Hi everyone,

I’m Serling. I joined FanRestore mainly because I’ve started working on the restoration of some episodes of The Twilight Zone, particularly the six Season 2 episodes that were originally shot on videotape and therefore never looked as good as the film-based episodes on Blu-ray.

I’m currently experimenting with AI restoration using Topaz Video AI / Starlight, starting with “The Lateness of the Hour.”

I’m interested in restoration and preservation in general, and I’m looking forward to seeing what other members of the community are working on.

Nice to meet you all!

As most Twilight Zone fans know, six episodes from Season 2 were shot on videotape rather than 35mm film:

• The Lateness of the Hour
  
• The Night of the Meek
  
• The Whole Truth
  
• Twenty Two
  
• Static
  
• Long Distance Call
  

Hi everyone!
My name is Abdul Rahim and i am from Pakistan.I’ve been a lifelong film/movie fan, especially when it comes to classic films and getting the best possible home-theater experience out of them.
Recently joined FansRestore and looking forward to learning from everyone here, sharing my own experiences, and discovering some great restorations and releases.
Great to be here!

I am totally new here or any other forum for that matter. Also I'm probably the worst kind of member as I ony hope to find a couple of audio tracks and will not have much to contribute myself.

So hopefully you don't kick me out right away ;-)

Input Soundtrack: 192kbps AC3, Stereo
Output Soundtrack: 16-bit, 48khz, Stereo

Not original, but the best sounding out of all available mixes.

Please thanks and PM for access

Notes: DC offset corrected, 60hz hum attenuated. Very simple sync, just slowed down 25fps source to 23.976fps and lined up the beginning, but I watched the whole movie and didn't notice any sync issues.

My question using the information we have:

- Is this restoration approved by Peter Jackson? This might turn into a “James Cameron” situation using Park Road AI upscaling.

The Lord Of the Rings UHD trilogy had upscaled a 2K DI and revisionist color grading.

Bad Taste, Meet the Feebles, Heavenly Creatures, and Forgotten Silver have never had proper releases at all.

Hi. My english so bad. I would say that I love characters who suffered so bad at a level we could consider as hell, and that people forgot : Robocop and Gray Fox are my fav ones.

Still in this category of existential hell, I also love iconic characters like Vador, Wolverine, Batman, Punisher, Maximus (Gladiator), John Kramer (Saw).

David (from Artificial Intelligence) is also one of my fav characters. His story is so sad and great in the same time.

What fascinates me the most in this life is grief. Because it's the only thing I never managed to overcome. It's also one of the rare true things existing in this illusory world. Films, relationships, what everybody calls love, all these things lie. But pain has nothing to sell you, and seeks nothing from you.

But maybe everything is fake. That was the idea proposed by The Matrix.

Encantado de conoceros a todos; soy nuevo aquí y estoy explorando.

The Untouchables LD LV-1886-WS Dolby Surround track synced to Rob's Nostalgia Project + SDU4 decoded track (flac 5.0)

An alternative to the downmix of the 6.1 Blu-Ray track used on this one (with added static)

PM for link

Note on the decoding process, similar to the one commandrbond made for his Shure decoding:
 
Sound Blaster X-Fi HD RCA out goes to the SDU4 XLR in.  SDU4 L-C-R-S XLR outputs go into TRS inputs of a Behringer UMC404HD, 4 mono channels are recorded in Reaper at 48khz/24bits (to avoid any resampling down the line)
Playback and recording are done on separate computers to avoid ground loop or interference.
An empy LFE channel is added for playback compatibility (just like commandrbond I prefer to let the AVR handle bass management rather than create an unauthentic low pass filter).  
The surround channel is duplicated, both SR and SL are attenuated by 3dbs.
The inputs of the SDU4 were very precisely aligned with a 1khz sine wave tone at -18dBFS.
The outputs of the SDU4 are calibrated at a very conservative level to avoid any clipping.
The mix is peak-normalized to the exact same peak level as the original undecoded track (preserving channel balance)
The mix is synced to the original Lt/Rt track and exported in flac 5.0, 48/24

Hello everyone!! I'm searching for every movie that exists in these aspect ratios: 1:1, 1.19:1, 1.33:1, and 1.43:1. I'd love a link with all the available films if possible. Thank you for your time and help.
