Please see the original post for the first batch of upgrades. This time around, the majority of these were much harder to sync as RiffTrax does some really weird things with framerates. Below are some screenshots for a relative quality comparison between the originals and new encodes:
Screenshots
Notice there are 3 screenshot comparisons. The first, Day of the Animals, doesn't highlight the detail increase as much but the colors are much less muted and also the RiffTrax release squishes the entire movie horizontally.
I'm still looking for the below BD Discs or Remuxes, if anyone can source these I'd be very grateful and promise a brand-new transfer for them:
A final request, if anyone could provide links to any of Tom Servo's missing asks, I'm also missing these: [HighTV], [HDmed], [HDhigh], [MPEG-2]
*Edit* Day of the Animals is a little off, I've updated the link or if you downloaded already you can delay the audio by 100ms, apologies.
Ghost Rider (2007) 720p iTunes-Remux [3.71 GB] (RiffTrax Presents)
Not a VOD and not all of the Presents are great but I actually really like this riff. The old copy is an SD encode. I sourced and created a new sync myself. The video is remuxed from iTunes so it's larger than usual but I didn't want to encode and degrade it further (only the Extended Edition exists on Blu-Ray and even if synced - which I've considered - it would leave 15 minutes of un-riffed content).
