Hello, nice to discover this place... I do a lot of custom audio/subtitle replacements for my own benefit, usually Hong Kong films - would love to get into regrading!

Does anyone have the US Blu-ray of Steven Spielberg's Amistad? If yes, can you please rip the trailer from it for me? The trailer is only available on the US BD. My German BD is bare bones

Thanks in advance

The German Blu-ray from Studio Hamburg reportedly has an English Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo track.

Does anyone know if this is the original theatrical audio or a downmix from the commonly used 5.1 remix?

Thanx.

Is there an easier way to do BD screencaps than converting to mkv first? I’m used to doing that for when I want to extract a commentary but it takes quite a while when you just want to get some screencaps of a disc.

Happy to be here yall

Anyone have this release or know much about it?

Aside from being AVC compared to the old Universal releases, I hear it has a totally different and unique transfer said to be from a release print (with French credits) and having more saturated color timing (despite being kinda faded).

Just finished another project...

This release was only possible with 35mm scan of the trailer to use the title animations and two scenes not found in the final cut of the movie, as well an extension of one scene. Other then that it's pretty much a one for one recreation of the trailer. As usual the trailer credit cards and green band banner have been recreated from scratch and matched.

Special thanks to Denis-Carl Robidoux for providing the 35mm scan

Dolby 5.1 audio was taken from the trailer found on the DVD

Enjoy

Hi guys. I decided to try a project of my own after watching you work on the amazing things here. For a long time, I have the idea to collect all deleted scenes for a particular movie + use the comics that are happening during the plot of the movie, to animate them (crude but effective for me), and create an uber extended version that probably only I can appreciate...

'Started with the Star Wars Episode I, a guilty pleasure of mine.

Anyway, it's going to end up being a 5h+ long video, so I'm doing it in chunks, and then I will merge it all at the end.

It goes as expected atm, and I have done AI upscaling, editing, colour correcting and all that jazz, and exported 1st section as TIFF RGB 16bit colour sequence. Time to render it to H265 with Nvenc.

I can do yuv420 SDR 10bit 4K without any issue, cranking the bitrate around 100mbps and it's fine. It's a standard so I know I don't have to use more.

The thing is, that I am noticing a slight difference in colour and yuv444 video looks better to me (placebo or not), and my ocd is not giving me peace.

I'm trying for days now to figure out what is the bitrate that that I can use to encode this with, to avoid insane bandwith that required for playback of such file. Got down to around 70mbps video but still in some more busy places in the video a stuttering occurs that even playback from the M.2 SSD is not helping with.

So I am turning to you for advice (other than the most obvious one, "just stop insisting on 444 you crazy bastard"...). Indulge me if you can.

Did anybody try this? What is the bitrate you would go, or be OK with? How low do you think it would be OK to go for 4K SDR 10bit? I do want to kinda future-proof this project, since I'm spending so much time on it.

Hello everyone. A long time lurker here, I don't have really that much time to do amazing things you guys are doing, but I'm fascinated with the discussions here, and am just soaking up your passion. Thank you for that.

The video on the SF BD is really bad. It's heavily DNR'ed. But it has a 2.0 mix and no 5.1 mix. So, can this mean it's a genuine 2.0 mix based on the Dolby Stereo master? I'd like to remux the audio with my German BD, which isn't DNR'ed.
