At work they are doing 4K editing real time with a Ryzen and RX480 8GB card, very cost effective and very fast.
You may want to look at Ryzen, much higher performance for the $$ for editing work. The extra cores really get put to work.
I don't have a RED camera, so I don't need to worry about the CPU. I'm still going to go for an i7, though.
Also, factor in the cost of a BMD output card and a second monitor/TV, as the colour management in resolve is useless without it.
Resolve is a bit of a pig for editing, you will need 16GB, and an 8GB GPU is really needed. The CPU isn't all that important unless you are using RED footage. Drive speed howver is crucial. as is HDD space. I'd forget trying to use it on a laptop.
OK, I'm at a sort of a quandary. The Aurora R6 I looked at yesterday (4/8) is the only one of two desktops I looked at to not have a processor in the yellow (read: below 1070), so in case a laptop beats it out, what specs would be recommended for editing on DaVinci Resolve using a laptop?
I need to know whether or not to factor in the cost of an external hard drive.
so.. you might go für 16GB.. that should be enough to avoid upgrading some time

"The Home Whovian was a 30 minute direct-to-video documentary produced in 1985 by and for the New Jersey Network (NJN). The special was hosted by Eric Luskin, and contained extended and re-cut interview footage that had previously appeared in Doctor Who's Who's Who. The special was later released on video in the UK by Reeltime Pictures in 2001, with a DVD edition under the Myth Makers series in 2004." - http://gallifreybase.com/w/index.php/The_Home_Whovian
Anyway, back to editing suites. Since I'm going to be using DaVinci Resolve from time to time I expect I'll need for the GPU either a 1070 or a 1080. Any idea on how much RAM I might need?
Speaking of which, I'm hoping to give the old Lionheart logo the Yadif treatment. I think it might appear on "The Home Whovian", a PBS special presented in association with NJN that was released on VHS just over 30 years ago.
Between Avisynth and VirtualDub, with their large library of plug-ins, can supply many functions missing-from / better-than other programs. U
Avisynth I can do using VirtualDub. DaVinci Resolve is mainly for color correction purposes.
Avisynth can be tweaked though. http://avisynth.nl/index.php/High_bit-de...h_Avisynth
The manual should help, if you can finish it (1069 pages) before the next version comes out ... http://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/Da...Manual.pdf
Apparently DaVinci Resolve doesn't like Avisynth (it's output formats). https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=172456 "although Resolve supports AVI ... it only supports a few specific formats. ... The problem becomes getting UYVY, or 10-bit RGB, out of Avisynth. As far as I know the Avisynth+ project hasn't implemented higher bit depths just yet."
^ I'm glad it's not just me. Clearly a video game designer did NOT design that user interface
> Valeyard I just installed it. Looks like I have steep learning curve ahead!
I still plan to get a new laptop, but at that price range, I'm not planning to shop around that exclusive item right now.
You can see it, but I doubt it'll be useful for your PC; after all, I don't have any of the proper specs, and I'm pretty sure you don't, either. https://www.extremetech.com/computing/24...urn-speeds
And with the first Ultra HD Blu-ray burner on the market being priced well out of my range, it doesn't look like I'll be shopping for any UHD adventures any time soon. Maybe in a few years' time, when the prices go down...
Whoa, that was a blast! Anyway, I'm back from my laptop hunt. Now, I'm going to analyse what I observed more closely.
Anyway... when I get to restoring TGTBATU, I'm thinking of extending the Mexican standoff at the end to incorporate the full, unedited version of "Il triello", the music that plays during the showdown. I'm not sure what route to go, but I do know it involves reusing shots, so I'm going to need some input here.
But the way I see it, DaVinci Resolve 12.5 is the best tool for the job. Course, I might upgrade when the free version gives more stereo capability than the current version does, but I guess some things can wait; after all, I'm not yet planning any stereo projects.
Oh, regarding color grading, when it needs to be done manually I'm gonna swear by DaVinci Resolve Lite, unless someone would point me to some better freeware in that regard.
Damn, I just upgraded too, and I dl at 400mbs with upload now at 40mbs ! That's much better for ratio, previously I was at 500K upload lol
Some providers do throttle bandwidth during peak times. It's worth checking with your ISP
It *should* be around 50mbps, but in reality is around 20mpbs... better than previous 7mbps, but far from the potential 200mbps fiber can reach in my city... oh, let's wait if it improves in the weekend!
Fiber is now at my home! Not lightning fast 
but I can upload at 20x (at least) in comparison to old ADSL... that's why I uploaded three projects in the last days!

Nearly have a complete Rambo Artisan set, but I miss the second film (in the case, there was the SE with the drab colors) anybody got a copy of that release? https://www.amazon.com/Rambo-First-Blood...0784011214
I will only accept original mono tracks for use in my restoration projects.
On my end, I haven't been able to find any good deal on the Italian Blu-ray for Fistful, but I do intend to look for other materials for my planned Dollars Trilogy restoration in the meantime, so as not to waste too much time.
@Stamper is the fog on the playing surface? Sounds like the MGM/Technicolor disc problem. Washing the discs might fix it if they're not too far gone
DVDrot... currently I'm buying some used stuff (about 2 bucks a film) to save the original mixes... just got Rambo 1 + 2 alas those discs show severe fog on their surface. Was able to play them and rip them, but they're due to be unusable in 10 years times. So be sure to save on those early discs (from 1997 to 2002) while you can, they all have original mixes that were crapped upon and doctored for reissues.
The real question is does the hd-dvd pron have DNR compared to the blu? @MrBrown you'll have to get the blu ray and compare them 
Well... I think of buying the pron parodys to nightmare on elm street and the human Centipede...
More to the point, who in the hell would put undeclared pr0n in a bulk auction?
I just bought a package of HD-DVD. The two Fleshwestern were not mentioned 8n the eBay auction...
@IcePrick I agree it's looking very good. I've got it pre-ordered. It was always a long shot that they would get the rights to the original dub
@zoidberg It's a minor disappointment for me, but it is shaping up to be a killer release. At least Eureka gives a damn about the movie.
@Stamper. Try Valeyard's Motion-Adaptive script. You can find it in the Restoration Guides subforum.
I think some field blending is involved to keep PAL playing at the same lenght as original footage, thus it's unusable to remaster
Anyone knows how to fix this? Pal, 25fps stuff that is actually the same lenght as the 23.976fps NTSC version. If I convert back to NTSC, it's shorter, if I keep 25fps, I can't sync in FCPX as the timeline is 23.976
Hey... It is a Shoutbox... And if a language qualifies for shouting... It is German... 
Anyway... I finally got finished using VirtualDub to make a high-quality recording of my 20th Century-Fox Video rental tape of Fistful of Dollars. As soon as I can, I'll put up screenshots from it and the later MGM/UA tape for comparison purposes.
Seriously though, I need not consult my German dictionary just to follow your conversations.

I'm sure you've got a few unique video masters/sound mixes/special features in amongst that job lot! Is there anything unique about the T2 steelbook other than the 7.1 audio?
mostly the HD-DVD and the BD counterparts are very similar.. just almost unnoticable encoding differences...
...and that's a pity, because some of the companies, first on the HD-DVD trian, and later jumped the BD train revised their HD masters with DNR for BD releases...
