Sometimes NTSC versions (or even Blu-ray) have a lower pitch than the correct one, can’t say why… I discovered that the Italian track for GBU (and it seems the French and German ones are affected, too), has a lower pitch that sounds very bad to me.
the blurry version has a green tint looks awful
Are you referring to a particular picture?
The color matrix of the open matte version was changed to be as much similar to the BD one, that’s the only color “fix”.
To whom it may concern: the new version is out - Alien: Covenant IMAX [Fundamental Collection] - now all the IMAX/open matte shots are perfect, no more subtitles and/or logo remains, and eventual top/bottom “slices” differences in brightness and/or color, due to the use of two sources, are completely gone.
More, it’s the usual multi language edition (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish audio and subtitles) plus the Russian tracks, and the English commentary with related foreign subs.
Now you can find it in that demonic place. Have fun!
I’m aware of many (or all?) of them, but too lazy to edit the first post! 😄
It would be great to have a small photographic database with a screenshot (or more) of any deleted shot/scene, just to have a visual guide and let the search easier.
Would someone (else than me 😉 ) accomplish this task?
I’m sure DVD-BOY was right.
Back on topic, it would be finished ASAP, because there is also another source (probably) to be used to get even higher quality.
And, as clutchins wrote, I update the progress on fanres, mainly.
It seems so… other opinions would be really appreciated!
I’m pretty sure THX DVD color grading is not the one found on theaters, but one of the various “DP approved” versions (which is the right one, frankly I can’t say…)
Now, if LD color grading is sufficiently different from other BD ones, then it could be interested to use LD as color reference.
I’ve been on MS right now, to check the invites, and I can’t access the invites page, got “access denied” error!
Can someone else check as well? Dunno if it’s a common problem, thanks!
I have few invites left, but maybe I can trust SkellingtonJack…
What do you think, KK? 😉
Finally they look like not sick! 😄
Just quote a post with image to “learn” how to insert images - that’s what I did! 😉
I personnally prefer the LD master that came out in letter box with the first DVD in which colors were even more natural I think.
May you get some screenshot comparison? I noted sometimes differences between LD and DVD color grading, but usually the DVD version was released several years after LD.
And yes, this grading is a lot better than 3D BD, which is overly teal.
kk, according to Caps-a-holic (http://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?d1=1492&d2=1502&c=114), it seems your regrade is very close to DVD; is it possible to have few screenshot comparisons using your regrade and DVD?
Just because I’m too curious… 😄
Dre, are you using WOWOW as color reference? I think so, but I would like to have a confirmation.
DVD color grading is different from both WOWOW and BD, and, IIRC, LD has another different grading, too; can’t say the latter is the closest to theatrical one (there is a proper 35mm scan, after all), but, again, IIRC there is at least one LD version taken from release print (first Italian version); sadly, it’s p&s, so I wonder if there is a widescreen version as well (from release print).
If someone has effectively cleaned some deleted scenes (in particular for EP 4,5,6), and want to share them to be included into that extra extended edition project, it would be great!

“back on topic please, move along, move along.”
Oh you’re no fun.
Sorry, didn’t want to clutter your thread, that’s it…
Thanks, happy to hear that. Most probably future HDTV broadcasting will be open matte, so the subtitles would not be there.
And yep, YAO is a great feature!
Actually, you both are PRO crazy project makers (in your own league)! 😄
Thank you for your great works, from me and every single member here (and not only here).
And you have inspired me, and many others, to jump in the project making bandwagon, so thanks again! (also, to have made me crazier than ever, by the way…)
“Time to stop to derail this thread, back on topic please, move along, move along.”
Pfew, I though I was the only crazy fan project maker! 😄
NeverarGreat, congratulation, hope to see it soon.
A direct comparison between desaturated color version and yours would really be appreciated! 😃
So I love the idea of creating a database of deleted scenes that are finally fixed and cleaned up and can be used in edits/preservation going forward, or just for viewing.
Good idea!
I will have a look what I can come up with. The DVD menu does look more balanced.
Agree. If you need actual DVD menu footage, let me know!
Dre, don’t want to say that DVD menu colors are right (are they?) or better than to other grading, but in the remote chance you would do a MENU-BOT, here you are a comparison (left GOUT, right DVD menu):
Don’t know if your software would be confused by the fact the frames have not the same aspect ratio (some are closer when cropped, though) and have different elements.
I wonder if the Italian track on Kino has wrong pitch like the one found on Mondo BD…
I usually do this:
