  DTS-HD MA 21ms delay when muxed on MKV
Posted by: spoRv - 2021-10-21, 10:18 AM - Forum: General technical discussions - Replies (14)

I need some clarification about this.

So, let's say I have a M2TS file with a DTS-HD MA - let's assume it's in sync - and other audio tracks.
If I mux the audio and video streams into a MKV file, the DTS-HD MA would have a delay of 21ms - adding 21ms of silence in the beginning.

Now, if I mux back the streams into another M2TS file, would be the DTS-HD MA in sync again, or still retaining the 21ms delay?
And if I mux in another MKV, the delay would still be 21ms, or adds up and be 42ms?!?

  The Dark Side of Oz - HD 5.1
Posted by: stwd4nder2 - 2021-10-20, 09:44 PM - Forum: Released - Replies (4)

Since the dawn of home video people have been watching The Wizard of Oz while listening to Dark Side of the Moon. To make it a more cinematic experience I've taken the the 5.1 mix of the album and synced it to the blu-ray video.
This project starts with the film audio, fades into the album going through it about 2 and half times. I added a fade-out at the end, otherwise it just ends in the middle of a song.
I have it synced to the 70th Anniversary BD (with offset of -21ms as it's encoded in DTS-HDMA) as that's the only version I have. It might sync to other versions, and if I get a hold of any other versions I'll update this post with the required offsets.

PM for link.

Information Apple Logic Pro can now create Dolby Atmos mixes at no extra costs
Posted by: bendermac - 2021-10-20, 04:11 PM - Forum: Everything else... - Replies (8)

On Monday Apple dropped Logic Pro 10.7 and it included a major feature: Create Dolby Atmos mixes.

For pros and hobbiest this is huge, as the feature comes at no extra costs. If you know how to mix a 5.1 mix, then moving to Dolby Atmos wont be hard. You can mix up to 7.1.4. Though I couldn't find an option to export to Dolby TrueHD. At this point you export to something that works with Apple Music and probably Apple TV. But it might be also a lossless version that you need the official Dolby Encoder for. Only time will tell if you can go full fledged movie mixes in Dolby Atmos. I don't see a reason why you shouldn't Wink

Regardless, this is pretty awesome news Smile

  35mm VS 70mm Mixes (And where to find them?)
Posted by: LucasGodzilla - 2021-10-19, 09:38 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (39)

(2021-10-12, 12:48 PM)spoRv Wrote: A "35mm Dolby Surround Vs 70mm 6-track" debate should worth its own thread... who will start it? Wink

I decided to be the one to take the step forward with this since I’ve been poking around and trying to track down as many different 70mm mixes available on home media and thought this thread would be a good place to help keep track of that as well as serve as a place where people can talk about the differences between these mixes.

Apologies on my behalf in advance if I make some stupid assumption.

From what I’ve been able to garner so far as a general rule of thumb, THX laserdiscs appear to be a consistent go-to for finding original 6-track 70mm mixes on home media? It appears to be the case for both the first two Alien movies as well as Top Gun for example.

I do want to take this opportunity though to ask if whether or not certain movies ever had their 70mm mixes ever got released over their 35mm counterparts (which are prevalently found for any movie with nearly any laserdisc release it seems).

Something like The Goonies for example.
https://www.in70mm.com/library/engagemen.../index.htm Wrote:[Image: goonies_02.jpg]
The audio was Six-Track Dolby Stereo (“A” encoded “baby boom” format).
From everything I’ve seen on the LDDB, all the releases appeared to be in stereo so there’s no real easy way to tell if any of them stemmed from the 6-track spread mix from what I could tell? I’m operating off of the assumption the surround tracks on latter releases are remixes atm.

