Does anyone have the DTS-HD MA 5.1 track from older Blu-ray releases of Léon / Leon Director's Cut? The 4K/remastered BD only comes with Atmos or 7.1.

Thanks

Brought this up in another thread, but figured it deserved it's own.

Is there a "best" way to rip discs that use seamless branching? There's a couple syncs I'd like to do with discs that use it, but I don't want to sync it to my rip only to have it fall out of sync with another due to MakeMKV dropping frames.

And on a side note, why is this so difficult? Appending video files seems like a relatively simple thing to do, you'd think this would be solved by now.

What the + and - actually do. Can someone say what is what

When I add a + value does the audio move forward on the video or does the audio come earlier?

I know this is actually basic, but I always confuse myself and then the values I send someone are not correct.

I'm an amateur(very very amateur, only 4tb of space) archivist and seeing the effort put into restoring originals here has been fun to watch. I'm a lurker, only just recently got an account. Nice to meet you all.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to create a Blu-ray from a TV-show I recorded. There's also been an online-press-conference for that show which I'd like to include as a bonus-feature on the disc. However, the video from that download is 1080p at 25 FPS, which isn't supported in the Blu-ray specs.

These are the full video-details from MediaInfo:

The video-level also needs to be changed to 4.0 or 4.1 to match Blu-ray-specs, but that can be easily done using tsMuxeR. The rest should be ok, except for the progressive/interlaced-thing.

I know that there's a setting when encoding the video with x264 which is called "fake-interlaced". It's used to make a progressive encode, but adding an interlaced-flag to the video, so it is Blu-ray-compatible. Is there any way to add such a flag to this video, or is the only way to get it Blu-ray-compliant a re-encode?

I already tried changing the header-information in the MKV of the original file and MediaInfo shows that file as interlaced afterwards, but unfortunately tsMuxeR still recognizes it as progressive and muxes it as 1080p again.

Any idea how I can solve that issue without re-encoding the video or is it impossible and an encode can't be avoided?

So, yesterday I got about 300 DVD cases as a gift!
Not that I needed them, but the previous owner said "take them, or I'll throw them away..." and hence I can't refuse!

Nice fact is, there were quite some different kinds of them - many only or two specimen: single "amaray", double, with DVD symbol and without, full, slim, super slim, extra slim, black, transparent, semi-transparent, matte, glossy; one dark grey (can't remember to have seen one before), one red and one super jewel box; among them, around twenty different kind of hubs!

What to do with them? Well, as it's always better to store burned disc in single (double) cases instead inside of plastic bags, I think I'll use them to store some projects burned onto DVD and Blu-ray.

Why on Blu-ray? Isn't "better" to put them on proper Blu-ray cases? You know, I thought the same until today - when I spent quite some time dividing them... why must BD be stored in BD cases? Sure, pressed ones come with that kind of cases, but why can't I do something different? At the end, DVD cover is 26% bigger than BD one - so, it's more "important" in a way; and for sure a project burned on a BD and stored inside a DVD case would appear, if not better, at least different!

List of DVD cases from the most favourite:

• colored - I'm a sucker for them, maybe because they are quite scarce!
  • violet - are there any?
    
  • yellow - also, any out there?
    
  • green
    
  • red
    
  • white
    
• black glossy - so elegant
  
• semi-transparent matte - sadly all of them with DVD logo... good for DVD projects, though!
  

Tl;dr: just jump to "From Idea to Concept"!

First of all, some previous threads that lead me to this idea:

• Laserdisc "Renaissance" in Blu-ray? - https://fanrestore.com/thread-2119.html
  
• Possible, alternative "container" for our releases - https://fanrestore.com/thread-1262.html
  
• Setting the standards: codecs and delivery formats - https://fanrestore.com/thread-112.html
  

• Which physical optical disc?
  

• Which container?
  

• Which video codec?
  

• Which audio codec?
  

• Which subtitles types?
  

• What kind of "format" this would be?
  

• Why a new "format"? Aren't DVD/BD/UHD-BD enough?
  

• • they do not allow 44.1kHz - absolute must for LD and Cinema DTS untouched audio tracks
    
  • they do not allow 2K/4K - needed for DCI contents, even if they are (still?) quite rare
    
  • not all players can play burned discs - especially BD and UHD-BD
    
  • format structures and file format take space - at least around 7% for BD compared to MKV
    

• Then why not using an existing file format, like AVCHD or XAVC S or XAVC HS?
  

• So at the end it will be just an MKV or MP4 container eventually burned on optical disc?
  

• What's the main point of all of this?
  

• Does this phantomatic format already have a name?
  

Hey, 
Anyone have this DTS disc synced with the UHD?
I know Turisu have the raw files but if someone has synced it i would appreciate it!
