@alleycat eagle eyed fans can notice the nuclear reactor fallout is still showing on the monitors in the Chinese embassy scene at the beginning, lol. I corrected that in my version
Yes the DC fixes some changes that were supposedly forced on the TC. Originally a major scene took place in the middle but it was moved to the beginning as the producers wanted to keep people interested. In order for that to make sense some chinese dialogue scenes had to be altered. The DC puts it back to the original order, along with some less significant changes.

@Feallan I have a VCR that has s-vid out but its kinda broken, hopefully can see if I get that noise from it into the cap card. It seems like impedance mismatch, ghosting
So both the composite out on your device and composite in on your capture card are clean, but S-Video out to S-Video in gets you interference? Or is some adapter in place? FWIW when I was capturing VHS tapes a couple years ago, I used some chinese USB capture card and a VCR with SCART->S-video adapter. When the adapter was plugged in (just plugged in, not even connected to anything else) I got a lot of interference when capturing audio from the separate line out
its not, I said the composite out works fine. When I take that composite out into the S-Video in on the card, then I get the interference. The composite in on the card is a clean signal, even from S-Vid out from the LD.
Tough one here: getting interference on my S-Video in on my Diamond VC500 USB capture card.. The composite (RCA) in does NOT have the interference.. -Replaced cables, that didn't do it. -Moved the card around to different ports, nothing changed. -Tried turning off every device in my room.. nothing. -Uninstalled/reinstalled the driver.. still not resolved. -Tried 3 different capture programs. -Even replaced the cap card w/ an identical brand new one.. same problem. I don't get it. It worked a few months ago flawlessly in Win10 x64. I don't know whats changed?? Note: its not RGB aura lights (they're off just like they were 6 months ago when I last capped. Its not the wall outlet either, tried that. Nor the lights in the room.. same lights as last time.
if you can watch 3d at home then I can't see why you would want the 4k, as it's a true 3d built-from-the-ground-up movie. If it was an older film that had been 3d converted then i would get why you might want 4k as well
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).
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
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
Hope 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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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
