- I thought he was talking about the DVD... did you see a film version? - Victor Khomenko 11:30:08 05/31/06 (6)
  Did they restore both, or just the DVD?
  - Victor, they don't "restore the DVD". - clarkjohnsen 11:48:52 05/31/06 (5)
    They restore the film, then copies of that film are struck and sent to theatres in Boston, New York and L.A. -- maybe Chicago too -- and to the telecine outfit that cramps them onto a DVD.

      I recall watching their restoration story, and of course that was years ago, but I thought restoration was done in digital domain...
      Not arguing, just trying to get to the bottom of it.
      - Done in the digital domain or not, it ends up on celluloid for projection. Also... - clarkjohnsen 07:54:33 06/01/06 (2)

        ...many if not most of the original frames on the negative are just fine and demand little additional work. The bear is when only a positive (print) is available; usually it's somewhat worn.

        Restoring in the digital domain is what I was referring to as DVD restoration - Victor Khomenko 11:40:01 06/01/06 (1)

        What they do then with the now digital master is secondary question.
        
        Major misunderstanding on your part there, buster. nt - clarkjohnsen 12:04:47 06/01/06 (0)

      From a wwrite up on The Criterion Collection:
      Restorations
      Criterion usually selects foreign films, established classics, and obscure critically admired movies over mainstream Hollywood fare, though it has released the occasional mainstream blockbuster, such as Armageddon and The Rock. Criterion is noted for spending a great deal of effort and money tracing the best source materials for classic films, and engaging in thorough restorations�a practice that has influenced other companies.
