After about 8 months of work, I’ve completed my restoration of Invasion America using the best source material available to me.

Watch here:
https://archive.org/details/invasion-ame...al-mission

This release presents the series in its original six-part uncut broadcast format, as it aired in June 1998, rather than the later 13-episode version. Episodes 1–5 run approximately 43 minutes each, while Episode 6 runs about 66 minutes.

For this project, I used my own VHS recordings from the original 1998 broadcast along with production master VHS tapes containing the complete six-part series.

The restoration involved extensive manual work, including:

* Video cleanup and enhancement
* Manual frame repairs and corrections
* Color, brightness, and contrast correction in DaVinci Resolve
* Replacing damaged frames with better frames from alternate sources when necessary
* AI-assisted upscaling with Topaz Video AI
* Audio restoration and synchronization using Audacity and iZotope RX 11
* Final editing and mastering in Final Cut Pro
* Recreated end credits based on the original master tapes
* Added subtitles to every episode
* Added chapter numbering to better reflect the six-part story structure

The recreated credits preserve the original names, layout, and presentation while providing cleaner text than the deteriorated titles on the source tapes.

Preservation note:
No changes were made to the story, performances, or original content. My goal was simply to preserve the original presentation of the series while improving the video and audio quality as much as possible.

Source: Production master VHS tapes + original 1998 broadcast VHS recordings

Final presentation: 1080p HD restoration

Wassup?

Enchanted. Crippled cinephile lookin to take my appreciation and love of movies to the next level. I stumbled on this site lookin for restored films and it's right up my alley. Thanks for havin me!

Hi all, I'm not really great at these. name is Ricky. nice to meet you all fellow film lovers!

Hey, is there a way one can replicate Dolby A and/or Dolby SR noise reduction on optical audio from 35mm scans via software? Many of them are left as-is on fanmade film transfers (which I'm fine with that) since I don't think the vast majority of the scanners can do noise reduction on the said audio tracks. Besides, I REALLY don't have the funds to get a projector and a Dolby audio track reader just to rip audio.

Hiya folks! Hope all is well. Names Gunier J. Kintgen, & I won't lie, I only signed up to this website to try & download this one restoration. This one, of the original 1965 cut of "A Charlie Brown Christmas". (https://fanrestore.com/thread-6881.html) I can't send him a DM, shows me an error message when I try, so my theory is that I need to write an introduction post before I get that privilege. Hope I'm right!

Hey movie fans,

I’m looking for the American DVD release of F.I.S.T. (1978) starring Sly Stallone. This US DVD contains English Closed Captions (SDH), which can be accessed using a suitable decoder.

All European DVD releases are based on the shorter European version. The US version, however, is approximately 15 minutes longer.

In addition to the Closed Captions, the US DVD also contains standard English subtitles, which can be selected directly from the DVD menu. I want cc only but not standard subs from DVD menu.

Does anyone here own the US DVD? If so, I would really appreciate it if someone could provide me with an ISO file or the complete DVD structure.

Would anyone be able to share it with me?

Thanks in advance!

Hi
Small project. The old Sony bluray had LPCM 5.1 which I liked quite a bit more than the Arrow DTS track. But Sony was only theatrical so spliced them together to make a directors cut with more pleasing audio.

Hey, guys.

Since I just learned to deal with multichannel editing in Resolve, I just started this project. 

Option 1: use the mono or Chace fake stereo mix for the front stage, meaning Left + Center + Right. Use TFM audio tool to generate fake surround channels for the Left side surround + Right side surround. Use the actual surround channels from the official 5.1 remix (editing out the most egregious modern sounds that don't match the front stage) and merge them on the Left and Right back surround so that I obtain a monophonic surround as would have been in 1984. Use the LFE from the Blu-ray 5.1.



Option 2: the same as option 1 except keeping the real Blu-ray surround channels in stereo, so that I end up transcoding my 7.1 project in PCM 2.0/FLAC 2.0 or 2.1 maybe, so that the true rear stereo gets merged with the front stage, giving the whole thing a sense of stereo, and the AV Receiver will then make it Dolby Surround.

Option 3: the same thing as options 1 and 2, except using Brad Fiedel's score album on the front stereo and use the mono on the Center only. That way, we would have a better stereo feel in the front stage. Now here's the catch: I only have that score in MP3 @ 128 kbps. So If anybody can chime in to provide the score in lossless, that would be better. Of course, I suppose the score is fitting for a 24 fps film print, not for a 23.976 fps Blu-ray cadence and would need to be reencoded losslessly to match a 23.976 cadence.

For now I'm doing it with the French dub of the Chace fake stereo, but TFM, when doing its own fake spacializing thing, created a disagreeable echo on the front stage, so I think I'll change that with the pure mono on the whole front stage (L+C+R) for option 1.

@Stamper, which French mono track is the best technically and the best sync to the 2012 remastered Blu-ray with or without MGM opening logo? I already know for the English track it's the 1991 Laserdisc.

Is there any fan edits or projects that contain the Chinese exclusive footage of this version of the movie? Including the end credits all with English subtitles?
