there is a featurette on s.e.ld box / s.e. dvd / skynet bd regarding the color changes.it shows how it looked and what it was turned into.

this might have been answered already and i simply overlooked it, but here is my question...

will t2 feature a re-creation of the original theatrical colors?

there was some talk about, that the original live home dvd  featured the theatrical colors. after finally getting the dvd (special thanks to jonno), i can confirm it doesn't have the original colors. the dvd already features the more blueish colors, introduced with the special edition laserdisc.

on the plus side, said dvd features the original theatrical cds 5.1 mix, which was confirmed by dvdmike.

i case i can verify it earlier, i'll let you guys know :)

last time i've talked about bit-perfect was direct capture with my mac.

but for the "are you sure" part regarding the m-audio fw 410: that's why i asked how to capture dts from a ld/cd. if that works, then it's bit-perfect. but there was no final answer to that question.

We need the Criterion LD, if we can get that I will do the rip myself then, hell I just finished a bit accurate rip of the Halloween Criterion just today.

i have the cav ld. so that is covered :)

i now have a m-audio firewire 410 for audio capture.

if i remember correctly bendermac wanted to do a hd trailer re-edit a long time ago. he dropped it because of the gas station blowing up scene was longer in the trailer and had the movie title & credits overlay. you might wanna check the trailer again. just in case i mixed up something ;)

i can provide the cc-ld audio.

i had a similar project in mind. but i wanted to drop the bd audio in favor for the cc-ld audio.  for main part of "restoring" the movie i wanted to use the sony bd and just use the mgm dc bd for the extra footage. maybe andrea can also jump in to re-create the look of the criterion edition.

getting the pcm for theatrical cut would be sweet as well, so it can be used for the sony bd.

as for hd trailers, good luck. there is only the one trailer available in hd. i don't know which one it was, but i know for sure it was only one hd trailer available. i have it somewhere. if not, you may want to ask bendermac. he certainly has it.

better then nothing :)

most macs have an optical audio in. it's in the line in connection. you just need an adapter. just get this adapter if you already have an optical cable or a similar cable like this one.

in terms of software you can use audacity, garageband or quicktime player.

borisanddoris do you mind capturing the criterion mono mix and share the untouched file (pcm @ 16bit, 44.1khz) with us?

thanks :)

hauppauge hd-pvr cannot record in 1080p. 1080i60 is the best it can do. so the final capture would 1080 @ 29.97fps.

i highly recommend only to use constant bitrate or your video will look like shit.

i wonder if i can capture through my ps3 using the intensity with component cable. does vudu need any proxies if you're not living in the u.s.?

okay, nothing that uber special. but i was looking for it for quite some time now.

what am i talking about? well, the 1990 laserdisc of the little mermaid. now i have the 1998 thx ld + limited issue dvd and 1990 ld to create the best remux for this beloved movie. well, i still have to wait for the replacement blu-ray from disney, that fixes the stupid changes.

bd remux would include

1. original 1989 theatrical surround mix in pcm
2. original 1998 re-release surround mix in pcm
3. original 1998 re-release surround mix in dolby digital 5.1
4. 2013 7.1 remix in dts-hd master audio

5. 2006 home theater enhanced remix in dolby digital 5.1 - are you kidding me? get the f*** out of here!

sounds good?

Man...this and RoTLD 3 are at the top of my list for most wanted horror BDs right now.  <snip>

I would love to see Team Blu tackle this one and Part 3 when their tight project list opens up a bit.  Here's hoping.... 

 

part 3 in hd is only available in the r-rated cut. the uncut version is only available on dvd & laserdisc. please, don't mention the horrendous german bd. yes, it's uncut, but the quality is below everything. it looks a 480x360 lowbitrate xvid upconversion to 1080p *yikes*

i searched on google, but i haven't found anything good on how to do it. since here are a few people who know how to do it, please share your wisdom :)

thanks.

afaik only the itunes version is available, to which i've synced the audio commentary from the dvd. a hdx version is available for rent on vudu.com

;)

today i rented these 3 movies from a friend and i wondered if there is any interest in capturing the audio.

the laserdisc contain the following mono audio tracks

bullet in the head

german and cantonese audio

the killer

german and english audio

hard boiled

german audio

they are possibly the only chance to get the original german mono mixes, as everything else seam to be in 5.1 or 7.1 upmixes.

we need access to the criterion ld for the pcm mono audio and might get an idea what the transfer looked on there... see if the old thx dvd is similar or different as well.

matt how do you know the mono mix on the new bd is a downmix of the remix?

you can simply use eac3to to encode to dolby 5.1, without demuxing.

eac3to source.m2ts destination.ac3

done

the outputted file will be a 5.1 ac3 file.

the 1992 version (whatever that means)of the the movie can be bought on ebay germany for 280 €. it’s the german version.

could be very interesting to get a scan from that, because the blu-ray is shit.

insert dongle: works perfectly here :P

laserschwert, thanks for update :)

why not include the audio in lossless format? flac is perfect for exactly that. they usually aren't any bigger then a normal dolby 2.0 track, but have the benefit of beeing uncompressed. so much work was put into getting the ld audio, but now they are only lossy :(

So where is this The Black Hole HD file? I have been wanting to do a BD of this forever! I friggin love watching this movie and have a real nice Intrada 24 track CD I just got, could make for a nice score.

I have the 1080p/24 copy that Jonno mentioned from itunes but it sounds like zeropc has a different (hopefully less compressed) copy. The itunes one is about 3.88 GB.

there are two releases...

the hd cap i have + a vudu hdx recording, which i can get if needed. i don't know which release is the better. but having all three (hulu, hd-cap, itunes) might be good.

You can really appreciate this when viewing Team Blu's bonus content that compares the 2 side by side in real time, a nice 10 minute flow showing just how bad Twilight Time's is and just how good and balanced Team Blu's is.

don't call it bad! the work done by twillight time was actually pretty good. the only thing to criticize, is the total misunderstanding on how the movie should look.  if you had not idea how the previous releases looked or didn't read any of the raffle of this transfer, you can consider this a well done bd. heck, there are even people who prefer this look over the original theatrical presentation.

that being said: kudos to team-blue for making this release. the extras are pretty neat - i like the q&a with tom savinii) and on top we can to listen to the original theatrical mix.

thanks guys :)
