    Some info on Disney's 2010 Miyazaki re-releases

    I thought the only reason it had been redone in the first place was because they didn't have an isolated track to use as a source in the new English mix. Did they find a source for it since then?

    GOLDFINGER : will 'missing frames' issue be fixed for blu-ray?!

    No, there are missing frames, as demonstrated by others already, using clips from older releases.

    Jack Benny CBS episodes

    Note that in the link, it says It then lists the full lists of holdings, which is over SIXTY shows. 25 is simply the number that this person wanted to focus on. There might be multiple sources of kinescopes, bu it's more likely that these are original elements and thus of better quality than...

    Thanks, Andy. Sounds like a stellar job!

    Star Trek films on Blu-Ray... what we know so far

    I think it was season 2 when they switched to HD aquisition. But yeah. :)

    WHV Announce: Fawlty Towers and Black Adder Remastered

    I read once in a print interview with Cleese that he supervised a slight trimming down of the episodes in order to improve the comedy timing, and these new versions are what we've seen since. If that is true, I would assume they used the original broadcast masters as the source and the revisions...

    Original Opening Logo WB / United Artist etc.

    That reminds me...for some reason I used to enjoy seeing the "when in Hollywood visit Universal Studios" card at the end of Universal films, blatant advertising though it may be (and a pretty crappy painting to boot). I recall rarely seeing it included in VHS releases...has it ever made it to...

    Star Trek films on Blu-Ray... what we know so far

    I think it was in Cinefex that I read that for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the "REPUBLIC OF HATAY" subtitle for a matte shot was burned right into the original element used to shoot the painting, in order to save a generation. I wouldn't be surprised if they did the same thing for the...

    'TV versions' on Blu-ray

    The additional Blazing Saddles scenes (there are several) are available as extras on the BD. Not re-incorporated into the film.

    2009 PINOCCHIO Release - What's Missing

    Seems likely. Those dialogue asides were not part of the album version of the song I grew up listening to on LP. The team likely found a source of the song that they thought sounded better, without realizing things had been added when it was mixed into the film.

    WHV Announcement: Tom and Jerry: The Chuck Jones Collection

    Studios always seem to forget they ever released laserdiscs.

    Star Trek TOS on Blu-ray

    What's cool with Ron is cool with me, but there really should be only one place for discussion of a particular subject. Right now we have two threads about the same thing in different sections, and apparently both of them "belong" where they are. Can't we pick one? (In the meantime, by all...

    Star Trek TOS on Blu-ray

    Well, no, as this section is entitled "SD DVD - TV Shows and TV Movies" and a Blu-ray is in no way shape or form a SD DVD. "HD software" is hardly generic--it's very specific, and the only section here where Blu-ray discussion belongs.

    Any word on The Abyss?

    I suppose, but the one that first appeared on the SE laserdisc was excellent.

    Star Trek TOS Season 1 coming to BD in May-what we know so far

    If the original broadcast versions are not included in HD I'll be giving this a pass.

    Star Trek films on Blu-Ray... what we know so far

    No, he doesn't. Dalek, of COURSE the footage is on film. But the alternate versions of the films were EDITED on video, and only exist in NTSC (the most recent version of VI being a possible exception). Putting the alternate cuts on Blu-ray would mean re-editing them from scratch in HD (or...

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: Friday the 13th (Uncut): Deluxe Edition

    Interesting (and baffling) what two seconds here and there can do to a rating. In the Kevin Bacon and throat slash examples, the edits removed gushing of blood. Okay. But the axe in the head? An extra second and a half of her sinking to the floor? What did that edit accomplish? As Brian said...

    if Looney Tunes' "Golden Collection" is over, what's up next?

    As loath I am to double-dipping, if the next approach is to go with Blu-ray, then it would be a shame not to have HD versions of the previous cartoons released. I suppose if they simply released BD versions of the previous sets (without mixing previously released cartoons in with fresh ones)...

    GOLDFINGER : will 'missing frames' issue be fixed for blu-ray?!

    Yes, the problem mentioned was well covered in the relevant SD thread(s): the issue is not jump cuts, but print damage. It's from a wide shot of Odd Job's car pulling off the highway onto a dirt road. Older home video releases showed obvious damage during this shot, but by the time it got to DVD...

    Star Trek films on Blu-Ray... what we know so far

    True enough...then we get another example of Kirk's "assholeness", as he dumps his sending-condolences duties onto the poor transporter tech over at Starfleet, makes him do the actual research on how to find Sonak's family, and further insults him by telling which embassy to contact, as if the...

    Mr. Bean - The Ultimate Collection (12/16)

    Not "edited down" in the sense that there were completely finished, longer versions of the shows that had to be shortened. Rather, the extra USA footage is from the "cutting room floor", in that it was rejected during the original creation and never part of the show to begin with.
