Hello dear friends.

Do you have contacts or knowledge to be able to obtain a capture of the NHK BS8K channel in Japan?

Since 2018, this film and others have been broadcast on that channel, there are only a few days left until the new premiere, if it is not achieved by now, it could still be considered to capture it in the future, in addition, they also broadcast other content in 8K.

I attach the original post, where they mention the 2001 broadcast: A Space Odyssey.

Post in Japanese:
NHK BS8K『8K完全版 2001年宇宙の旅』が5月5日（日）放送。映画史にさん然と輝く、巨匠スタンリー・キューブリック監督の傑作SF映画。70ミリで製作された超大作のオリジナル・ネガをもとに8K化し、修復を行った8K完全版

Chat GPT Translate:
"HK BS8K will broadcast ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ in its entirety in 8K on May 5th (Sunday). This masterpiece science fiction film directed by the maestro Stanley Kubrick shines brilliantly in film history. Utilizing the original negatives of the epic produced in 70mm, it has been remastered and restored into an 8K complete version.

Wow, I’m late and I see that the author is no longer active on the forum.

▫️ NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan JAPBD 4K Hypersonic Japanese 5.1 audio will be parsed with the UKBD or JAPBD Japanese Hypersonic 5.1 audio (not the remastered version). Hydra told us that these audios are superior to what we have found.

▫️ We have found better audios from Hungarian dub, Polish voice-over, Thai dub & a new better quality audio capture from dub 4 (Netflix).

▫️ We received the Cantonese dub from Hong Kong laserdisc Laser-Video Entertainment Ltd HKLD [LVMW 0149] & the Bulgarian Island World Video BULVHS voice-over.

▫️ The Czech audio we initially got in AAC has been replaced with a new capture in PCM. We were also surprised by the existence of a Ukrainian voice-over.

▫️ We got the original audios of the Rescore: Humaniac, The Firmamente & The Disco Biscuits. We only need the Vortex score, which has already told us that it will send us a digital copy without loss of quality.

▫️ Makata will share his capture from Spanish (Mexico) dub3 (1999) (Locomotion).

▫️ Music & effects 2.0 from SPADVD and 5.1 from ITABD will be extracted, this will be a 2.0 version, with better quality.

▫️ The first dubbing (Argentine) will be captured from the VHS Plus with better conditions and tools, it will include a new restoration of our MrQesito.

▫️ We made comparisons of all the audios, to define the best, some examples: https://slow.pics/c/WkD9OWf0 | https://slow.pics/c/hrcuSwX7

▫️ Korean dubbing is lost media: https://namu.wiki/w/AKIRA

▫️ Also, we have more than 500GB of new ones that we have to download from DVDs and BDs that have been out for a few months, to use their audios and subtitles.

▫️ Oh surprise, in the release we will include the Manga in: Japanese, English, Croatian, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish & Thai. In addition to the soundtrack in its different versions and artbooks.

WHERE WE NEED INFORMATION AND/OR SUPPORT (contact me, everything counts)

▫️ 3 subtitles are hardsub in the languages: Burmese, Hindi and Spanish (Latin America) from the DVD Camelot (by Nacho). We are looking for people who can extract them to softsubs.

▫️ We hope to get Traditional Chinese subtitle from Netflix Hong Kong, only recognized by Express VPN, using Streamfab (I can’t because the account I have, was created from a phone). Also, I only have access to Prime, HBO & Disney+ to get material, if someone has access to other streaming to see what can be extracted, great.

▫️ We still can’t find out, about the two Cantonese dubbing, which was the original dubbing and which was the redoubling, we don’t know who dubbed it or when it was made: https://youtu.be/TAUJ_Yiql0Y

▫️ We are always happy to receive or learn about VHS, Laserdisc, VCD, TV catches or Streaming, in any language, that contain better audio quality than what we have or subtitles.

▫️ Audio & subtitle synchronizers.

▫️ Lastly, the Taiwan/Hong Kong bootleg blu-ray is the only one with the Mandarin dub, probably from an old capture. We have invested in obtaining VHS material especially, this time we are looking to buy this blu-ray and have a contact I have there send it to us. If you want to support us with this purchase, write me by PM.

For many years, this screenshot was never available on the internet, and today we are happy to share it with you.

In 1 video found on Youtube, a 7-minute excerpt from user Bolt could be found & in the comments, user J.S. Registro Audiovisual mentioned that he had this capture, however for a few years there was no answer if he actually had it and if he was going to share it.

We tried to contact him, until he answered us and gave us the capture he had, credits and thanks to him.

This quality is superior to the VHS collection of Gold from Argentina.

As always, our great SrQesito made a considerable improvement of the audio, in the MKV the audio of the restoration is attached (also converted to Mono, because the stereo capture is false) & the original audio of the capture. For our final version, the capture noise will be reduced by default.

Voice-over: Krasimir Nyagolov

When we were looking for the Hong Kong Laserdisc, Danail approached us, asking if we were interested in getting a voice-over for the project, it was something that took us by surprise, because in our research, we didn’t get this material anywhere, We can’t even see it on any page that details who did it, or if it really existed. This voice-over practice is quite popular in the communist bloc. Thanks and credits to Danail for this gem.

Contact us for a copy, PM or: https://linktr.ee/metahades | https://discord.gg/t5gf4R2W2U.

This capture from Laser-Video Entertainment Ltd Hong Kong Laserdisc [LVMW 0149] was presented to us by Erwin (Laserdisc 1) & Ikusa-One (Laserdisc 2), our sincere thanks to them.

According to our investigation, this is the first time this Laserdisc has been shared over the internet.

Something that we have not yet gotten information is that, we do not know if this is the original dubbing or the redoubling, since we also have the Cantonese version of ATV. However, we do not have the date of when each dubbing was released, nor which studio dubbed them.

On the other hand, we know that the Mandarin dubbing is on a pirated Blu-ray in stores in Taiwan & Hong Kong, we need a contact that we can order to buy it there and send it to us in physical or digital file.

Contact us for a copy, PM or: https://linktr.ee/metahades | https://discord.gg/t5gf4R2W2U.

We bought this capture of the VHS Transeuropa from an Argentine collector, who digitized it and sent us the file. This digitization was carried out in the most optimal conditions.

As of today, it is the version with the highest audio quality existing on the internet for the first dubbing, we attach the audio of the original rip & the audio improvement made by our great SrQesito, for the final version the noise will be reduced by default.

With what program can I take original frames? when i pull from VLC and MPC, they come out with different brightness.
