For years, I've been hoping to get my all-time favorite film, "Joe Versus the Volcano" on Blu-ray. 10 years into the format, however, that doesn't seem very likely to happen. With that in mind, and inspired by the many fantastic projects both here and at OriginalTrilogy, I thought I might try and create my own.
Some years ago, I obtained a 720p copy of the film from an HD broadcast. Hoping to pair this with a lossless (original stereo) soundtrack, I ripped my laserdisc, and then set about trying to sync that with the HD video. Lacking knowledge, experience, and time, however, I eventually gave up. I was also dissatisfied with having only highly-compressed 720p video. Never one to throw anything out, the project has been on my harddrive ever since, calling to me every now and then to give it another shot. Furthermore, after years of searching, last week I discovered a relatively good quality 1080p rip of the film!
That being said, at this moment, my plan is to construct a Blu-ray of "Joe Versus The Volcano", with the original lossless stereo track (as well as the DVD's DD 5.1 track), and an assortment of special features. Once completed, I'd like to share it with the Spleen community, and anyone else who's interested.
As a rank amateur, I would GREATLY appreciate any help that could be provided with the syncing process! If someone experienced would be willing to take over, I'd be thrilled to pieces, but I'd be glad for any help at all. I'm also hoping to obtain the original 1990-era WB logos (opening and closing) for the film. Does anyone here have access to these, or know of an existing Blu-ray source?
Thanks, and best wishes!
