  Death Machine 1994 Looking for right color grading
Posted by: Nfsfan83 - 2020-04-24, 08:48 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (20)

This is my version:

Like you see in some scenes there are too much blue color.  I know it is BD version but I prefere more my DVD.

Here are screens from, I think US DVD 4:3

In the scene with the elevator, the color is most different.

  Help resyncing "The Terminator"
Posted by: Dinsdale - 2020-04-24, 06:02 PM - Forum: General technical discussions - Replies (4)

Hey everyone

I need some help, as I'm either doing something wrong and/or missing something.

What I want to accomplish is take my 2012 Blu-ray of "The Terminator" and add the mono mix.

I've read the thread HERE on Original Trilogy, and I've eventually aquired the following mixes which all run for 1:47:24.

- T1 mono 1995 Image LD Team Blu.dts
- T1 mono sync Chace Remix 1985.aac
- T1 mono sync 2001 SE DVD.aac


So, since I have them, I thought "Why not add them all to give me the ultimate choice on the fly. I want to also keep in the 5.1 remix."

I am using tsmuxer to do this. It works, but it's out of sync. The reason being is that the MGM Lion Logo is not present on the 00000.m2ts file. It goes straight to the Orion logo. When I put the Blu-ray into a player, of course it shows the MGM logo. On the disc. this is a separate track, it seems.

So, I tried adding a delay that is suggested on the OT thread, which is +8950. I would think if anything, I need to go -8950. -8950 gives me better results, so I just need to know the correct delay which I will have to work out.

Then, this will leave me with a blank screen while the audio for the MGM logo appears. Not ideal, but it gives me an alternative choice, I can live with the MGM logo, but how do I add it from the other stream... there's actually the following streams on the disc.

00000.m2ts - the film itself, starts with the Orion logo and runs 1:47:03
00001.m2ts - lasts for 1 second and is just blank
00002.m2ts - MGM logo that lasts for 7 seconds
00003.m2ts - MGM logo that starts with a cats eye that lasts for 16 seconds

Now, if I go through TMPGEnc and add the main title, I get the full MGM logo and film in one track - 1:47:18 - but I also get an error saying all audio tracks can be decoded, and I'm left with Spanish and other languages. I can output the video, so I can get the raw video, and I can add the mono mixes - but I lose the 5.1 mix, which seems to be only 1:47:03 long.

Is there an easier way to do this? It's been driving me nuts all day.

Hey everyone

Came here in search to PM someone about something I saw him post on another site (but I can't register for that site due to a technical issue they need to sort). Anyway, had a browse around and think I'll stay. I love the passion here.

I've been cleaning up audio on VHS conversions of 80's/90's wrestling broadcasts origiinally recorded on VHS, with mostly positive results. I may just stick around and help/get help where possible.

I'm a dab hand in TMPGEnc Authoring Works and I'm starting to learn Adobe Premiere too.

Music Ripping Audio From DVDs
Posted by: nafroe - 2020-04-20, 02:22 AM - Forum: Capture and rip - Replies (3)

Hello all, I am looking to rip a couple of audio tracks from a couple DVDs I own... One has an Isolated Score Track... And the other I want to try and extract discrete channels of 5.1 (AC3 and DTS tracks) for a small snippet of the film for another personal project I'm working on.

On my old PC, I used DVD Audio Extractor which I had great success with once upon a time... I am on a Mac Mini Currently (with and external USB DVD drive), but haven't had much luck with the same program.

I do realize that there is a paid version of that program for Mac, but I'm wondering... What is another good program for ripping DVD audio for Mac?

Bonus points if it can rip Lossless DVD-A tracks as well.

  Dead Presidents Criterion Preservation V2
Posted by: alleycat - 2020-04-19, 12:35 PM - Forum: Released - No Replies

[Image: 3B0W7UW.png]

This was the first project I did and the menu structure has evolved slightly since then, plus for V1 I didn't use the original Criterion chapter stops and finally when I did the colour correction I applied just one LUT to the entire project, this time I have redone the correction using 47 LUTs. 

