*edit* I'm retarded and mixed up the LG logo with the one used in the later Saw movies. I'll be on the lookout for that logo in 4k HDR but until then this is project is on hiatus

The UHD of Saw is overall very good, but annoyingly it uses the newer Lionsgate logo instead of the older one that was used theatrically and on other releases. If you're familiar with the old logo, and the Saw films, you'll know that the old logo is much more thematically appropriate to open the film.

Well I recently picked up the UHD of The Cabin in the Woods and noticed it had the original logo, in Dolby Vision, with an Atmos track making it perfect for replacing the one in Saw. So here's an easy guide for doing so while keeping the DV date and the Atmos track intact.

Step 1
Download the logo here
I already did the hard part of trimming the logo out of the movie and syncing up the commentary tracks. The Producers commentary doesn't start until the Twisted Pictures logo so I just downmixed the Atmos for that. The James Wan commentary plays over the opening logo, so that needed an offset to play properly.

Step 2
Trim out the old logo from the Saw UHD.
Add your UHD to mkvtoolnix-gui, then under output>split mode choose "by parts based off timestamps". Then under parts put 00:00:20.646-01:42:52.000. Multiplex into a new file.

Step 3
Add the SawOP.mkv to mkvtoolnix-gui. Then right click on it and select "append files" and select the file you made in step 2. If keeping the commentary tracks make sure they're in the correct order.

Step 4
multiplex and enjoy!


I'm not familiar with the mkvtoolnix cli, but there's probably a way to do all this in a single line script. If I ever bother learning it or someone who knows it more wants to do it I'll update this post. 
Now if I can just get a hold of the Cinema DTS discs for this we can have a definitive UHD release 

Just wanted to get a feel for what the preferred approach would be on this. I've got a project in the works that's combining 1:78:1 HD blu ray footage with 4:3 additional TV footage. Keeping toying with the best way to approach it. The running time would be around 4 hours, 2 hours of 1:78:1 and 2 hours of 4:3.

Option 1 would be having a shifting aspect ratio throughout. That would preserve as much of the picture as possible, but it's going to be quite jarring given there is so much 4:3 footage. 

Option 2 would be cropping the 1:78:1 footage so it's the same aspect ratio as the 4:3, that way there is a consistent aspect ratio throughout.

Of course Option 3 would be to do both Option 1 and Option 2 - so people have the choice - but it's more work.

Thoughts?

whats a good, short+sweet fast program to overlay/merge 2 (or more) vids together, like a melding, interwoven, combining both images into 1 (not append or stack!). I know Premiere can do it, but I have to setup a whole new project just to do that, or edit a timeline, its a bit much. Any other programs to do it, respect the colorspaces, not degrade the video quality, fast?

Hi, my name is Milos, I am from Serbia. I'm a huge fan of classic science fiction and horror, and very happy to be here. Cheers.

Hi there. I got curious today and somehow stumbled across this site from a random Google search and I found some great looking edits here. Hope no one minds if I look around?

So I got the 2 disc Twister release from Turbine Media in the collection

Disc one is the film with Dolby Atmos (which folds down to Dolby TrueHD 7.1) and a DTS 2.0 mix

Disc two contains the Auro 3D mix which interestingly enough, has a DTS-MA 5.1 mix as its core

So I'm just wondering if that Auro 3D core is the theatrical mix? Or if anyone has had the time to compare the mixes available for Twister?

Just after a quick A/B of the two discs I have, I found the bass to be a bit punchier on the Auro 3D core mix

I collect different versions of films and do amateur audiovisual projects.

The new UHD release of Dragonslayer only has Dolby Atom audio. Does anyone know if the 5.1 audio on the DVD is based on the Vistasonic audio from 35mm release or the 6-Track from 70mm release?

I would like to get a copy of the 1999 DVD of A Clockwork Orange, as either part of an upscale project or regrade of the 4K. I'm also looking for the 1999 DVDs of the other Kubrick films. Thanks.
