  Cinema DTS sources to sync
Posted by: Turisu - 2021-10-18, 09:45 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (9)

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. 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**

Source provided by
*maksnew
**williarob
*** 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

  Police Story IV First Strike HDTV fix/reconstruction
Posted by: Serums - 2021-10-14, 07:29 AM - Forum: In progress - Replies (58)

Tagged this one as 'help', as it's in the very early stages and I'm very new to software I'll probably have to use.

First, thanks to gameboy and maksnew for making me aware of this.

This one is essentially The Film Whisperer's project, but as he's working on other projects concurrently I'd like to help with as much of it (or at least roadmap it) as I can.

The goal here is to use the Chinese HDTV capture (screens below) WEB-DL and the upscaled Towa DVD (screens coming soon) to reconstruct the HK version with as much picture information as possible. The blu-rays available of the international version are slightly cropped, so might not be as useful for the project.

The Chinese HDTV capture has its drawbacks, namely:

  • Embedded subtitles and sidetitles (including an overlay over the title card)
  • Broadcast channel logo
  • Some damaged frames
  • Censorship in one scene
  • The ending credits aren't complete, so we'd miss some of the outtakes.

The Film Whisperer did a reconstruction using the blu-ray and Towa DVD. This would hopefully improve on his initial work. 

We do have access to the HK and Japanese laserdiscs, so we're covered for the original audio track.

Screencaps:

As you can see, there's a lot that would need to be worked on. Hopefully the upscaled Towa DVD can be used to fill in the gaps/cover as needed. I'd like to hear opinions though. Would you think it's worthwhile to attempt?

  Batman: The Animated Series (1992) select DVD tracks synced to BD
Posted by: Scavenger - 2021-10-12, 07:37 PM - Forum: Released - Replies (20)

Formats: English AC-3 2.0ch 48kHz 192 kbps / FLAC 2.0ch 48kHz 24-bit
Source: R1 DVD English AC-3 2.0ch 192 kbps

I was about to start a Batman TAS Blu-ray rewatch, but then I remembered that there were audio noise reduction problems in the following episodes:
•S01E31 - The Cape and Cowl Conspiracy
•S02E04 - Avatar
•S02E05 - House & Garden
•S02E07 - Harlequinade

Particularly 'The Cape and Cowl Conspiracy' suffers strongly from that unmistakable "underwater" sound. The DVD tracks do not suffer from excessive noise reduction.

I synced the R1 DVD tracks of the four episodes to the BD. AviSynth (TIVTC) & VirtualDub2 was used for visual aid. The AC-3 version was synced without transcoding by inserting silent AC-3 frames, but it's less precisely timed than the FLAC version because of the 32ms frame duration. DialNorm was removed via eac3to.

  Best mix for Aliens (1986)?
Posted by: LucasGodzilla - 2021-10-12, 09:58 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (28)

It sort of occurred to me recently that despite the many discussions out there for the audio mixes on the first Alien movie and how people have determined the many oddities surrounding the final Dolby mix and the Sensurround mix and whatnot, but has anyone ever really dissected the mixes for Aliens?

I've always heard a lot about the 6-track 70mm mix for Aliens being really powerful (making heavy use of its Baby Boom track)...

https://ifi.ie/70mm-jargon-buster/ Wrote:Based on our experience with the Aliens 70mm print (playing on July 21st) when it ran at the IFI some years ago, the film will have a 6 channel Mag Track soundtrack, as the print was manufactured at the time of the movie’s release in 1986, many years before digital came along.  As this is James Cameron we are talking about, the Aliens sound mix is particularly excellent and famous for its aggressiveness and all round use of bass – which anybody who saw it here in 2011 will remember!  We have since installed a new subwoofer, so…good luck everybody!  As of writing we don’t have the print in house yet, so we can’t confirm it’s the exact same one from our previous shows or attest to its condition (either way it will be from 1986 or around that period).  Once its arrived and has been tested we can fill you in a lot more.

... but I never seemed to figure out if that has ever been released on home media anywhere, even on some old laserdisc. Was that what you got in some blu-rays or DVDs coincidentally (like how the CDS mix ended up being available for Terminator 2) or was it something that never got released or was perhaps used in some old laserdisc release that has or hasn't been capped yet?

This is not an urgent question or anything, but I was at least curious and perhaps thought answering this now for posterity may be useful for whenever the 4K UHD rolls out or something (perhaps even do a regrade when that time comes).
