45min(105 min) (Integral) (Germany)

What is the runtime of this 4k 35mm scan?

This is the unrated cut. The tracks from the Arrow Video bluray are all unrated. But they still seem to drift out of sync.

I really don’t understand why the unrated is 7 minutes shorter when the r-rated is supposed to be cut.

They added scenes and extended some others.

Interested in seeing the open matte for this! Where / how do you accept donations? Thanks

BoingoBanshee said:

What’s the source of the print? US, UK?

It’s a US print. So this isn’t the censored UK cut thankfully.

Thanks to everyone for helping with this! This is one of my favorite horror movies!

Does anyone know if this has been leaked yet? I’m looking for a link on RuTracker and Discord but haven’t found one yet. I’m interested in uploading this to the Archive.

Thanks

Are you joking? Go back just a couple of posts and you’ll see OP saying they DO NOT want the release being leaked.

Is it out of line to say that people who ask openly for this sort of thing should be banned from this site?

https://pastebin.com/MgZ4tyeE Here’s the mediainfo for the full quality open matte version. Figured 94 Mb/s is a good enough bitrate. VLC seems to stutter a lot so I recommend playing the full quality file with MPV. I did an initial DNxHR 444 12 bit encode of all 6 reels into a single file with Davinci Resolve. That file came out to 927GB. Then I did a x265 12 bit encode with Handbrake because I always seem to have issues with 265 encoding in Resolve. I had problems with the DTS track from the bluray so it won’t be included. Idk if it’s my bluray disc or what but every time I convert the DTS track into a wav file it gets messed up.

Handbrake is far better than Resolve when it comes to h265, especially if you set “tune” to “grain” under the Encoder Options.

Will the scan hypothetically sync up with the blu-ray audio track? Because I can try muxing them together. Shouldn’t be too difficult with MKVToolNix (and the DTS track doesn’t necessarily need to be converted to wav).
