Currently, I'm trying my hand at reconstructing 5.1 surround audio from stuff only available in 2-channel stereo.

An interesting article about The Godfather saga restoration: http://web.archive.org/web/2008072415044.../page1.php wanted to add it to a related thread - that I think was made, but can't find it anymore...
Quickly now, since I'm about to make my choice. Given the choice between the HP Omen gaming desktop, the Asus ROG Strix GL753, and the Lenovo Legion Y720, which would you recommend?
I think it was one of those "can I have a myspleen because I love star wars long time invite" people but I have no proof, just a feeling.
I would hate to think it was a forum member. Anyone could lurk and copy that information used in the ebay listings though.
Regarding the sale of Harmy's DEs... it's one thing to make custom packaging and labels for copies for personal use, but selling them is just wrong. Has the person who dared offer them for sale been blacklisted yet?
And giant freaking tv's is hardly a new idea.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JumbotronI would think glasses free 3D at theaters is going to be a giant monitor of some sort. It's what Cameron wants ready when Avatar 2 finally comes out.
The price of these big TVs is going to be very prohibitive. I think this installation is a publicity stunt for samsung
At least Tarantino and Nolan are trying to keep 70mm alive and kicking. Wish I could afford to go see Dunkirk on film. The preview I saw in front of Rogue One when I saw it in 70mm IMAX was stunning.
Seriously... things are going down and down. Cinema is dying. 35mm was the real deal. The digital era is killing the movie industry.
Woohoo! I had that odd feeling already being in a cinema and watching a DCP... it felt like I was home watching a movie on my TV. Now I guess it's definitely going to be like watching your freaking TV! I don't wanna pay almost the price of a Blu-ray disc to see the same stuff without having the possibility of setting the volume...

Now that I've had a chance to think about it some, whatever happens, happens. The places I might care about made it clear they don't care about me so there is really nothing I can do. Why waste the positive energy on it when it can be put towards better things.
I sent my recommendations to Myspleen admin on this so it's in their hands now.
It would be in their best interest as a site to protect themselves even if the ban of invites is temporary until this gets solved but what do I know. 
re: Jay (at OT) - "We ❤️ Star Wars and give it all the moneys. Please don't sue us." 
harmy's star wars were on ipt before as well, havent used that site in around 10 months, but everything leaks to there
Besides, kicking a hornet's nest is not a good idea -- they sting EVERYTHING in the area. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink?
I'm going to talk with the myspleen admin. Maybe they will put a temporary closure on new members coming in for the time being.
As far as I know, Harmy does not condone the selling of his versions, I would think NJVC feels the same. Whomever it is, is printing the discs and all the artwork to boot, but it doesn't justify stealing either way. I'd bet it was someone who went to OT.com begging for a myspleen invite. If Jay is the admin he says he is, he'd stop the flow of invites out of OT immediately until further notice.
Aw, guys? Cut'em some slack. Defense lawyers are expensive at half the price! For a mere 30 songs, "Jury orders student to pay $675,000 for illegally downloading music" http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=8226751 Multiply that by the biggest block-buster franchise of movies ever and those guys should double/triple their Buy-It-Now's.
don't know if the piracy ads at the start of original copies have changed much in the USA, but they used to have a thing in that screen that said piracy funds terrorism, so they have had the outlet to bring in the big guns againsus the whole time, military intelligence and there is nothing any of us can do to stop them locating us, they are the system, vpn's and all that crap are worthless against them
yes, absolutely, I think it is getting towards that time anyway, when the uploaders should be at least thinking seriously about whether they should be risking this for too much longer, if at all, the curtains are beginning to close, which was always inevitable, they were always going to win if they started to try to win, they outgun us, pure and simple
My rage is not regarding the law breaking part... More the possible consequences... And with money involved these consequences may come faster...
Also, thus sellers may even bring project makers to stop sharing finished projects, if they have to fear finding them on eBay...
dont get me wrong MrBrown, I am not in favor of or defending the actions of the people selling this stuff, I think it sucks, but we all know what we do here, we are breaking the law(s) of various countries, so it is a tad hypocrytical when we start pointing fingers at others breaking the law in different ways
surprised the CEO of Disney doesnt want to own ebay, would be rather easy for them to sue them into the floor if there is more than one count
Just that it is not a new thing it doesn't make it any better... Calculate it that way: The person sells 12 burned and printed discs 8 printed sheets of paper, 5 BluRay cases for 190 usd. Let's say his material costs are about... 20-30 usd... His time spending: 6 hours (he may print and cut the papers while burning the discs...) so... He makes about 160 dollars per 6 hours of work... Most of it waiting until the burning process finished... That's roughly 25 usd per hour... How much of that does go to the ones who spend time into the realization of the project in the first place? 0. They just get the trouble if the companies start to pursue...
On the other hands the eBay sellers are making kind of much money for stuff people may find for free, or the real price of the discs and boxes...
and the ebay thing isnt new, been people doing that for years now, how that Ghostface dude buys some of his workprints off memory
the personal purposes argument doesnt work when it is released to the masses though, I do get your point, but honestly, between the 2 I would be more worried about The Guardian, they are heat seeking missiles when they think they have a story and always play the devils advocate, one day they side with you, the next they are trying to take you out
Difference: at eBay someone is making money with it. That may alert companies more than a review regarding some nerds, trying to regrade for personal purposes...
they were challenging Disney to release regrades of Star Wars, because the reporter liked yours, thought that was incredibly funny, an admission of piracy in an international newspaper, one of the biggest in 2 markets, USA and UK, which bizarrely also happen to be the 2 most aggressive nations against pirates and acts of piracy
don't you guys know about the review of the 2 Star Wars, Harmy's and MrNiceGuy's I think it was in The Guardian newspaper, talk about spotlight, when I saw it I didnt know whether to laugh or go eek, mentioned a few of you by name
Oddly enough they mention a few OT.com members that participated in different aspects right in the description. That can't be good. It looks like the DE stuff that came from the Spleen.
That someone has made over $4000 selling Harmy's work on Ebay makes me want to rip arms out of sockets.

In case you were wondering if anybody was still using Betamax as a recording format in 2017. http://amp.sfist.com/amp/articles/create...0001811cd8
http://amp.sfist.com/amp/articles/create...0001811cd8Nothing is up. He hasn't been on here in a month and not replied to pm's from me since March. Just wanted to keep in touch.
seems as if UK version is the same as the German one.. both are from StudioCanal...
New confirmation that Spielberg directed Poltergeist: http://www.blumhouse.com/2017/07/14/conf...ltergeist/
well if their dts headphone x track is anything to go by, Atmos would probably be a bad fit, DTS X would stand a better chance but only in full spec cinemas, certain sound effects came off very well in that headphone x track, but it had distance problems and sounded wrong
it's going to take a huge amount of work to remaster that properly to object based if they try to do that
It will be interesting to hear how T2 sounds in the theatre when it is rereleased, after all it won the academy award for its sound
in our world it is usually known as the v99 copy, in case you are interested
the lionsgate version is the best of Terminator 2 so far and has a naughty DTS Heaphone X track on it too, though that score isnt the best show off of it's talents, the bone breaks made me cringe though, felt like it was happening a few feet away
The German edition has 7.1 German audio announced, but just 5.1 English audio... Has the US version English 7.1?
But... I was a bit bummed by the sky net skull edition... The skull looked a bit cheap...
