Hi, My name is Daniel and I am looking for great IMAX or Open Matte restorations to take a look at.
Also - I may want to remux it later for Polish Dub if I am able to find any! Great to be here Smile

Hiya

Getting back into remuxing and such, and thought I'd work a bit on getting more original audio for some of my 4k's.

  The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) - DVD to UHD
Posted by: velocity - 2025-10-12, 09:16 PM - Forum: Released - No Replies

Resynced all tracks (mono, 5.1, commentary, audience participation) from the 2000 DVD to the 2025 UHD. UK cut (only one on the UHD).

I personally prefer the mono of the UHD but it's good to have options. The audience participation track was dropped from later releases.

FLAC.  PM.

  Superman (1978) - Isolated Score Theatrical Cut
Posted by: velocity - 2025-10-12, 08:42 PM - Forum: Released - No Replies

I resynced the 5.1 isolated score (actually 5.0, as LFE is empty) from the director's cut BD to the theatrical cut. It largely fits very well, but there is one/two fadeovers you might notice, and the end credits music is a bit longer.

Synced to the theatrical cut UHD (fits BD too). Available as 5.1 FLAC and 5.0 DTS-HD MA. PM.

  optimizing my LaserDisc Captures using AviSynth
Posted by: FilmRestoration2015 - 2025-10-02, 11:44 PM - Forum: Audio and video editing - Replies (1)

I have a LaserDisc collection of about 75 titles and have been capturing a number of them in OBS Studio via the Hauppauge 610 Video Capture Device connected to my Pioneer CLD-V2800 player and ASUS ProArt P16 laptop. It took me a year of experimenting with various settings in OBS after recording lots of discs, but I finally settled on a group of core settings that yield me a completed capture I am pleased with. All my discs are NTSC and live action, although I plan to add several animated and anime titles as well. I’ve been capturing them at a resolution of 640x480 and with a color space of Rec. 601 (limited range of colors). While the preset fps in my Hauppauge settings is 29.97, I set the Common FPS Values for the output in OBS’ settings to 59.94 fps after reading posts that frames actually get dropped or deleted if captured at lower frame rates. I would rather continue capturing at 59.94 or 60 for the output because I don’t want to lose any frames. OBS automatically converts all interlaced content to progressive. I’ve been recording both the analog and stereo mixes in PCM. The majority of them sound excellent.

Throughout the second half of this year, I’ve been researching and learning about many filters and scripts in AviSynth, which I want to use for much of my post-processing work. I have StaxRip (version 2.50.2-x64) and many plugins/filters from the archived package, which also include those for VapourSynth that I downloaded from GitHub. I’ve been assembling a tentative plan for my workflow and would especially welcome your suggestions to tweak or perhaps add different filters. Feedback on parameters and preset values is also much appreciated.

I have watched at least 60 of my LDs and want the filters to take care of the most common global issues associated with this analog format: chroma noise, jagged edges/shimmering, dot crawl, rainbow patterns, and random video artifacts that pop up. (I may engage in more extensive frame-by-frame restorations for certain titles.) While I would like to clean up those anomalies to a considerable degree, I want to preserve the original texture and detail of the image as much as possible. I have envisioned my restoration project in three parts:

(1) Since nearly every one of my titles was originally shot on film before transfer to LD, I will perform an inverse telecine for each. Since there may have been duplicate frames created during capture, I will make sure TDecimate is part of my script. All of this goes towards converting 59.94 to 23.976.

(2) Anti-aliasing, very moderate noise reduction, and restoration cleanup.

(3) I will be eventually transferring the finished file to a BD-R (720p), which I’ll watch on my QLED TV. I have a region-free Sony Blu-ray player that has an option to output precisely at 720p. At this stage, I will want to convert YUV to RGB and Rec. 601 to Rec. 709. I will be upscaling/resizing the captured SD files to 960x720.

Here are my scripts and projected order for each job’s workflow:

Part 1

Field:
TIVTC
TFM().TDecimate()
cthresh=255

Frame Rate:
ChangeFPS(24000, 1001)


Part 2

Line:
DAA
daa3mod()

Noise:
mClean(thSAD=400, chroma=true, sharp=10, rn=14, deband=4, depth=0, strength=20)

Restoration:
ChubbyRain2(th=10, radius=10, sft=10) # progressive sources only
DOTKILLS(ITERATIONS=1)

Note: I also will probably use DeScratch to minimize and/or remove scratches/tramlines from B&W movies and older films shot in color.


Part 3

Color: YUV / RGB
YUV to RGB
Dither_convert_yuv_to_rgb()
ColorMatriSickmode="rec.601->rec.709")

I will be using ffmpeg - ProRes as my encoder.
Encoder command line:
Custom: --colorprim bt709 --transfer bt709 --colormatrix bt709

MOV is my container.

  Lethal Weapon (1987) in Scope 2.35:1
Posted by: Plissken1138 - 2025-10-02, 01:29 AM - Forum: In progress - Replies (9)

This is something along the lines of Stamper's reframing of The Dead Pool few years back. Who knows, I maybe conjure LW5 along the way Tongue
I recently rewatched LW with fixed 2.35 cropping to see how it moves and a lot of it fits nicely in Scope but a lot is pretty tight and needs a bit of massaging, being this wasn't initially framed for Scope, like a lot of WB titles from mid to late 80's. Opening titles slightly zoomed in on account of music credits going vertically out of Scope bounds.  I've placed the 1992 Time Warner Company logo but I'm still looking for 1987 Warner Comunications Company in Scope that would probably be apropriate logo for theatricam presentation.

Signed up to for the Borne Identity Ludlum edit. Sounded really good. Also the abridged hobbit and knives mix of Scott Pilgram.
