Hi everyone, I've been pursuing a passion project of putting contemporary movies onto VHS tapes, and Open Matte/IMAX restorations are much better for pan-and-scan than letterboxed home video releases. Looking forward to taking part in this cool community!

Several years ago (a LIFETIME ago) I was looking into doing a release of Starchaser The Legend of Orin in true 3D. Life got "complicated". Now, after a new house, a boat explosion, an extended burn unit stay and a few surgical procedures later, I am finally back to the project. For sources I have a scan of a 35mm release print with over/under 3D (left eye top, right eye bottom), commercially released flat blu-ray (left eye), stereo track from the scan, mono track from the blu-ray and stereo track from the laserdisc. I have done some work with the scan only and have successfully created SBS 3D tests. The scan has a bit of gate weave at start of each reel (five reels in total) and I'm having no luck remedying that. Being able to complete a project using just the scan will be very doable by me. However, ultimately I would like to use the blu-ray for the left eye and the bottom image from the scan for the right eye. The scan would benefit greatly from someone with more experience in stabilization and film cleanup (scratches and dirt removal, etc). Any takers, please message me. I am forging ahead on my limited ability but really want to get this done. I know 3D is not widely used these days outside of projector based home theater rooms, which I have, but if there is any interest from anyone let me know. Thanks. Sorry for the decade long delay.

Happy to join the community
Looking forward to seeing whats going on in the forums for restoration projects on some classic films
And also, I'm looking forward to participating and providing some help.
Cheers 

Just a fan of fan restorations, I just saw T2 judgement day in Imax 70MM .

Hello everyone!

I'm new to this amazing site. 
Big fan oldschool movie)

Been a minute since my last sync drop but I'm back with another set of syncs for a troubled film. All of these tracks are synced to the "Pre-AI" WEB-DLs from places like Disney+ and Hulu. Although since the WEBs and UHD share the same framecount you can mux them into that if you want to for whatever reason.

1. Original Theatrical DTS Mix -
This was taken from the 35mm scan and not the original CD-ROMs so it has been upsampled to 48kHz. This mix had the best balance of dynamics and loudness out of the ones I synced even though I mostly just synced it for 100% theatrical accuracy. Available in FLAC 5.1 16-bit 48kHz

2. D-Theater DTS Mix -
This was taken directly from the tape with the only thing done to it being patching to 24-bit for compatibility. I chose to sync this as I had read on this forum that the DTS Laserdisc and first US DVD releases used a bit-for-bit copy of the same master used for the Theatrical DTS mix and that the D-Theater tape shared this track, I didn't have access to the DTS Laserdisc so this was my best bet. In my own analysis I found that the mix is indeed very similar but every so slightly more compressed in dynamics and a harder high frequency cut-off, So I believe this mix is more representative of the studio master as opposed to the released CD-ROMs. Available in FLAC 5.1 24-bit 48kHz

3. AC-3 Laserdisc
Another one synced out of superstition. I had read this mix was slightly different and mixed for home system and that did turn out to be true. What I was suprised by however is just how dynamic this track ended up being. From my analysis it seemed to be track least affected by dynamic range compression which is suprising for a home theater mix. Available in FLAC 5.1 16-bit 48kHz (I may do a non-transcoded version in the future)

4. Laserdisc PCM / Dolby Surround -
Since I synced all my audio in NLE (Sony Vegas) this track was as easy as replacing the 5.1 track with the 2.0 track from the same capture, said capture was bit-perfect. Figured I'd do since it required zero effort and I always like throwing a bone to 2-channel setups. Available in FLAC 2.0 16-bit 44.1kHz

P.S: synced all of these in course of 3 hours in one night, I'm a machine!

Hey, guys.

Unlike Avatar 2 3D, which was also seperated onto 2 discs, Avatar 3 3D doesn't do the disc switching at a clear cut. It was easy for Avatar 2 3D to cut the extra black frames at the end of disc 1 and at the beginning of disc 2, to glue both parts together and remux the Atmos track along with it. But with Avatar 3 3D, disc 2 starts with a fade-in from black and when we glue the 2 parts as is, there are 72 extra frames at the junction. How do I remove those, but not in MKVToolNix? I already tried that, both at the end of disc 1 and at the beginning of disc 2, but it doesn't work as there doesn't seem to be a perfect spot for a keyframe to make the cut during the black. What could be done, then? And with what software? A software that can deal with 3D on top of that! Any ideas?

I arrived here investigating about LOTR edited films
