Here are some edit notes from this project...

Greetings fellow fan editors and fan edit aficionados...

I go by the name of RedSun61524 and I've been an admirer of fan edits since The Phantom Edit way back when. Over the years I've found one fan edit site after another and followed everything I could, learning to do fan edits myself along the way with the help of the vast knowledge of fellow fan editors. I've also learned quite a bit about content, intent, and how things flow and don't flow. I'm very appreciate for everything that's done on this and other fan edit websites. The vast amount of fan edits out there have enriched my life and provided a great deal of entertainment. I'm looking forward to being a part of this community. 

Best regards,

I'm looking for information on some of the DCP rips that are out there, specifically around where they came from and how they were ripped.

The only ones that I've seen out in the wild are Apocalypse Now (which looks to be a legit DCP) and Hateful 8 (which seems to be debatable on weather it's from a DCP or not). If there's any others please let me know. Were these releases from a DCP sent to theaters, that was somehow intercepted and decrypted? Or was it just someone involved in encoding the DCP that leaked it before it was encrypted. Cracking AES is no easy task, I'd imagine if it was figured out that would be public information by now.

On a related note, if it was possible to rip a DCP, would it be possible to rip the audio in a way that preserves the Atmos data? From what I understand the home and cinema versions of Atmos are different codecs, but the object data is compatible with both.

I'd love to know if anyone has any more info on this. And if there's any info you'd like to share that isn't public for whatever reason feel free to PM me.

Per a previous conversation, its seems that the French DVD of HB has some unique, possibly theatrically accurate colors. So I converted the PAL disc to 23.976 ran it through some filters and then upscaled that DVD for a possible future project.

For audio, I just grabbed audio and subs from the Criterion DVD.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (Project CRT #8 v1.0)

Part of the Project CRT, for more background read here:

To quickly recap, many late 90's/early 2000s HD, DVD and even LD masters have a significant red/magenta push on modern flat panels. It is assumed that this is caused by them being mastered on older CRT monitors which had a green and blue push. This project attempts to fix many of those old masters by making them look how the color technician would see them on a CRT master monitor. Not necessarily more theatrically accurate but hopefully closer to what the colorist wanted and hopefully more pleasing to the eye.

So this is the Arrow copy of Banzai corrected to look how it does on my Sony BVM monitor. From the original BD I only had the PCM 2.0 Dolby Surround.

I need to change a 192 kbps Dolby Digital 2.0 track to 448 kbps DD 5.1. I looked around for a way to do that a while back, but couldn't find a good program.

It's for my Aeon Flux DVDs. When ripped, the opening and endings (credits) are separate files. I know how to link them so that the separate files play together during playback. In MKVMerge, you go to Output > Precious/Next Segment UID. The problem is the 5.1 tracks. The OP and ED are only in stereo. When I link them, my receiver automatically switches from stereo to 5.1 during playback, meaning when the OP ends and the episode begins. But it doesn't work if I'm upmixing the DD with Dolby Surround. The sound just becomes silent after the switch. The 5.1 also incorrectly shows as 192 kbps stereo unless I go into Properties, because my media player is going off what the first of the linked files shows, which doesn't matter but bugs me anyway.

This is an old project. I finished this 11 years ago, but never posted the HD version of. The reason is the title animation at the end of the trailer. I never found a good version that can be used for this project. But maybe we come across another 35mm print that's in better shape and the sequence can used from it.
I usually create a new trailer credits card. But I didn't do it here. Having very clean credits on a crappy title wouldn't match well or I was just lazy do sit down and create a new one at this time. Pick the excuse you like most  

Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy it regardless

There is a HD version of the trailer available and it's actually Okay for what it is. However Sony decided to change the trailer credits with updated logos and copyright info. This can't be considered "Original Trailer" anymore
So I made a re-edit using the Blu-ray. Credits & Title are done from scratch and matched. To get the proper trailer credits look, I've used the trailer found on DVD.

Enjoy

Hello.
I've encountered a problem, as the thread title says, and I don't know what to do...
First of all, I have this BD-Rom
https://www.ebay.com/itm/264849119450.

I was able to burn mkv films in 25GB BD-R discs, just fine. (about 10 of them).
Now, I'm trying to burn bigger mkv files in 50GB discs and it fails. (I have purchased Verbatim BD-Rs)
I've used both Nero and ImgBurn.
The results:

Nero - 6x speed - burn unsuccessful
Nero - 4x speed - burn successful, data verification failed (of course the movie wouldn't play)
ImgBurn - 2x speed - burn successful, data verification failed

Does anyone have any suggestions?
I really would need the hard disc space, by burning these large mkv files.
(I want to burn other data too, but I haven't tried)

I ripped the 2.0 Dolby Digital track from the region 1 special edition DVD if anyone is interested in syncing it up to the UHD.
