I have been working on HD video comparisons of transfers from Fox to best illustrate the problem with many of their vintage film releases on Blu-ray for a disc I am compiling to send to Cineric (the company behind the film restorations of THE KING AND I and CAROUSEL in 2006 and featured in the restoration featurettes) and Martin Scorsese (his name is used on the back of the packaging for the WILD RIVER Blu-ray as being a film which he selected for restoration). I think both entities would like to see how they are being misrepresented on Blu-ray.I am fortunate to have access to some prior HD transfers of many of the affected titles to use in these comparisons. I am not using old DVD releases for these comparisons.I am not suggesting that they should've used these older transfers for Blu-ray release, as I'm sure they could be even better with the most recent technology. Still, I'm concerned that these faulty new transfers are going to be the ones on the DCPs that are sent out to revival theaters to show these films for the foreseeable future, and that would be a very sad thing.THE KING AND Ihttps://www.dropbox.com/s/xqy6g8g4zi98slk/KINGANDIcomparison.mp4RIVER OF NO RETURNhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/p9z84pegm3gv0dd/RIVEROFNORETURNcompare.mp4WILD RIVERhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/qk0krn3qx23t0e5/WILDRIVERcompare.mp4DESK SEThttps://www.dropbox.com/s/s2i7whcl2ebue48/DESKSETcompare.mp4THE INN OF THE SIXTH HAPPINESShttps://www.dropbox.com/s/so2l97kxkwpo557/INNOFSIXTHHAPPINESScompare.mp4CAROUSELhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/eqi3sxltp25eobj/CAROUSELcomparison.mp4
