  Has anyone ever obtained original film prints of these films?
Posted by: jedimasterplo - 2022-10-16, 06:32 PM - Forum: Movies, TV shows and other - No Replies

Back to the future 1 and 2 terminator 1 and 2 plus the Jurassic park films that were grain reduced or can get them do a 4k scan of them with Dolby vision grade to give them the treatment that should have been given to them.

Lightbulb Lossless import MKV with DTS into Adobe Premiere
Posted by: Bilbofett - 2022-10-14, 04:16 PM - Forum: Converting, encoding, authoring - Replies (1)

I figured out how to import *.mkv (also w/ DTS-HD MA support) directly into Premiere w/out re-encoding.

Use case: losslessly transcode a blu-ray to MKV without re-encode and keep the DTS track in-tact, edit 5.1 in Premiere, DM me for details

  The Beach (2000) Special Edition
Posted by: alleycat - 2022-10-11, 12:36 PM - Forum: Released - Replies (11)

[Image: 7pilHWCl.jpg]

The Beach is one of those movies like True Lies and The Abyss that is completely absent from Blu Ray. And whilst it's not on the same level as those movies I have a soft spot for it.

There are two different HD versions floating around, a HDTV recording in the original aspect ratio and a cropped open matte WebDL. For this project I used AutoOverlay (I actually got it to work!!) to place the WebDL on top of the HDTV, as the WebDL was higher quality. Color was matched to the HDTV, so the far left and right side of the image is from the HDTV and the rest is from the open matte. The matching worked great, aside from two shots everything lined up perfectly.

Next that file was run through upscaling/downscaling, cleaning, slight sharpening and dehaloing in AviSynth. Then into Phoenix for dirt and dust removal. Finally into After Effects for re-graining. I did not fully trust either the open matte or HDTV to have an accurate representation of the grain due to the lower quality of the clearly older master, therefore I used the match grain function and matched it to Gangs of New York - which according to imdb was shot on the same negative stock.

Thanks to @PDB for some AutoOverlay guidance.

I would have loved to get the Laserdisc audio for this but sadly it's a very rare and very expensive disc - the only one I could find was on eBay for $900! So the audio tracks and extras have all been ported over from the DVD, along with a few interviews I found on youtube. English SDH subtitles are also included, but these required a lot of manual retiming. Some appeared early, some on time and some late, it was all over the place.

  • BD25 with animated menus, background video, pop up menus and resume function
  • 1080P AVC Video
  • English AC3 5.1 448 KBPS from the DVD
  • English AC3 2.0 192 KBPS from the DVD
  • French AC3 2.0 192 KBPS from the DVD
  • Audio Commentary by Director Danny Boyle from the DVD
  • English SDH, French, German, Italian and Spanish Subtitles
  • Making Of
  • Deleted Scenes
  • Entertainment Tonight Segment
  • Take2Mark Interview
  • The Priory Segment
  • Music Video
  • Theatrical Trailers, Teaser Trailer and TV Spots

  Smart Rendering for H264 ?
Posted by: Falcon - 2022-10-10, 01:04 PM - Forum: Converting, encoding, authoring - Replies (2)

Hello, I would like to modify the opening credits of a Blu-Ray (with a PNG sequences), in another language.
I wish to do this without re-encode the rest.
This kind of knowledge also interests me to cut or insert things in a remux.
Do you have any suggestions please ? Smile

Great to join a community that is sick of the crap that the major movie companys are giving to us and doing their own thing by restoring and creating the movies that we all love so much!

Great to find a community like this. I had Laserdiscs back in the 90s and went in hard on DVD. Skipped blurays mostly, but I'm back in a big way on 4K trying to get my final editions of my favourite movies. I love the fact folks here are trying to restore original theatrical audio from all the original sources. Look forward to trying to contribute if possible.

I'm brand new here. My main interest is the work people are doing in 35mm scans for preservation. If I can donate or help in any of those projects I will. 
Are the scans from previous projects available on request or only for donators? 
I love the scans they look great.
