King of Kings by all means I have no idea how this film hadn't faded like the rest of them. I think King of Kings is the best transfer of any older movie. The color is just amazing!!

thanks, 5 to go

oh, can you tell me which ones I didn't list? There should be 8 more of them then, right?

Yea, but this thread is about how many of them are on DVD

Forgot a couple more: 10. Zulu 11. El cid

There are not many films that were shot in this process, and even less are on DVD, so please post any technirama films that were released on DVD that you can think of Here are the ones I know about: 1. The Vikings 2.King of Kings 3. Pink Panther 4. The music man 5. Leopard 6. The Long...

I've been exploring the Hammer's horror productions of 50's and 60's But I'm just wondering, what fameous american horrors were there from the same time and what were the american equivalents of Hammer? I'm interested in those films that are available on DVD thanks

Except for you, of course; right? Have I said anything that is untrue yet?

Every film transfer has to be "messed with" in order to make the colors acceptable for DVD or TV. You can't just put a negative in the telecine machine and record that to some video format. Every transfer requires a new color timing, just like when you are making prints. So every transfer...

Hi, would you care to post a few screens, a few that show the great greens that you are talking about? I'm just asking, I wouldn't blaim you if you won't, I know It's a pain in the ass to upload stuff ;)

Can anyone tell me how good is the transfer (contrast, colors)of this film? Also, does anyone have any screenshots of it to post?

Nope. If by filmed you mean shot in camera (and I can't think of any other meaning of the word "filmed"), then no. Last technicolor film was shot in 1954 and released in 1955. The later films still had "color by technicolor" in them, but that ment that technicolor developed the Eastmancolor...

I didn't say anything about original prints. I know about all the problems they were facing. I'm just saying that a digitally merged scan of 3 B/W strips is better than a telecine from an optically merged IP. Even if you do have a perfect IP to work with, a modern telecine machine like...

I know, but the accent is on "should". Bur regardles of contrast, there is always loss of sharpness in any kind of copying, perhapse not visible on DVD or even HD, but an IP never has the same resolution as the negative even if the intermediate stock is multiple times higher in resolution than...

So what about those horrors. Any technicolor horrors? Not just on DVD, but were there any 3-strip technicolor horrors ever shot?

Yea, I agree with you. Old films should be made to look as old films looked back then, and not try and make them look more modern. If some old film had pink skintones or yellow shadows or whatever, then that's the way it should be on all future transfers. Speaking of Wizard of oz. I liked...

Since technicolor movies are not so high in resolution as modern movies or large format movies of 50's and 60's, a good HD transfer in 1920x1080 would pretty much give the similar kind of resolution as original dye transfer prints had. Not that it would be good for archiving, since you have to...

Well you always have to color correct a transfer, because what you get out of a negative, specially out of 3 different negatives combined like in case of technicolor films is a long way from what a direct Eastman print or a dye transfer print would look like. That's why it is important to have...

Hi a few questions: 1. which is in your opinion the best looking transfer of a technicolor feature (real 3-strip) that is currently out on DVD? 2. How many films out there are there that are transferred from a real IB dye transfer print (regardles of the source format, eastmancolor or...

No, I ment, is the telecine trasnfer the same one or is it made from different masters?

Is it against the rules of this forum to post screencaps? If not, does anyone have their DVD's around to post a comparison of some frame between the two transfers. I nobody has both versions, one can post one, and someone else can post the other version of the same frame of course...

I'm watching in ont he computer by the way... So in what way is the transfer better? (better colors, smoother contrast?)

It says "widescreen" on the cover, so what do you mean? you mean it's letterboxed? So i get just 300 pixels high images?

In that case, I'm glad that I ordered the old version.. and what about the picture? Is it the same transfer or a new one?

How come? Shouldn't it be reverse? So then I made the right choice?

I just ordered this title, but a day after the shipment I just realized that there is allso a SE version (and its only a dollar more expensive), so does anyone know what is the difference between the original DVD edition and the SE (besides the commentary)? thank you
