I released two new themes, light and dark, with revised logo.

I made the new light theme as default.

If you don't like it, you can always revert to the classic theme - go to the User CP/Your Profile/Edit Options

Please report eventual bugs, thanks!

I have a question is it possible for someone to fix everything not right with the Dolby vision grading of karate kid 3’s uhd blu ray?

Hi folks - a laserdisc soundtrack for you all. The original mono, now perfectly synced to the 4K Blu-ray (which has a fake mono - actually a downmix of a 5.1 remix). PM for a link - enjoy!

Has anyone got any experience with ripping these?

I don't have a drive but a friend ripped the TC of Troy with AnyDVD and sent me the files. The rip process seemed to go well without any errors.

First thing I did is attempted to demux with TS Muxer. The later versions of TSMuxer gave an error about not being able to read all of the files and the only option I had was a SD file. I then tried one of the earlier versions and that gave me the option of a HD stream. I demuxed that, it gave me a VC1 file but all I got from it was garbled video.

I then tried Evodemux, that gave me a message about the file being encrypted and that it needed decrypting first:

Found this site while looking for anime and movie recuts, lots of great work here, keep it up!

In few minutes I'm going to reorganize the forum layout - not a revolutionary change, and no forums/subforums will be deleted, only sorted in a different way.

The new layout is in beta test until the end of the year; if there will be enough positive response, I'll keep it - if not, I'll revert back to the old one.

Personally I think the new layout is cleaner, but it's up to you to decide that... so, vote vote VOTE!

Not sure the correct topic to post this under, so move it if necessary..

This is just my experiments to make something recorded on VHS more watchable in the 21st century.
Since the footage was 24p, I am going for a film look here, and grain helps mask a lack of detail so I used that here.

Original VHS (encoded in MPEG-2)


My Cleanup:


I did some color correction, IVTC,  cropping out the parts the VHS rendered unusable, and used everyone's favourite boogeyman tool, AI Up-scaling to remove the compression artifacts from MPEG-2 and try to make the haloing/ringing a bit better. Let me know what you think

For those curious, the series I used for the comparison is The Chris Isaak Show. Not really my type of thing, but I was thinking of restoring it for my father and he only has it/it only seems to be available on a bootleg set sourced from VHS/Composite into DVD recorder recordings.
