Author Topic: BLUES BROTHERS DCP David Stone Film Handler Posts: 75 From: Hornsby, Sydney, Australia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 05-16-2012 07:31 PM                     Hi Everyone, Has anyone screened the Blue Bros DCP and is it the original 1980's version or is it the extended DVD versions with scenes such as the gas station explosion included. We screen it in June but no info from the distributor downunder, Cheers, DAvid  |  IP: Logged Jock Blakley Expert Film Handler Posts: 218 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Oct 2011 posted 05-16-2012 08:48 PM                     It's been a while since I ran it but I have a vague memory it is the original cut - or at least it's the same as the prints. I can tell you definitively that it's in stereo (ie 2-track) and 16:9 though. Thanks, Universal.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 06-11-2013 12:31 PM                 It has been 390 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Victor Liorentas Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: london ontario canada Registered: May 2009 posted 06-11-2013 12:31 PM                     What was the quality of the DCP transfer besides only being in stereo?  |  IP: Logged Jock Blakley Expert Film Handler Posts: 218 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Oct 2011 posted 06-11-2013 07:58 PM                     Pretty average. It was 16:9 so obviously from the same master as the Blu-Ray. Nothing overly hideous, but it could have been a lot better. We had problems with very very rubbery sound sync, but I seem to recall hearing that Universal were either going to or had recalled it and fixed the problem. Maybe. We got so fed up with all of it we went back to using the print.  |  IP: Logged Victor Liorentas Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: london ontario canada Registered: May 2009 posted 06-21-2013 11:51 PM                     I just got the 2 channel DCP which sounds harsh and has less punch than my 16mm print in mono! The spec sheet that came with it says 5.1 but my Doremi tells me 2 channel.  |  IP: Logged Jock Blakley Expert Film Handler Posts: 218 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Oct 2011 posted 06-22-2013 06:55 AM                     Yep, it's not nice. We ended up finding a print in four-track mag and ran it last night - now that's what the DCP should sound like.  |  IP: Logged Edoardo Ercoli Film Handler Posts: 16 From: Teramo / Italy Registered: Jan 2010 posted 06-22-2013 08:09 AM                     I have screened it time ago, about one year, I clearly remember the audio was remixed 5.1 PCM, and the picture was stunning , same transfer as Blu-ray of course, but more vibrant color as you would expect from a DCP. I'm in Italy and I ran the DCP coming from Hollywod Classics trough Nexo Digital italian distributor, anyhow I'm sure the master comes from USA and it's the same Worldwide. Hope this helps.  |  IP: Logged Victor Liorentas Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: london ontario canada Registered: May 2009 posted 06-22-2013 11:12 AM                     I will complain about them sending me this ...I would have been better off using the bluray or my 16mm print!  |  IP: Logged Edoardo Ercoli Film Handler Posts: 16 From: Teramo / Italy Registered: Jan 2010 posted 06-22-2013 11:20 AM                     About audio yes, but DCP image quality and color depth is far superior. Anyhow HWC should have a 5.1 mix DCP: http://hollywoodclassics.com/ edit: digging in email junk I found the CPL I received the KDM for, it was the italian dubbed one, but in the same package there was the English track too: BLUES-BROTHERS_FTR-1-1980_F_IT-IT_51_2K_NEXO_20120531_DXL You can cleary see it's 5.1 in italian language (and 99% also the original Eng version)  |  IP: Logged Jock Blakley Expert Film Handler Posts: 218 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Oct 2011 posted 06-22-2013 06:29 PM                     Even though it might have said it was 5.1, the DCP we presented very definitely only had sound coming through the left and right channels. I didn't particularly think the colour was very good either.  |  IP: Logged
