Like add grain etc so that it fits with the laserdisc versions of the original 1977 film
Just did, no you lose the high contrast and the picture is soft. If you want to tweak that one, use FilmConvert to make it look like film.
Can someone with a calibrated display take a look at these? http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/206427
(and of course there is this about Easter in the Catholic Encyclopedia) -- "The [use of Easter eggs] may have its origin in paganism, for a great many pagan customs, celebrating the return of spring, gravitated to Easter. The egg is the emblem of the germinating life of early spring. The rabbit is a pagan symbol and has always been an emblem of fertility." -- https://answersingenesis.org/holidays/ea...an-origin/
Oh.. then I would think of getting the first, if possible. Because, I hope that it may have an localizied Title Card. At least I have that hope.. 
@MrBrown it seems there are 2 Evil Dead German LDs, each one having the same Cat.#(13137). It seems we Brits didn't get a LD of The Evil Dead 
Happy Easter guys! (I always forget about gals... are anyone here, by the way?!?)
Now I just need the first german VHS and the German LD (sadly, it is censored), and I would be satisfied regarding Movie Releases of that flick.. until some 2K or 4K restauration Remaster would occur... Too bad, the german VHS I would love to have even is more expensive than the japanese LD...
Too bad, the german VHS I would love to have even is more expensive than the japanese LD...After seeing Blade Runner on the "Early master" List.. it is extreme, how different the colors are in some scenes in that DVD master: http://sd.caps-a-holic.com/vergleich.php...eichID=171
Argh.. theese collecting desires! I just treated myself a little easter present at ebay: First LD release from Japan of "The Evil Dead"...
The 2002 reprint master date for My Fellow Americans, by the way, is April 9, 2002 (and yes, I just checked).

Trailers of films shot digitally... ehhhh. I would say buy it only if you're a big fan of Avatar.
I say take it, chances are they might represent how the film looks on 35mm.
I'm offered some Avatar 35mm trailers... about 25 bucks each, not sure it's interesting since they all originate from digital?
yep. Maybe they duplicated it and then cut it out, but kept it in the box anyway, so it's definetely a 35mm print
Is there any splice on the lead? Maybe they just used a random lead they had handy. http://images.tate.org.uk/sites/default/...torage.jpg
Hey guys, I just bought a 35mm trailer, I thought I was going to get a regular 35mm print, but it comes with a lead that says it's an internegative. Does that mean I bought the interneg instead of a regular print? It does look positive ie the colors are not reversed.
It goes inside the PC, or if using an external BMD output box, just plug in in via USB3 or Thunderbolt, depending which box you get.
A decklink card works with any graphics card, you keep your main card for general computer use/GUi etc. and the decklink card supplies the image to the broadcast monitor or TV for you to view the colour corrected footage on, and make adjustments etc.
Now that I'm more certain of my theory about the dates on each DVD being their master dates... anyone have a DVD of My Fellow Americans dated 1997 on the packaging?
I'm guessing the Decklink card won't work right with the Nvidia card, right?
It is like colour correcting whilst wearing green tinted sun glasses, not really possible to do a good job.
Without a second monitor, and a BMD output card or external output device, Resolve is completely useless for colour correction, as what you see on your main GUI monitor (your standard computer monitor) is *not* the correct colours or levels, even if you calibrate it.
The cheapest options are the BMD decklink cards, such as the mini monotir https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/decklink
download the manual, there is a configuration guide and it explains everything. Basically to run resolve properly, you need a second monitor that can be calibrated fro (at least) rec709. To connect that monitor to your computer, it must be connected through a BMD device, either a PCIe card inside the computer, or an external USB or Thunderbolt output box.
@poita The trouble is, I don't know what specifically I need from BMD for color correction in Resolve. Terms like "output" and "card" are, to me, pretty vague, and not helping is that I have only a passing familiarity with BMD--why, I didn't know until you told me I needed BMD output that BMD owned DaVinci Resolve.
This came up in my youtube feed and I enjoyed it: In praise of 16mm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVWn0DENk5s
Yes, it has to be a BMD card, you cannot colour manage via multiple monitor outputs from your graphics card.
Koopa you might want to post your question in his OT thread so he has time to see it and respond - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/The-Ori...s/id/49756
Any word from the guy who said I needed a BMD output to do anything on Resolve?
It has a full bitrate DTS track with the original score. It also supposedly has outtakes during the end credits, which I don't think other editions have. I do have a PAL DVD with DTS, but an NTSC source would be preferable.
Does it have to be a BMD output, specifically? Wouldn't the 1070 or 1080 have multiple monitor ports, so that it'd theoretically be capable of running a second monitor by default?
LOL seems there's no seed anywhere for this anymore. Let us know if you find it somewhere.
"Where Eagles Dare" -- Diesem projekt ist hervorragend! Danke für das "Heads-up". Muss es anschauen. ... I mean ... Cool! must check this out!
So a better version would be to have the beginning and the ending played out in English and basically 90% of the film in German.
I actually find that the French version didn't go all the way, as scenes that would have been more believably played in German, are in French (Scenes in the gasthaus and the chateau). The agents sent can speak fluent German (Said so by Turner) so it would make sense for them to avoid speaking English after they land to avoid being heard speaking in the language of a country they are at war with (In "The Americans", the orders clearly forbid the agents from speaking Russian after they leave the USSR).
edit: just found out someone had the same idea and this half us half german dub can be found online
Would anyone interested in Where Eagles Dare, half breed edition ? Let me explain, in the film, all german officers speak english with a german accent in the original version. However in the french version, they all speak german. The french used the german dub for all these parts, with added subtitles. It's much better cos it gives a much more immersive experience of being on dangerous grounds. So my idea would be to take the original english, and patch all the german parts from the french dub, thus giving all non french speaking fans the exact same feel as all the french had when they viewed the film.
And what would I need a BMD port for, if I don't have one of their cameras?
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
Koopa: maybe this helpd: https://www.videomaker.com/article/f6/17...quirements ?
"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.
