That said, Little Orphan Dusty was released with the fisting intact but it's still missing the golden shower. Another rip-off.  [Link] |

It doesn't surprise me that a golden shower scene is missing. Which ones still have bugs and what are they? I've been meaning to pick up Girls on Fire since the first one was hacked to pieces and the master used was a mess. I hope that one isn't one of the ones that's still buggy.  [Link] |
| sdc Member 236 Posts 4/03 | Posted - Aug 31 2008 : 8:40AM With regards to the sources of these disks, I appreciate what you say about remastering not necessarily referring to film prints but I think it's a bit disingenuous to release a 'remastered' line taken from tape sources: the results are always going to be soft and lacking in detail.

That said, since a tape can never look s good as film, VCX is banking on the term "remastered" to get people interested in picking up these new releases while not doing a full remastering job and giving people their money's worth. Here are a couple reviews of the "remastered" Cal Vista titles now being put out by VCX that give you an idea of the general quality of the releases: http://www.xcritic.com/reviews/read.php?ID=32655 http://www.xcritic.com/reviews/read.php?ID=32611 [Link] |
| fatalbert Member Diagonally parked in a parallel universe 576 Posts 5/03 | Posted - Aug 31 2008 : 12:33PM Thanks, Flash. Guess I can keep an eye out for the remastered edition by checking VCX's site now and then, huh? [Link] |
| Flash Golden Age Classic 11018 Posts 5/01 | Posted - Aug 31 2008 : 2:49PM I just don't know what has been fixed and what hasn't. I've been meaning to check with Adult DVD Empire to see if they have the remastered version in stock yet or if they still have the original edition.I agree that it's cheap that VCX is using tape to create their remastered series, especially since on their site they have the Media Blasters editions in the remastered category, which I expect will cause people to pick up these thinking they will be of the same condition. However, on the other side, I'm glad some of these are getting some of their problems fixed. Damn double edged sword. I expected the VCX CalVista releases to look similar to the NuTech Digital releases sans any extras produced by NuTech Digital. CalVista leased the masters that NuTech used to them and NuTech produced the extras. After NuTech stopped producing this series CalVista leased the masters to VCX. I expect they are the same masters. The extras wouldn't be owned by CalVista so VCX would have to buy or lease them separately from NuTech. As most VCX titles are bare bones releases it doesn't surprise me that these are as well. I'm still excited to see what they release when they get through the ones that NuTech released as supposedly they have leased the rights to more titles than what NuTech ever released from CalVista. I'm also excited to see how Johnny Wadd looks as that one supposedly is mastered off of a film print. I'm happy they found one as several years back when I talked to them about that title they didn't have any masters at all for it. [Link] |
| john lyons Senior Member Co-founder of Vinegar Syndrome 1188 Posts 1/08 | Posted - Aug 31 2008 : 3:11PM This release I am excited about. Chinn did a commentary track for it which should be great. [Link] |
| mcewan All-Star Member 1294 Posts 8/08 | Posted - Sep 10 2008 : 12:19PM I also wish VCX could get the rest of Cecil Howards films on dvd, it would be great if he could give commentary on them like he did with Neon Nights & Babylon Pink. That Johnny Wadd release sounds very interesting. [Link] |

| mcewan All-Star Member 1294 Posts 8/08 | Posted - Sep 10 2008 : 1:02PM Cecil Howard is my all time favorite director,it would be shame if all his great work didn't eventually make it to dvd.It would be great to hear the commentary on the rest of his films.I have always been fascinated with Cecil Howard and anytime you can learn anything new I'm always interested.

| mcewan All-Star Member 1294 Posts 8/08 | Posted - Sep 10 2008 : 1:53PM have Cecil Howard make the disc and then have VCX distribute it. Cecil Howard would do a far better job than VCX could ever do. [Link] |
