I recently got the chance to acquire a non telecine 35mm film copy of Knight Rider 2000! I have access to very high end professional hardware & software to update the footage into 16:9 Blu Ray HD format. Here are some comparisons screen captures: Original 1991 NBC on air quality (video telecine) Original 35mm film HD transfer and color adjustment (Notice the film grain) Film grain removed and cleaned Details in film density brought out of the blacks Final 16:9 aspect ratio conversion for HD TVs and final color correction Final density correction I'll post a video later today to compare the original vs my new blu ray version. Original Blu Ray Original Blu Ray Original Blu Ray Original 4:3 format telecine Blu Ray 16:9 format Original 4:3 format telecine Blu Ray 16:9 format Original 4:3 format telecine Blu Ray 16:9 format. Very cool project, as usual Taoworm! As a film guy tho - I gotta ask what you're doing with the aspect ratio? Since it was shot for TV they shot for 4:3 format, and you're adjusting the 35mm print to be in a 16:9 format by distorting the frame - all the circles (tires, kitt's 'eye') are now ovals for instance.

Why not leave it at 4:3? I'd argue to not over process it, keep it as true to the source as possible. See how TNT in Europe is airing Knight Rider in HD - they're adding bars on the side, but at least the image is much higher res ( = better detail ).

You bring up great points about the aspect ratio. I thought the same thing before I started work on updating this film, but when you watch the footage in 16:9 your brain considers everything to be normal. It really doesn't stretch the image to a odd degree perceptively.

A fanedit of Knight Rider 2000, this edit includes a few music cues from the original series, a pre-credits scene. A recent spate of killings involving handguns brings Michael Knight back to fight for justice. See full summary ». Knight Rider 2000 (TV Movie 1991).

I watched over 30 minutes of footage today with some other folks who couldn't even tell that it was originally shot in 4:3 format. The black bars are more annoying than anything else to me, that's why I made it widescreen. (lol) (Also most everyone has a widescreen TV now a days, so it just didn't make sense to keep it 4:3 format if my goal was to bring the footage into the 21st century and future proof the film.

It's the DS9 episode 'Trials And Tribble-ations'. I cleaned up the footage, color and density of the telecine video.

The first part of the video is the original clip. The later half is my version in 16:9 aspect ratio. When you see it in widescreen nothing looks off that your brain can tell. (At least to me) which is why I went ahead and did the same for KR2000. My DS9 example can be found here: When CBS up-converted the DS9 episode for HD for TOS 2nd season Blu ray it was ass.

The fans thought it looked like worse than the DS9 DVD telecine version. So I took the telecine version and sought to do a better job up-converting the DS9 telecine than CBS digital. Thus the clip above. I am making two versions. A 4:3 HD blu ray version and a 16:9 remastered blu ray version. The Remastered version has the film grain cleaned and sound and music completely redone from scratch in stereo. Some of the effects will be redone like the windshield HUD not being black when it went to the camera angle of Susan in the passenger side seat in the police van chase.

Knight Rider 2000 Remastered 1080p (New sound effects haven't been included yet.) The original DVD footage was magenta as hell with muted colors. (Like someone put sunglasses over the camera lens.) Which means the film stock quality was poorly chosen originally. (Bad director of photography.) The remastered clip is so full of info after lossless AVI conversion the 1 minute 4 second clip was 9.5 GIGS! It was then flawlessly compressed to H.264.mp4 format at 12000mbs for youtube upload. Foreign subtitles has been placed on all footage on youtube to avoid copyright takedowns.
