Hello all, 

My friend, a budding archivist, showed me this website and I was instantly enamored with the johnny mnemonic project. So I'm here to say hello and such. Feel free to ask me for a random bird fact, something else entirely, or nothing at all. You could tell me something about you; that would be neat. 

I'm going to go back to lurking now. Thanks for reading this far.

  Apocalypse Now DCP 5.1 to UHD
Posted by: stwd4nder2 - 2021-12-08, 05:26 PM - Forum: Released - Replies (17)

[Image: Apocalypse_Now_poster.jpg]
This is the audio from the DCP synced to the US UHD. It might also sync to the Eagle 4k, if anyone verifies that I'll update the post. Thanks to The Aluminum Falcon for sending over the audio.

As far as the mix goes, it is much closer to the original BD release then the Atmos, DVD, or the "Original Audio Restoration" on the anniversary BD. It does include the correct "...find somebody" line
It is a DTS-HD file, so an offset of -21ms is required for muxing into MKV. Due to seamless branching issues, I recommend ripping the video with MakeMKV and no audio tracks selected for an un-altered video then muxing this and any other tracks with mkvtoolnix.

  The Nutcracker Prince (1990) in HD - MKV and Custom Blu-ray ISO File
Posted by: James76 - 2021-12-06, 10:58 PM - Forum: Archived projects - Replies (4)

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.

  Shaun of the Dead (2004) Open Matte v2
Posted by: Hitcher - 2021-12-06, 10:55 PM - Forum: Released - Replies (3)

Shaun lives a supremely uneventful life,
which revolves around his girlfriend,
his mother, and, above all, his local pub.
This gentle routine is threatened when the dead return to life
and make strenuous attempts to snack on ordinary Londoners.

Made from 2 sources - Starz 1080p WEB-DL and a 720p HDTV

EDIT: Found another HDTV rip so I fixed the patch up and redid the rest of the movie.

[Image: Still-2026-04-09-223119-3-16-1.png]

Also added more audio tracks:

1. DTS:X Master Audio / 7.1 / 48 kHz / 6587 kbps / 24-bit
2. Commentary by co-writer/actor Simon Pegg and director/co-writer Edgar Wright
3. Commentary by actors Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Sylan Moran, Kate Ashfield and Lucy Davis
4. Commentary by actors Bill Nighy and Penelope Wilton
5. Commentary by The Zombies

Fairly easy logo removal -

Until this happens on the HDTV at the exact time a STARZ logo appears -

Luckily the area is mostly in shadow so I used GIMP to make a mask to hide it -

Then the whole thing was aligned to the BluRay video so as to make it simple to sync any BluRay audio tracks.

The STARZ opening and titles were removed and replaced with the BluRay opening titles, and the same was done for the end credits.

The BluRay DTS track and named chapters were also added.

  Léon: The Professional 5.1

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

  Ripping Seamless Branching Discs
Posted by: stwd4nder2 - 2021-12-06, 03:36 AM - Forum: Capture and rip - Replies (11)

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.

  [Retired] Hot Fuzz (2007) Open Matte
Posted by: Hitcher - 2021-12-06, 01:45 AM - Forum: In progress - Replies (4)

A skilled London police officer, after irritating superiors with his embarrassing effectiveness,
is transferred to a village where the easygoing officers object to his fervor for regulations,
as a string of grisly murders strikes the town.

It wasn't too hard to matte the Starz logo out by de-interlacing and changing the frame rate of the HDTV but there were a couple places where I had to use some frame duplication for missing parts probably due to advert breaks -

but I've hit a roadblock where the HDTV has ad popups that coincide twice with the Starz logo -

So I'm wondering if anyone here has another version I can use to patch this up?

Thanks.

  Audio Delay - What does what
Posted by: bendermac - 2021-12-05, 05:03 PM - Forum: Audio and video editing - Replies (1)

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

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.
