Great!! Good work Dani.

To give you more of an idea of the remaster here:

We went from THIS:


to THIS:











** Please note that the remaster is from the WIDEST version available, all other sources were cropped but had somehow a bit better colors but less details, so it was a hard choice. But we think the widest non cropped aspect ratio was the way to go.

*** Another thing, our release will be 100% UNCUT. A few scenes are missing in all other prints (the love scene for example) along with brief other snippets here and there.

superb matt lovely project ..... will see subs also soon to it ;)

Looks great! you did an excellent job on the remaster judging from the screen caps. Noticed you mentioned that the final release will have Cantonese, French and Spanish AUDIO with English subtitles, aren't you adding the English dub?

I'm not sure about a commentary as I don't think I'd be too good at that but I am currently working on a mini bio/documentary video of Kim Tai-Jung as a tribute that I had planned on uploading to Youtube, but maybe it would make a nice bonus feature for the DVD?

You can use a program like Goldwave to change an audio track from NTSC to PAL, so that it's 25 FPS. I've used it on several such projects, makes the syncing process much smoother.

It still has to be adjusted to fit the new print, but it cuts down on the number of adjustments that need to be made. If you were syncing NTSC audio to PAL (or vice versa), you'd be constantly making cuts or adjustments to the audio file. However, if it is properly converted to the correct FPS, then you may only need to make changes every 5 or 10 minutes, once you get your sync right at the very start. I was introduced to this software and guided in its usage by Thuglife aka Akuma. This is what he himself uses to create his custom dub projects, and anyone who has seen his work will know he is the master of this type of dubbing project. I agree, it can be very boring and difficult work. I remember when I was adding the mandarin camcorder audio track to the 35mm print of From The Highway, it was a total nightmare. At times the audio was in front of the video, at other times it was well behind it. There was no consistancy to it at all and it needed to be adjusted about every 6 - 7 seconds.

I've only ever used subtitle workshop for timing. I hear that there are some more updated programs available, but once you get used to working with one in particular, it's difficult to switch. The only thing I dislike with SW is that the timing of the AVI file is not exactly 1:1 with the finished DVD. For instance, you time a brief sentence like "Hello" and it looks fine when played back in SW. However, when you finally author your DVD and play it back, you may find that the "Hello" flashes past much too fast in real time than it did when using SW. So you have to compensate by making sure you time shorter sentences for a few hundredths of a second more. One thing I hate when watching a subbed film is subtitles that flash by too quickly to read them.

Yes, it's probably the worse thing to do when making a project. I did B&J and Black Dragon River so far and it was really not fun. I just hope that Kaleyboy's technique is going to bring me joy in doing this because so far I really hate it. lol

which program do you use for timing subs Kaleyboy?

Yes, as a rule of thumb I have no line, no matter how short, timed for less than 1 1/2 - 2 seconds. Anything less and it will just flash and disappear. Another good tip is to double up lines to have them onscreen for longer. For instance, say you have two medium long lines, like:

"Have you seen Mr Luo today?"

Followed by:

"He was to meet me here."

Instead of running them seperately, for a short time each, say 2 seconds for each line, double them both up like this:

"Have you seen Mr Luo today?

 He was to meet me here."

That way you're able to have both lines on for a combined time of over four seconds.

God, i wasnt here for ages... where in the blue hell i can get this dvd? is it already out to buy? :D

Greetings to my good friend MG Lerox =)

it's slated for release in our next batch for release this month. we push back titles from time to time when new materials are uncovered for bonuses

the disc looked like his best work from the clips. did fu subs stop? or did they just go underground? roogie mentioned private sales before

wow thats quite the write up maybe one day people will feel like that about us. i'm pretty sure people will be excited about the things we have coming down the pipe in the future. i remember on one of my trips to montreal how HAZ and i were talking and he was telling me how pissed off roogie was about the lack of sales. i told him to tell him that the french language would put fans off and its their best bet to offer the original language and dubs where possible. if they had kicked off their venture with from the hiway in my humble opinion(only my opinion) things would have turned out much different as far as sales go. we have taken a much different route to establishing our selves. we want to earn peoples trust we value that more than $ we have stressed quality over quantity, taking fans wishes into consideration and have avoided rushing titles out and instead we try to complete them with our best combined efforts. i don't think they should have stopped as they brought something unique to the scene as in their focus on subtitles. after working on subtitles myself i can honestly say that is is not easy at all! but i think since they had such great chemistry together they will return again one day. and why not? the more fu the better for fans. also in my humble opinion (just my opinion) i think all of these fan release groups should try to combine their efforts for the benefit of all fans because the days of making loads of cash of boots are done! imagine if you will (excuse my dreamer mentality) you took houndslows remastering and source prints, fusubs sub expertise, toby's vast library of original language prints, FLK's dvd authoring, akumas and spannicks dubbing, jamals customer service and combined the effort with help from fans and collectors around the world(i forgot stiller he can pay for the prints for us :D ). the whole fandom would be without want, self sufficient and in my opinion without the effort to capitalize on the rarity of films would bring everyone together and eliminate the infighting that plagues the scene now. we have tried numerous times to reach out to other groups with mixed results sometime they embrace us sometimes we get slapped in the face but that does not discourage us, it has strengthened our reserve. we hold no grudge all things change so in the future there may be a great coming together of fans and collectors for every fan's good. so we must continue and stay active and wait for that great day. untill then we will do our best on each and every title we do. the purpose this site is to set up a system that allows fans to come together and with a bit of effort do for ourselves what companies are refusing to do. companies refuse to do it and sit on prints because they do not see a profit in it. we do it because we love the films and simply because no one else cares about these films and we just want them out there. we want to give a platform for like minded people to come together and combine an effort for something greater than selfish motives and cash grabs. $ seems to be the barrier between fans and stopping us all from enjoying the wealth of action cinema
