What Other People Are Saying About Hong Kong Rescue:

Hello Fanres community. I'm a long time faneditor that primarily hangs out over at fanedit.org. I recently was told about this community by oojason over at OT.com. Shame on me for never knowing about this place   As an obsessives fan of all things fanediting I wanted to come see all the amazing thins you do here and hopefully pick up on some new skills. Thanks for having me!

Hi! I've been lurking this forum for a while and decided it was finally time to join. This isn't my first post, but I think it's better to make an introduction late than never. 

I mostly do stuff with audio restoration. One of my favourite things to do is to make transfers of records and cassette tapes and try to get them as clean sounding as possible, especially if it's an album which only has a brickwalled release or no lossless release at all.

I have a YouTube channel where I post projects and just general things I find, but I'm not sure if I can link it because of the rule "No direct links to projects involving commercially available releases are allowed." but I use the same name there as I do here.

I'm glad to be here and a user of the forum!

Is it possible? I was thinking, since it sits on top of Dolby True HD 7.1 as metadata, then maybe it is possible to extract 8 lossless wav files (7.1), edit it, and then combine them back together again - and it will still be an Atmos. Or am I getting this totally wrong?

Hi All,

I'm working on a project of the above. I've been collecting together various audio sources but I need to apply a delay to most of them. The problem is one of them is True HD, a Cantonese 7.1 track from the blu ray, and I'm not aware that it's possible to add a delay to this type of audio file? 

If not I guess I have two options

• Demux it to wav, add the delay, then encode as a DTS HD file
  
• Leave it off altogether. I already have 5.1 and 2.0 Cantonese tracks, so I wonder what value the 7.1 track will add. For the video CMS Media used an upscale instead of a HD Scan so I wouldn't put it past them to have done a lax job on the audio as well.
  

Hello! I'm not sure where to post about this or where to begin, so I am sorry if this is the wrong topic for this thread.

I've been googling for solutions for these many problems for about half a day, until I found this forum. I've been reading some of the posts and I think this is a good place to ask for some help.
I have an HDTV broadcast 'rip', a rip from my DVD, and a SRT file that syncs to the HDTV version of a movie that as far as I am aware has no blu-ray release (Psy, 1992) meaning the HDTV rip is the only HD version in existence, along with the HD version having better colour. There are some problems with this rip including

-Low bitrate
-TV logos
-Stereo sound (this not THAT big of an issue)
-Both the DVD and HDTV versions are 25fps with duplicated frames
(Screenshot included)


The DVD also has some problems like crushed blacks and poor film scanning/mastering, but it has surround sound audio, and no logos.
(Screenshot included)


I saw this post which seems to be exactly what I am trying to do with the logos, but there's not much info on how to do it.

What I am hoping to do is combine the two sources into one best source while also doing some processing on the HD source to remove some of the blockiness. One of the biggest problems is that the two sources are HORRIBLY out of sync (every shot change throws any correction attempt out the window too)  I am a complete noob in AviSynth but I do know how to use VirtualDub (I am willing to learn new software for this!!) Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Another project complete – I thought this was going to be nice and simple but it wasn’t! I acquired a disc many years ago full of vintage special features, however it turns out it had many different issues. All of the 4:3 was authored with a 16:9 header, all of the audio was 5.1 with the extra channels empty and everything was out of sync. The TV documentary in particular was progressively out of sync and then when each commercial break occurred, the level of out of sync changed. The only way to fix it was to split it into commercial break segment, fix them one at a time by adjusting the audio length then recombining them – that alone took a week.

The main issue with this project is the audio. I had to use the DTS from the blu ray which is lacking in comparison to the laserdisc DTS. Unfortunately that disc is quite expensive but if anyone has it and is able to capture the DTS I would be happy to release a Version 2.

• BD25 with animated menus, background video, pop up menus and resume function
• Video taken from the Blu Ray
• English DTS, French AC3 and Spanish AC3 taken from the Blu Ray

PM me for the links, contributing/long term members only please. Contributing means active members of the forum who post and/or make their own projects.

High Resolution cover and disc art available from @Pineapples101 Here.

The photos below of the menu aren't great as the only way I could get them is from my phone while the disc is playing, software players disabled the screenshot function.






Just to clarify this is a project that I have made for myself which I am choosing to share. If you don't like the project, if you think it should have been done differently then feel free to keep that to yourself and consider doing your own project.

Hi All,
 
I’m planning a Mad Max disc and want to include as many bonus features as possible. Below is the overall list, some of which I have and some of which I don’t – can anyone help?
 

• The Madness of Max – got
  
• Mad Max 2 Stunts – from the VHS World's Greatest Stunts - got
  
• Mad Max 2 Making Of - from the Japanese DVD - got but would like a fresh rip
  
• Mad Max 2 Lost TV Version - got
  
• Making Of Mad Max Beyond The Thunderdome – got but only a youtube capture and it's incomplete
  
• Bobbie Wygant Interviews Mel Gibson and George Miller for Mad Max:Beyond Thunderdome - got
  
• Mad Max Motion Comic – got
  
• Mad Max, univers brûlant – got
  
• War Road – got
  
• Going Mad: The Battle of Fury Road (2017) Itunes Exclusive – got
  
• Mad Max The Reunion - got
  
• Mad Max 40th Anniversary - got
  
  

Thinking about picking up the BD set since its pretty cheap for all 4 movies.

However I was wondering how well are the audio mixes represented on the DTS-HD MA 5.1 tracks? Any added foley effects or general remix nastiness?

I'd like to see these ported to Blu-ray, as it were. Have any of the features from the Laserdiscs been rereleased?