I also wonder about the 70mm for Big Trouble In Little China, especially given I am currently working on the regrade project.
https://www.in70mm.com/library/engagemen.../index.htm Wrote:[Image: little_china.jpg]
The audio was Six-Track Dolby Stereo (“A” encoded).
It was determined the stereo track for the Fox master sounded the closest to the Dolby-decoded optical but has anyone properly determined whether or not the 70mm mix is the 5.1 surround track on the BDs or perhaps some older laserdisc? It was briefly mentioned on the older quick regrade project by @PDB but there was no certainty on the matter it seems.

Anyone have any thoughts on the matter of that movie or any other movie that got a 70mm blow-up for that matter?

  Site does make it clear where to post this but this guy is working on fixing errors

Typo the heading should say doesn’t make it clear. With 4k versions of classics and I don’t know how to talk to him about his ghostbusters fix. because there’s a new uhd coming out using a 100gb disc instead the original 66gb and it’s using Dolby vision instead of regular hdr and it includes the original theatrical audio. this his YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqM4y8-IkNE&t=2s

  Question about firmware...
Posted by: Bo Lero - 2021-10-19, 12:37 AM - Forum: General technical discussions - Replies (5)

I have the latest 1.21 firmware for Pioneer BDP-LX54 blu-ray player. As i pointed out before: i am not very much satisfied with the picture and sound quality. Do you think it's a good idea to install some of the previous firmwares? Do you think the quality will improve ? By the way, give me your thoughts for what is the best stuff for video and audio.

  Cinema DTS sources to sync
Posted by: Turisu - 2021-10-18, 09:45 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (7)

So I've released a few Cinema DTS to UHD syncs and the feedback to what I've put out so far has been very positive. Unfortunately I don't have any more source files for movies that I'd like to sync.

If anybody has any of the following raw Cinema DTS tracks and would like to see them synced then please let me know.

Mortal Kombat
Congo
Casino Royale
Arthur Christmas
In The Mouth Of Madness


Rest assured that anything shared will be put to good use and the resulting projects shared with contributing members.


Much appreciated. Smile

  Hello
Posted by: CloakedDragon97 - 2021-10-17, 08:46 PM - Forum: Presentation - Replies (1)

Hello. Although I've been a member for a few months and have made a few posts, I have never made a proper introduction. I'm CloakedDragon97 and like many people, I joined OriginalTrilogy.com before joining this site. I initially joined for the reason most other people did. I wanted an HD version of the original unaltered Star Wars trilogy. I eventually branched out to other projects though. There I became familiar with Andrea's work and that inspired me to make a few projects of my own. Then a few months later I joined this site due to the amount of projects exclusive to here. I post significantly less on here but I'm still an active member. I'm glad to be a part of this site.

  The Abyss (1989) - Theatrical Trailer D & E Restoration | UPDATE
Posted by: bendermac - 2021-10-17, 05:10 PM - Forum: Released - Replies (5)

Trailer D

I made an updated version with the following changes to Trailer D

  • MPAA Green Card replaced with a newly created one
  • MPAA Green Card scope version replaced with proper 4:3 version as shown in the scope version of 35mm print
  • Opening Documentary Video Sequence replaced with a higher quality version***
  • added two missing shots in the theatrical cut that are included in the extended cut*
  • title animation replaced with a higher quality version***
  • added a newly created end credit card
  • added 35mm fine grain layer on top of the video
  • added LD PCM of the trailer**

*** FT Depot

I made another re-edit, which is 100% frame accurate, except for two missing shots (Bud is in pain while falling down the abyss) in the theatrical cut. I currently don't have the extended version in HD and those two shots might be in there. The titles screen is cropped due to the movie being in it's original format and the source of the trailer is open matte.
I know there is an open matte version of the movie floating around, but I couldn't get it yet. I may update the trailer if I get a proper movie file.

Anyway... I hope you'll enjoy it regardless Smile



Trailer E

While I still had all the assets on my computer, I thought why not try to restore Trailer E, aka "Review Trailer", to it's full glory and here it is  Big Grin

Enjoy Smile
