Every amount is appreciated.
________________

This release is a 1080p encode of a 4K Raiders of the Lost Ark 35mm theatrical print scan. No digital cleanup has been done to either video or audio, but the color on the print is intact, as it's LPP (low fade, printed in 1982). The encode is blu-ray compliant, you can use tsMuxer to make a BD iso from this, no re-encoding should be required.

There is a mistake in the intro text, the second print we want to scan is not LPP, but as we already have a color reference it is not an issue. Many frames are missing from our print and we would like to scan the second one to fill in the gaps - but it will not be possible without donations.

The audio has noticeable damage, but it's not bad considering the print is over 30 years old. We hope to clean it up and include alternate, Laserdisc soundtracks in the eventual v2.0 release, once we manage to scan the second print.

Because of several missing sections, this file could not be synced to the Blu-ray. The same reason why only one audio track is included.

Please report any problems you may encounter with the file in comments.

FAQ

Q: Can you make an open matte release?
A: No, the Raiders print is scope, only 2.35:1 is possible.

Q: What does "LPP" mean?
A: LPP is a low fade film stock. It was introduced in 1982, and all movies produced after that year have used this type of stock. "Low fade" means "really, really low fade". The color on a properly stored LPP print will outlive all of us.

Q: Why is it so dark/shouldn't black levels be higher/is the detail lost in dark areas?
A: Dark areas on 35mm prints hold very little detail, what is present there on the negative (which most commercial blu-rays are based on) never makes it to theatrical prints due to generational loss. Increasing black levels is a matter of preference and doesn't actually reveal any detail. If you feel the movie is too dark, you can simply increase the brightness setting on your TV/video player and achieve the same effect.

Q: Do you have other Indiana Jones movies scanned?
A: No, but we have the opportunities to get both Temple and Last Crusade. We simply don't have enought money. If someone happens to have spare couple thousand dollars, that would help.

Q: When is the cleaned up v2.0 coming?
A: No ETAs, but we definitely need to scan the second print before it's even possible. Plus, cleaning up damage takes a LOT of time.

Q: When will you release a cleaned up version of X/open matte version of Y?
A: When it's done.

Q: Why can't you release more often?
A: Because we don't have as much time and money for it as we would like.
