  Did back to the future get a newer 4k scan?
Posted by: jedimasterplo - 2022-10-19, 06:41 AM - Forum: Movies, TV shows and other - Replies (14)

Someone went on the Deluxe site for theater releases, looks like Universal is re-releasing some movies for some flashback screenings and They noticed that Back to the Future is one of them and the strange thing is the date on the CPL, its dated 2021.

Is there a newer transfer now that may eclipse the 4K? Or is it when the existing 4k transfer may have been downloaded onto a DCP file?

  How to get this color in HDR
Posted by: allldu - 2022-10-18, 03:39 PM - Forum: General technical discussions - No Replies

Hi,

I was wondering if there's a way of coloring subtitles in this color in HDR color space, working on an SDR monitor? Is there a way of knowing what should color be in SDR to look a certain way in HDR color space?

  Airplane! (1980) Laserdisc mono mixes
Posted by: GreedoNeverShot - 2022-10-18, 04:26 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - No Replies

Hello, has anyone here in this community captured the original mono mix from either the 81' or 91' Laserdiscs?:

1981 LD:
https://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/20318/LV-1305/Airplane!

1991 LD:
https://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/20319/LV-1305/Airplane!

Since all we have is the 5.1 remix, I am planning to sync either mono track to the recently restored blu-ray that was released a couple years ago. If anyone has captured them, would you send them to me so I can sync it and make it available to everyone else? Thanks for helping!

  Multiple color calibration in one file, with HDR metadata ?
Posted by: Falcon - 2022-10-17, 01:22 PM - Forum: General technical discussions - Replies (4)

Hi, one of the problems in Blu-Ray / UHD is their color calibration which often does not suit everyone.
Would it be possible to use HDR metadata to create multiple color calibration in one file?
For example, Matrix in HDR10+ would be like 2000s green calibration, HDR10 would be like cinema 35mm, and Dolby Vision would be like the actual UHD BD

  Has anyone ever obtained original film prints of these films?

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.

  • English AC3 5.1 448 KBPS from the DVD

  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!
