Hi all!
I've been pretty active on the OT forums and somehow only recently stumbled across this site. Looking forward to checking out all the restorations on here (especially a lot of the LD stuff Tongue )

  immersive video
Posted by: spoRv - 2021-07-13, 08:48 AM - Forum: Movies, TV shows and other - Replies (2)

There is immersive audio: Auro 3D, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X.

But what technology could be defined "immersive video" (related to movies)?

I thing (guess?) the best option nowaday is ScreenX (as well as Barco Escape, but it's dead, sadly); a three-screen presentation - central, left and right walls (there is also an option of a cealing screen).

Unfortunately I had not the chance to see a movie in ScreenX, but watching their trailer, it seems an interesting way to put the viewer in the center (literally) of action!

Technically, it could be improved - the seams are still too visible, sometimes badly seamed, the side screens often does not have matching color/brightness of the main one, or they just use a mirror or distorted copy of the main screen.

But, apart these problems, the idea works IMHO.

What do you think?

  1984 DVD Audio
Posted by: alexp2000 - 2021-07-12, 11:55 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (1)

Have decided to go through my Criterion Blu-rays and see which ones suffer from noise-reduction (Badlands, which I'm syncing the LD for, is definitely one).

Just wondering if anyone has the R1 DVD of 1984 they could share please? The Criterion Blu-ray has both versions but while the Eurthymics version is excellent, the Muldowney audio is very muffled).

  [Cancelled] The Crow (LD-1st gen DVD Regrade)
Posted by: PDB - 2021-07-12, 07:29 PM - Forum: In progress - Replies (84)

The Crow (LD-1st gen DVD Regrade)

This is a regrade to the older laserdisc video master as seen in the first generation DVD. The colors vary a great deal between the DVD and the US BD but the overall darkness of the DVD is why I found this regrade interesting.

The video regrading was done via automatic scripting matching the US BD video to the older DVD master. Once that was complete I modified the black level and shadows to more conform with the DVD's levels. Right now I am going through the entire project shot by shot and fixing any shot/scene the strayed too far from the DVD. The video will be synced to the US BD.

After that I tried to add every soundtrack I had access to. I was looking for the Cinema DTS for this but was unable to find it via the regular sources. In fact its a bit of a mystery to me. IMDB and the end credits list the movie as DTS/DS which makes sense for Dimension productions at the time but all print 35mm examples I have seen show the film as DD. So I'm not sure there are DTS disc around. Regardless, I will add the LD's PCM via BusterD. I would like the LD's DTS or DD but that seems unlikely. Hopefully, the 1st gen DVD's DD 5.1 is close to the LD's DD 5.1. I also will add the CE's DVD tracks and the BD track.

Video:
The US scan of the film regraded to the laserdisc/1st gen DVD.

Audio:
1. PCM 2.0 Dolby Surround (from the Widescreen laserdisc)
2. Dolby Digital 5.1 (from the non-anamorphic DVD)
3. Dolby Digital 5.1 (from the CE DVD)
4. DTS 5.1 (from the CE DVD)
5. DTS-HD MA 5.1 (from the US BD)

Sync:
US BD with subs

  Sega cd the adventures of Batman and Robin cutscenes
Posted by: jedimasterplo - 2021-07-11, 03:36 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - No Replies

Sega cd the adventures of Batman and Robin cutscenes I found one of the producers of the game on LinkedIn he’s sadly not on social media. so that’s the only place Anyone can ask him if a high quality version of the footage still exists somewhere. can someone who has a LinkedIn ask him so if the cutscenes still exist can look just as good as the hd version of the series.

  I want to change AR, do I have to re-encode? If so, how can I keep original settings?
Posted by: Onti - 2021-07-10, 05:43 PM - Forum: Converting, encoding, authoring - Replies (3)

Let’s say I have one m2ts file (AR 1.78:1) and all I want to do is change the AR to 1.85:1 (black bars on the top and bottom 22px each). Is there any software that allows me to do this without re-encoding? I suppose not.

Therefore, I want to see all the video properties of the m2ts file. What software can I use to view all the original parameters? I mean, all the parameters I must keep to obtain a new m2ts file identical to the original file.

What software can I use to preserve all of them? I normally use Adobe Premiere.

  SHAPESHIFTER (the thing 1982/2011 edit)
Posted by: MANIAC - 2021-07-10, 08:27 AM - Forum: Released - Replies (3)

Fanedit of The Thing (1982) and the prequel The Thing (2011) It runs 158 minutes and I used additional music by Carpenter, Alan Howarth, and music segments of Richard Bodgers. Tracks are used of Prince of Darkness, Christine, and Mouth of Madness. This is no re-cut of the Wraith edit, the story goes chronologic in my version and I trimmed some fake (bull)shit in the 2011 version. DTS 7.1 sound.  Edit is online now on my site.

  Last year in Marienbad (1961)-Criterion Mono synced to Studiocanal Remastered Bluray
Posted by: freedomland - 2021-07-09, 08:29 PM - Forum: Released - No Replies

Last year in Marienbad (1961)-Criterion Mono Bluray synced to Studiocanal remastered Bluray. 

I took the unrestored version. Information see blah-ray.blog:

https://blah-ray.blogspot.com/search/lab...%281961%29

This track sounds much much better to me than the Studiocanal, the unrestored version has lots of noise, crackle and detail.  

For syncing I copied the sound of the Studiocanal logo entrance to the Criterion, on the other hand erased the Studiocanal logo in the Criterion track. Here and there aligned a little. Interesting work behind this syncing for sure. I watched it yesterday and havent had any troubles. 

Track is saved in 24bit PCM 48000Hz mono 1152kbps (WAV)

Edit: I changed the Thread name, it is not the 4k Bluray(I dont know of any yet) but the normal Bluray which has a new transfer of the picture.
