Does Anyone Knows How The IMAX Transfer Looked like? Does it still has The Green tint?

sorry of my bad english

Hi,

For my first project here, and for a Christmas release, I'm going to make an MKV file and custom Blu-ray ISO file of an HD upscaled version of the 1990 animated movie, The Nutcracker Prince, sourced from the 2004 GoodTimes DVD. The original US theatrical trailer will be included as a bonus feature.

The ripped movie will be deinterlaced, pulled down from 29.97fps to 23.976fps, and resized to 640x480 with an AviSynth script and VirtualDubMod, upscaled to 1440x1080 with Real-ESRGAN, and have black bars added in Adobe Premiere Pro.

I would like to upload the finished MKV file and custom Blu-ray ISO file onto MySpleen, but I don't have an account there.

Does anyone have the DTS-HD MA 5.1 track from older Blu-ray releases of Léon / Leon Director's Cut? The 4K/remastered BD only comes with Atmos or 7.1.

Thanks

Brought this up in another thread, but figured it deserved it's own.

Is there a "best" way to rip discs that use seamless branching? There's a couple syncs I'd like to do with discs that use it, but I don't want to sync it to my rip only to have it fall out of sync with another due to MakeMKV dropping frames.

And on a side note, why is this so difficult? Appending video files seems like a relatively simple thing to do, you'd think this would be solved by now.

What the + and - actually do. Can someone say what is what

When I add a + value does the audio move forward on the video or does the audio come earlier?

I know this is actually basic, but I always confuse myself and then the values I send someone are not correct.

Example

I'm an amateur(very very amateur, only 4tb of space) archivist and seeing the effort put into restoring originals here has been fun to watch. I'm a lurker, only just recently got an account. Nice to meet you all.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to create a Blu-ray from a TV-show I recorded. There's also been an online-press-conference for that show which I'd like to include as a bonus-feature on the disc. However, the video from that download is 1080p at 25 FPS, which isn't supported in the Blu-ray specs.

These are the full video-details from MediaInfo:

The video-level also needs to be changed to 4.0 or 4.1 to match Blu-ray-specs, but that can be easily done using tsMuxeR. The rest should be ok, except for the progressive/interlaced-thing.

I know that there's a setting when encoding the video with x264 which is called "fake-interlaced". It's used to make a progressive encode, but adding an interlaced-flag to the video, so it is Blu-ray-compatible. Is there any way to add such a flag to this video, or is the only way to get it Blu-ray-compliant a re-encode?

I already tried changing the header-information in the MKV of the original file and MediaInfo shows that file as interlaced afterwards, but unfortunately tsMuxeR still recognizes it as progressive and muxes it as 1080p again.

Any idea how I can solve that issue without re-encoding the video or is it impossible and an encode can't be avoided?
