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.

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.

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.

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**

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.

Does anyone have Seven Brides for Seven Brothers LD?

I’m looking for the original 4.0 audio track (Cinemascope)

https://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/00280/650...n-Brothers

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.

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.