  • BD25 with animated menus that look and behave like the official Criterion discs, with a background video, pop up menus and resume function
  • Video taken from the HDTV broadcast, with scene by scene colour correction
  • Original chapter stops used on the Laserdisc
  • English 5.1 EAC3 from the HDTV Broadcast
  • Commentary track with the Directors The Hughes Brothers, Larenz Tate, Keith David, Lisa Rinzler, Dr Todd Boyd and Ari Merretazon
  • English, French, German and Spanish Subtitles
  • Deleted Scenes and Storyboard sequences
  • Vintage Featurette
  • Trailer and TV Spots
  • The Real Anthony, Ari Merretazon, Today
  • Dr Boyd's Guide to Blaxploitation
  • Al Green in Pimpstrumental Color
  • Issac Hayes Walk On By Music Video
  • Laserdisc Credits

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.

  Save BLOOD Circus!
Posted by: zxtheproto - 2020-04-19, 05:20 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (14)

Only one print of this film is known to exist - and it might be possible to scan it!


From the Lost Media Wiki:

Santo Gold's Blood Circus, produced in 1985 by Santo Victor Rigatuso (aka Robert "Bob" Harris), is a sci-fi movie about man-eating aliens from "Zoran" invading Earth and their clash with professional US and USSR wrestlers. Rigatuso, playing the character of Santo Gold in a scene recorded at the Baltimore Civic Center, performs a song before the film's climactic brawl. The lyrics, however, have nothing to do with the film, and are about Rigatuso's Santo Gold business.

The film starred a few professional wrestlers from WWF (now WWE), and was made on a budget of 2 million dollars. It was promoted through infomercials for Rigatuso's Santo Gold mail-order jewelry business.



In 1987, after 2 years of editing the film, Rigatuso was having trouble finding a distributor for it, and decided to rent a few local cinemas and screen it himself over the course of one week (although he only held a few showings, and the film didn't gross anywhere near its 2 million dollar budget). "Scream Bags" were also given out at the screenings as a promotional tie-in, each side of the bag sporting a long poem about Blood Circus, with one of the sides containing a coupon for a free diamond ring from Santo Gold.

If we can get together $600, we might be able get this bizarre cinematic oddity preserved for the future!

So, a bit of backstory. The individual who owns this print recently offered a number of prints for rental for scanning - including the print of The Keep which was also recently posted to this forum. This print is also part of that individual's collection, but we've been told by the middleman in this situation that due to its rarity we'll only be able to continue forward with seeing if we can get this print scanned if we can demonstrate there is enough interest.

As such, if you have any interest in donating to make this happen, please post below or PM with the amount you would wish to donate. We're not collecting yet, but if there's enough interest we might just be able to get this print scanned.

Current totals: $100/$600:

zxthehedgehog/zxtheproto (Self) - $50
ThrowMeTheWhip (SWT) - $50

  The Keep (Michael Mann, 1983) – 35mm Scan
Posted by: LucasGodzilla - 2020-04-17, 10:48 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (166)

Well after gathering a bit of data, it seems there's the most amount of support for a preservation scan of The Keep as of right now, and I can most certainly understand why given its rough history when it comes to proper home media releases–or the lack thereof.


Though it may not be the original Michael Mann cut people wish to see or an official HD release that doesn't recycle the laserdisc master, we have the next best thing thanks to a collector friend: A theatrical release print.

So doing some quick rough calculations, the movie is 96 minutes, making the scanning cost $480 with an appended $200 for renting the print itself, roughly $75 for one-way shipping, bringing us to approximately $830 total in costs–in theory.

So, getting the ball rolling, I will be merely holding pledges for the time being. Once we get enough pledges to approximate the cost, I'll look into how to handle actual donations and we'll see how things will go from there.

So far we have pledges from...
