US OOP Twilight Time Blu-ray

Sources: caps-a-holic (opens in a new tab)

Video Notes:

US OOP Twilight Time Blu-ray > UK Paramount Blu-ray or US Inspired Blu-ray

The UK Blu-ray not only have some DNR applied, it's also squeezed and cropped: see comparison

The color contrast from Twilight Time is however possibly suffering the Quicktime Gamma Bug, but that's an easier issue to fix than DNR or cropped images.

Video Notes:

4K restoration from Original Camera Negative

Best Audio:

Warner Bros NTSC DVD

Audio Notes:

The old DVD's track has significantly better detail compared to BD, especially on the score. The BD has some extra detail on dialogue, but also exhibits strange artifacting (e.g. sample 3, 0:20) which suggests possible AI "enhancement" or some other form of aggressive filtering. In contrast, DVD appears to be completely unfiltered and sounds good throughout. Samples

As the BD is significantly rolled off, a lot of the detail (real or fabricated) is buried in the mix and not audible during normal playback.

Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray with audio issues

Best Audio:

MGM Letterbox LaserDisc, 2004 DVD mono, or Shout! Factory Blu-ray mono

Additional Info:

Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray introduces pitch issues on the mono mix. LaserDisc mono is from worn element but sounds mostly natural with possibly some attempts at noise reduction. MGM 2004 DVD mono transfer is higher quality without the wear but may have some processing applied. Shout! Factory Blu-ray is the same MGM mono now in lossless but seems to be EQ'd a bit differently. LaserDisc, DVD or Blu-ray is a toss up but those are your three options. The Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray is useless due to the pitch issues. The remixes are very poor.
