I hope it's not against the rules my asking, but is anyone at HDBits? I'm trying to locate a 4:3 Aristocats in HD, and apparently it's only there. (although I hear it's 25fps).
^ good article on color. cleared a couple things up for me i only half-understood

lol the BFI has one of the few IB techs left of Suspiria but is screening the DCP, whichever one that is
I think thats more a question of what program would support it, and then which codec container when you encode
Does anyone know how to display a 3D MKV file with both sides visible side by side?
Warm Gun, some DTS-HD 24 bits are 16 bits into a 24 bits containers, It's rare, but this error can happen.

If you use Windows, I suggest to follow these install instructions: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/ffmpeg-windows . If everything went well, then you only need to go to the directory with the dts track in file explorer, type in cmd in the file explorer address bar to boot the command prompt, then type in ffmpeg -i input.dts output.flac
Never figured that out. Too complicated. Would rather just keep 24-bit in DTS-HD then.
Noticed fre:ac reduces my 24-bit DTS-HD movies to 16-bit when converting to FLAC. Is that normal? Is it fine?
PowerDVD 7 (and PowerDVD 8 Ultra with some hack) were capable of.. I ordered a PowerDVD7 CD with key at ebay.. i try it.. 
its worth a try. Because I want to see the menus.. and not just be relying on ripping
its worth a try. Because I want to see the menus.. and not just be relying on rippingHope you can work something out MrBrown, it doesn't look like there is much software out there that can play HD-DVD, and any older software may have compatibility issues with newer versions of Windows
I do not use makemkv for ripping. I avoid that shady tool, as I do not trust it at all. I know I can rip stuff now, but I want to play it on my screen without needing to rip it ahead.
Sadly all my HD-DVDs are all at another Place stored, I only have the 5 Disc Blade Runner HD-DVD Set at hand...
Yay! I recently received a HD-DVD&BluRay Kombo internal drive! Now I am able to check out HD-DVDs on my PC! Sadly no recent Software Player to be found that still supports them playing.
dumb Q but anyone begun tackling Babylon? I wouldn't change a thing, but I can understand how a few editors might want to tweak a tad here or there. Its divisive, but I loved it
You also have to take into account the content of the audio track, a relatively inactive track will compress to a greater ratio than a busier, more active one
the filesize difference feels right. If the DTS-MA is a 5.1 (or 6.1 or 7.1) mix, you can replicate that in a lossless FLAC and save on the space. Some FLAC decoders might struggle a bit representing the discrete channels though
Like Dolby Vision layer on top of the HDR10 base on discs. Kind of what I thought at another time. So because it has to max out the DTS core bitrate consistently there is often more than needed. Okay, now I get what stwd4nder2 meant.
The core is the older DCA codec (full bitrate) and the extra information is used to reconstruct the lossy core into a lossless audio track
Then the program fre:ac isn't messing up the conversion. Okay. Embedded DTS stream? I thought the DTS core was part of the same Master Audio stream. That when a device can't play MA, the codec simply tells it to cut off all the information above DTS core. Are you saying the core audio is redundant?
FLAC is much more efficient then DTS-HD, plus it doesn't have the embedded DTS stream which at full bitrate can take up half of that 1.9GB by itself
Is it right for a three hour stereo DTS-HD MA track to be reduced from 1.9 GB to 250 MB when converting to FLAC? Is it really still the same quality? It's an old movie, Judgement at Nuremberg (Kino). I never converted any of my movies to FLAC until yesterday. Seems odd that there would be so much filler in the track.
whats a good, short+sweet fast program to overlay/merge 2 (or more) vids together, like a melding, interwoven, combining both images into 1 (not append or stack!). I know Premiere can do it, but I have to setup a whole new project just to do that, or edit a timeline, its a bit much. Any other programs to do it, respect the colorspaces, not degrade the video quality, fast?

If anyone’s interested I’m doing a worst discs of 2022 awards tonight: https://youtu.be/YcNq5AY_FFk
There are reasons why these projects were donors only and I can only ask everyone to keep their promise to NOT share them. It's not about being generous, it's about being respectful to those who made these projects possible.
I got one on OT. He asked for a scan of The Lion King. I told him I didn't have it, but I'd let him know if anyone who got a copy for having donated to make the scan possible proves generous enough to make it public.
If you've read the bluray.com forum, you've seen the bad news about Superman in the new 4K boxset, right? They removed the 5.1 track from the first film.
FYI, Kathryn Bigelow in attendance, it was tonight, but its also 4/4-> https://drafthouse.com/nyc/event/terror-...-near-dark
off topic, this is pretty cool https://www.yedlin.net/ResDemo/ResDemoPt2.html (Pt1 is interesting but a little more general) demo of resolutions, how they work, cropping, zooming, IMAX vs 4k, very helpful
DaVinci Resolve does realtime voice isolation/music removal. It works awesome. https://youtu.be/EzpRM8lCwNI?t=1103
@PDB according to reviews the video is top notch. I haven't seen myself, so I can't comment on it.

Rocky Series on 4K Blu-ray is screwed. Tons of audio issues. So be aware and possibly hold your purchase
I saw it in 3D the other night. DNR is evident but in all honestly, it was well managed. looked great on the big screen.
If Titanic is anything like Aliens or Terminator then it has been degrained and then regrained

HEED THIS WARNING: Look at the clever auto-rules-filter a hacker set up on my Gmail w/out me knowing.. I was going crazy wondering where my missed stuff was?? (It was all in my 'Trash' folder!) <-note the word-triggers. I missed important emails from Amazon, my bank, an issue about my car, a free movie ticket that expired, Dr. appts... vicious! https://i.imgur.com/ypS90oR.jpg
@Endocryne zilch, but could be summer or fall release? They're not annoucning far in advance like they used to. Lets all promise to post the news here once we see it? I'm wondering whats the holdup of Friedkin's TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA 4k which transfer's been approved for awhile now, also whats up / MIAMI VICE 2006 4k?
I know Amazon doesn't have it, thats to recompense me for the rental. I don't want a vudu gift card, if such a thing exists. Good luck to you sir.
@Bilbofett Amazon does not have the 4k transfer as of yet. According to justwatch its only on Vudu. Il'l eventually check it out in my travels.
@SpaceBlackKnight drop me a $6 Amazon gift card via email and I'll check it out and give you screenshots
Once Upon a Time in the West is 4k on Vudu. Anybody in the US wanna check out if it's been degrained like To Catch a Thief or solid like Waynes World?

is it better to time-stretch a previously interpolated video, or interpolate a previously time-stretched video?
