Spaced Ranger and All, please excuse me if what I'm relying is not cool, however if a preservation project was done, would the pink would be retained or removed? I ask because the 'pink' is in the Kubrick-approved LD, which I think some people regard as the 'right'/'correct'.

Spaced Ranger, your latest screenshot for the ARs is awesome, thank you. Also thank you for the links and I'm already familiar with both of them, they should be required reading for this forum. ;-)

Hi TripleHBK and others,

Does jsonthegreat still show up here?

From what I understand, both perspectives (Left and Right) are available on both the DVD and BR. I still don't understand why each perspective was taken from a different source (with a different resolution). Can someone shed light upon this?

Instead of 11GB, if possible, I'd rather have a 1080p 3-to-6GB MPEG-4 AVC in a MP4/MKV container. This is just a rant (please let me know if it belongs somewhere else)

...

The reason for the 2 separate sources (one DVD & One Blu Ray) is that one eye is from the dvd (I can't remember which, but let's call it the left) and one from the Blu Ray (Let's call it the Right).

...

The file is 11GB in size. ... Ideally, someone would be interested in taking this and turning it into a full release with menu and extra's and possibly the 2D version all on a BD-50, but for now that's wishful thinking.

The information in the replies are great to know. However, it seems most consumers and the powers that be don't seem to care for open-matte.

It's a shame many films are matted before distribution rather than use the technology & options built into players/displays to (soft-)matte (real-time). It's true in some cases PQ would suffer, however in many cases I don't think PQ would suffer too much.

Any one have a list of open-matte films? I think I read here somewhere that many 1.85:1 films were open-matte.

I like open-matte a lot, especially when the film took fullscreen into consideration during filming/post. I think 'Truman Show' is an example. However, many DVDs that were presented with open-matte on DVD are presented as widescreen on later releases. 'Truman Show' also another example of this.

BTW, I prefer '28 Days Later' fullscreen (open-matte) DVD because it was filmed on DVCAM. Note, there is one quick transition scene that looks off in '28 Days Later' fullscreen (open-matte) DVD.

I didn't know you were the authority on acronyms, nor did I know there was an authority-at-all on acronyms.

I will say there is truth to having acronyms be understood, however we're commenting on BD vs BR on originaltrillogy.com. With the context provided, if you didn't understand I meant Blu-Ray with BR, then you're not as intelligent as I thought.

You can reply to this post, however I will refrain because this has now gone off-topic.

Go have a nice day.

Hi, did you make this yourself?

Why Blu-Ray and DVD for each eye? Are you joking? Did you downscale the Blu-Ray resolution or upscale the DVD resolution Would this even work with 3D(/SBS)?

TripleHBK said:

I have a very nice quality SBS Version of Friday the 13th part 3. It utilizes the Blu Ray for One Eye and the DVD for the other.

For those who haven't purchased previous releases, the Compendium may be great, however, for others (myself included), the Compendium may seem like a double-dip. Also, there is the VAM controversy mentioned here.

A question - what is not on the Compendium ?

Hi, what else am I missing that's really good and/or a must-have?

In case anyone in NA is interested, I purchased the 3D Target-version of ST: ID and as previously mentioned it includes the iTunes HD version (coupon may now be expired, dunno) with IMAX ratio and enhanced commentary and 2 additional featurettes.

Thank you and Cheers!

Will I get banned for this? Is this trolling?

I wasn't being mean towards you nor did I have issue with you. I also didn't mean to get on your bad side, however I don't think the fault lies with me and you just seem hostile. So I joined 3 days ago, what is that supposed to imply/mean?

So quick-to-judge and quick-to-dismiss. What a world we live in.

Thank you and DVD-BOY, BR just sounds completely stupid! but I am sure he will continue saying BR LMAO because of his "issue".

Thanks again for the facts and links, I am now done with this dude especially since he just joined 3 days ago.

Hi, I read this thread and this other thread and the new 4K BRs were released since. However, 'The Stairway' Deleted Scene, Libray Ghost Split-Screen, Ballroom Split Screen, and Ruth Oliver's Library Ghost Scream Test were not included. Anyone have these in at least LD-resolution? Thank you and Cheers!
