It turns out that there are two documentaries in the itunes extras for the Mad Max movies which haven't been released anywhere else. They are:

Going Mad: The Battle of Fury Road (2017) - attached to MM:FR

Road War (2016) - attached to MM2 / The Road Warrior

Does anyone have the capacity to grab these for those of us that already have teetering piles of physical copies and don't need a digital version (least of all on an unwieldy platform like itunes)?

Cheers!

I just joined. Been very interested in fan preservations, Star Wars OT is one of my favorites and acquiring 35mm presentations for home viewing. Thanks for accepting me.

It was bad enough that the 1953 version of WOTW directed by George Pal has had a new 5.1 remix by Ben burtt, but that it also uses a wide array of new sounds effects throughout the entire feature.  The previous stereo remix that was at least made from original elements is now gone from all new releases.  The mono track on the upcoming releases hopefully will be not overly filtered and compressed.



Then there is the 2005 remake version of WOTW, directed by Steven Spielberg. The original 5.1 DVD had low bass levels that were off the charts. Potential speaker damaging frequencies.  Great stuff.  The later 5.1 DTS-MA bluray track had the low frequencies lowered ever so slightly but unless one did A/B comparisons was close enough and still a speaker threatening house shaker. Everything was still there.  .. It's May 2020 and the Ultra bluray release with an Atmos audio remix is now out and reports are the house shaking low end has been neutered. Unlike the very negligible differences between the DVD and bluray audio, this time the low end us noticeably weaker and worst of all, no original audio is included on the Ultra bluray.

I'm trying to look for the following fanedit, if anyone has this please can u help

Personal information about the faneditor's intention & achievement:

Matrix ONE is interpreted in many ways and there is still not THE INTERPRETATION itself. Every viewer comes to his own personal interpretation, based on personal experiences or the context-sensitive audio-visual movie content. This prologue is about the fanedit's intention and should represent no interpretation of the movie content itself, but consider the structure of the movie as such, as it was originally intended by the creators. The main problem with the Matrix Trilogy was the executive producer Joel Silver. He is known for action-packed mainstream productions. The production of matrix TWO and THREE depended on the commercial success of Matrix ONE. If matrix ONE was not successful, the movie still had to function as a stand-alone movie.

Due to the significant influence of Joel Silver on the complete production of the Matrix trilogy, the trilogy could not unfold its story how it was planned in the initial treatments and screenplays from the years 1996-2000. That Matrix One functions better as a classic exposition, the complete plot with Cypher and his betrayal at the end of the movie were removed, this plot makes more sense in the stand-alone version of the movie. The resistance and disbelief at Morpheus are better developed in part TWO and THREE. Matrix One now sets the focus on finding NEO, his training and the believe in hisself. Matrix One is now the start to a magnificent science fiction trilogy with a timeless complex topic.

I have a featurette that's been framed incorrectly and it's really annoying me so I want to fix it. Unfortunately, it's:

1. Very low res (it's 4:3 SD in NTSC standard, 720 x 480)
2. Interlaced MPEG2

I've tried several ways of getting this de-interlaced for editing purposes but it always looks fairly awful. I've not really dabbled with Avisynth yet, but I think if possible it might be better just to leave the footage interlaced instead. Maybe if I explain what I'm trying to achieve, someone will be able to suggest the best way to go...

The bit of the video that I want to keep is a roughly 704 x 396 frame in the middle, because there are thin black bars on either side (~5-8px, some tape distortion so subjective) and much larger black bars on the top and bottom letterboxing from the 4:3 full frame. I want to keep it compatible with Blu-ray as it currently is but I'm not sure how to get it into an editable format without deinterlacing it first, and obviously 704 x 396 is not a BD compliant resolution either so I'm probably also going to have to upscale it to something like 720/1080 (704x396 upscales to either 1280x720 or 1920x1080 without any black bars).

Do you reckon I'm going to have to convert it to progressive to do the crop without it looking like crap? I know I can use ffmpeg to feed it through deinterlacing (but I think the only option is yadif, which is iffy in my experience) before cropping and upscaling, so it looks horrible even if I do all 3 in a single command. I think ideally I'd rather keep it interlaced, but I'm not sure how to retain interlacing in ffmpeg while also doing the crop and upscale.


Note: I just realised that the reason it's 720 x 480 interlanced but the actual image is only about 704 pixels wide is probably because 16/720 samples are used for horizontal sync/blanking when transmitting 720x480 digitally with rectangular (taller than they are wide) pixels. Therefore, I'm wondering if this video might have been encoded with the image squished horizontally. A newer encode is actually available but that looks much worse overall due to several aliasing issues. I imagine it probably isn't as simple as just stretching the image horizontally to correct this, but I can do that if that's all it needs. The older source is interlaced with the usual "one then the other" line arrangement but the newer one uses interleaved fields instead and seems to look worse for it.Basically, it's a horrible mess regardless of which encode I source from.

Need some help from a more tech minded person. I was using Dre's program the last few days just fine. I wake up this morning and now getting:

Initialize component instance failed

and then

Could not access the MCR component cache.

when I hit the CM 1.2 exe. I removed everything and reload (even as admin), still doesn't work. Changed the directory from the default Program File (x86) and still no go. There were no updates last night to Windows, no Matlab updates.

When I look up the MCR error I see a bunch of different solutions that don't seem to work.

Hey,

just wanted to introduce myself briefly..

I have been doing "some videostuff" since I was a kid - went all the way from analog tape stuff to nowadays AI Upscaling interests, tweaked old Celeron motherboards "back then" for realtime MPEG Encoding, hacked my DVD Player to support SVCDS, still have some capture cards lying around (pinnacle DC... anyone?) and had some routes into the professional domain. Mostly its hobby and is flanked by a strong interest in computers in general as well as Audiorelated stuff...

At the moment, my focus is on "what to do with all this old stuff" So I found this forum... I am investigating AI-Uspcaling, doing some betatests for some commercial products, would love to find time to get my capture rig out again and I am thinking of trayning my own models for restauration... Had some Linux machines back then, I am able to fiddle Win7Pro on a Server by tweaking the install media, so I know my way around, but it´s not daily business, so some things just take time...

Let´s see what can be done with "the old stuff".

Thanx for having me here!

Hello

does anyone have the movie on LD and can provide a capture of it? Preferably with video to make the sync easier

Thanks

An upcoming project is a special edition of Mortal Kombat and I'd love to include the DTS track from the laserdisc - as the blu ray has a different DTS track. Unfortunately it's very expensive - I don't suppose anyone has it and can capture it?
