Alchemy Live - 20th Anniversary Edition

[Dutchessy]

Any idea if the original 'Saturday Night At The Movies' clip from the start of the VHS version will be included on the Dvd/Blu Ray?
The bit where they are all playing pool.

Cheers  BBB

Yes, I read somewhere that 'saturday night at the movies' will be the intro... But not sure if it's true...
If your Laptop has a HDMI socket, and your tv has one too... Than you need a HDMI cable Than you can connect your
laptop to the tv (in great quality!)

Oh Boy, its been a while since i checked in on this thread!! May 3rd!!!!!!!!!!


BluRay can be jaw droppingly spectacular on a full HD TV - i agree about Casino Royale, its a spectacular sight (& not just Craig ). If they`ve transfered the picture as best they can, then BR will show it. There`s a website where BR discs are reviewed, with particular attention to how well old films turn out. A lot of surprising results. See http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Wizard-of-Oz-Blu-ray/7703/

Finger crossed for Alchemy!

Ian, fancy a BR premiere at my place?

No portobello belle? Okay, I'll wait one year and grab the dvd in the "5 euro box" at a record store. Alchemy dvd is nice to have, but if there isn't any special to see, why buy it?

So maybe there is some hope to get a really nice restored picture?

Thanks for this. Very interesting that it says that it has been upgraded fronm the original film. If it was indeed shot on film then the blu-ray could look amazing.

Yup, video tape.

[Rollergirl]

I thought it was the same thing you see, just that in the case of the tape, they put the film in a little box instead of the reel.

but what do I know, I didn't even know about that guitar on back to the future

Video tape is a magnetic tape like the audio cassette tape or the tape on a credit card. Film tape consists of real pictures like when you take a photograph with a camera using the old film rolls (negative for paper copies or positive for slides). Film has much better quality than video and often a wider formate.
