I noticed only four of the movies have subtitles. Is that intentional?

We previously used GASMASK’s 4K release. We’re now using FLUX for the most part. The grain retention in particular is way better, as well as slightly less crushed blacks. I’m pretty sure they’re both pinched from Disney+.

I just found the FLUX one on Usenet

“we’re gotten our hands on quite a better 4K source”

Curious, what is that source?

It’s “Roller”, not “Rollar”

Thanks, idk why i keep making that mistake

The thread title still says “Rollar” FWIW.

Criterion just announced a 4K digital restoration of the international version of the film to be released in November 25th:

Only 1.85:1 aspect ratio though. 😦

@ccfilms

Beat you to it.

Apparently the UHD still has the censored audio with the Bagavad Gita chant removed. Shame, as the release claims to have the “original theatrical 5.1 surround soundtrack remastered from the 35mm magnetic track”. Oh well.

Source?

The film Caddyshack is a masterpiece in comedy! Truly lives up to its reputation and is a must see!

Agreed and Rodney Dangerfield steals the show!

There’s a 1080 upscale of the 480 telecine scan on Archive.org. I’m working on grading it and replacing any missing frames.

Could not find it

You should try out Google.
Google: american graffiti archive
‘American Graffiti (35mm TC Upscaled)’ is the one you want

Actually, rather than wait, maybe you guys can help me find moments where the film gets blocky too. I highly recommend you compare the 1080p and 4K versions together so you can see the difference in change of bitrate, hence the blockiness. It’s also easier for me to start working once I arrive back home on Tuesday.

From what I read the 4K is a “completely botched encoding” and the 1080p is way better. Knowing that I don’t know why you would want to use the 4K at all.

Though 4K was known to be a double of 1080p, so hopefully anyone might barely tell the difference.

With AVC 4K should be four times the bitrate of 1080p.

It would be nice if this thread got back on topic again.

The 1080p 35mm scan has a AVC bitrate of 25mbps FWIW.

I saw Superman and I thought it was a good movie. What kept it from being great was the pacing and a pretty overstuffed plot with too much characters.

Bring on the Fanedits!

It worked for me 😃.

Not sure what I’m looking at in the shots though. Are those the final product?

I tried in Chrome and Firefox with no luck. What’s the deal?

Hey, just finished this. I will be putting this out for everyone to grab Nov-Dec. Here are some pics.

I believe VEAI is Topaz

Yep, ‘Topaz Video Enhance AI’.

I take it you haven’t discovered Usenet? I just downloaded “Toy.Story.1995.720p.HDTV.x264-CtrlHD” from Usenet a few minutes ago.

Go to nzbking. Search:Toy.Story.1995.720p.HDTV.x264-CtrlHD. Sort order: Size.

I’d like to contribute. I love Jurassic Park and this looks amazing.

Doctor M said:

Was just thinking about this for the first time in a while. Is this still available anywhere and does anyone care?

That’s quite the necrobump but it is your thread… Now about your questions. I have no idea if it’s still available but I’m guessing more people would care if there was an HD version.

Thank you SonnyGFunk and You-Too. A nice looking release.

I was wowed by the colours on these renders, particularly ROTJ which looks incredible. I have no doubt that if Team Blu had released ESB and Jedi back in the day they would have received universal acclaim.

Are you talking about 97 or Theatrical?

Can anyone point me in a direction of a Jurassic Park 3D or 35mm version?

I can’t wait to check this out!
