  Beetlejuice: LD audio
Posted by: SpookyDollhouse - 2020-07-15, 06:26 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (1)

Beetlejuice is getting a 4k release this September, unfortunately only with an Atmos remix. It's unknown how different it'll be if at all, but if the Batman and Shining discs are any indicator it might not be pretty! With that in mind, I'd like to sync the original LD audio to the new 4k once it releases. I cannot capture LD audio myself, and I'd be very grateful if anybody can help me out. My sync will be available to all interested once the disc is released and I can get to work.

  AVI Synth Script Assistance
Posted by: alleycat - 2020-07-14, 10:47 PM - Forum: Converting, encoding, authoring - Replies (3)

Hi All,

I am trying to fix an old PAL TV recording and I have managed to obtain. I am a basic Avisynth user, I've used it several times to IVTC but if there is an expert out there maybe they could point me in the right direction? 

Mediainfo reports the file as 25 fps progressive and during movement horizontal lines appear. It looks to me as if the field order is reversed? When I have come across this before I've fixed it using TFM() but that as for NTSC footage and it doesn't seem to make any difference with this footage. 

Unfortunately this is the only way I am able to get this recording, I've was searching for it for years and was lucky to find this. 

Much appreciated Smile

  Issue with captured VHS Audio
Posted by: alleycat - 2020-07-13, 02:17 PM - Forum: Capture and rip - Replies (6)

A while ago, before I was active on fanres, I paid for a company to digitise a couple of VHS tapes. I only got around to looking at one of them recently and the audio is pretty much unusable. Whenever it gets loud, especially during speech, it distorts. This is how it looks in audacity: 

[Image: aQoaf9i.png]

I just wanted to check, before I go back to them and complain, could there be an issue with the actual VHS that caused this? To me it's as if they didn't plug one of the audio cables in fully when capturing? The audio sounds fine when watching the VHS. 

Thanks

  'Recreating' an audio track? (Drunken Master II)
Posted by: Serums - 2020-07-13, 06:57 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - No Replies

Hello.

Just an idea I've had that may be way above my skill level, but nevertheless.

For anyone familiar with Lau Kar-Leung/Jackie Chan's Drunken Master II, the Region 3 DVD release contained something of a 'new' Cantonese soundtrack where the music was replaced with the versions of the respective tracks that appeared on the soundtrack CD. So they'd effectively mixed the CD quality music (albeit downmixed to mono) with the film's original dubbing and effects.

However, Warner's attempt to do this had at least two faults:

  • Whoever created the track inadvertently looped the music at times.
  • The soundtrack stops for that brief moment in the final fight (admittedly audio tracks from other releases also have this fault/possible stylistic decision)
Warner's result does sound quite high quality, almost making the track sound 'new' or remastered. But some sequences in the film will have loops or abrupt changes in the soundtrack. I'd initially considered cutting and replacing the affected sections with the CD audio and trying to blend them. However, outside of syncing audio I don't really know much about working with it. And I began to feel that working with the CD audio from the beginning might yield a better result than mixing CD quality audio in with a lossy AC3 track.

Is what I'd like to do even possible? If so, how would I go about it, and would anyone have any pointers (or would anyone perhaps like to assist)?

I'd been toying with the idea of fixing Warner Brothers' blu-ray anyway (either just tweaking it to remove the unnecessary pink tones or experimenting with a colour correction), so something like this might make it unique. I am not aware of this 'new' track being used anywhere other than the R3 release. If I go ahead with trying to create it, I'd of course do so for the entirety of the film rather than recreating the Warner/Export English cut.

As for sources, I have: 
The Warner R3 source audio (let's call it the 'new' Cantonese track)
Two different laserdisc-sourced Cantonese audio tracks
The soundtrack CD.


Like I said, this may be way out of my league since I'm new to anything other than syncing audio, but it's just an idea.

Thanks!

  Convert Chapter Times from xFPS to xFPS?

How can I convert chapter times from a 25fps movie to properly use them in 23,976fps?
Are there any tools that can do such a conversion? Google doesn't really help, as I only get Fortnite result for whatever reasons Confused

Lightbulb Regular Show Uncensored Season 1 Episodes 1080p MKV AC3 2.0-crampedmisfit
Posted by: crampedmisfit1990 - 2020-07-12, 09:45 PM - Forum: Released - Replies (7)

Ok so... I took it upon myself to make perfect restorations (in HD) of the 3 infamous Regular Show Season 1 episodes that curse. These 3 episodes are The Power (episode 1), Free Cake (episode 5), and Meat Your Maker (episode 6). They originally aired only for a brief time uncensored and were never aired uncut again. The official Blu-ray was censored as well. What made this project even tougher to accomplish was the fact that the particular scenes that involved cursing were dubbed to "ticked" in stead of "pissed", but what was worse was the actual animation was changed as well to sync to "ticked". Their mouths were changed to match the censored words is basically what I'm saying. So, Here I present to you the original, Uncensored 3 episodes in full, glorious HD. Was a work of love and took a bit of playing around to per-fect all 3. These are now perfect and ready for the fans.

I used the official blu-rays as the base and the old original DVDs (I had to track these down and purchase them just for the audio Haha) for the uncensored AC3 audio (blu-rays only featured AC3 as an option anyway) and used rare WEB-DLs as the video source to replace the brief cursing scenes in HD. I also used smart rendering to make these as lossless as possible.

List of fixes:

Episode 1 - The Power: Rigby says "How in the H are we gonna fix this S?!" (1:48) and then Rigby says "But he's gonna be pissed!" (7:38)

Episode 5 - Free Cake: Mordecai says "Benson's gonna get pissed so we shouldn't" (5:30)

Episode 6 - Meat Your Maker: Mordecai says "You pissed me off..." (2:21)


Here is a video guide I made to show the Blu-ray censorship and then my fixes:

So firstly I guess I need to re-encode one source to match the others format and fps.
Then I'll need to mask one video over the other to remove most of the logo.
Then finally, as there will still be a bit of the StarzEncore logo showing, I'll need to remove it somehow.

This is where I need your expert help on what programs to use and how best to use them.

Thanks.

Hey everyone my name is David, I'm from Berlin, so sorry for my bad English.
I bought the three Japanese Star Wars Special Collection Laserdiscs and plan them to rip/capture.
I have no technical knowledge about it.
Can you give me recommendations on where I can get the best information?
Many thanks in advance

  a movie similar to Wild Hogs? [SOLVED!]

Just watched Wild Hogs, and another movie came to my mind.

IIRC it was about four (or maybe three) friends motorbikers-wannabes... one had a motorbike, but the others have lesser interesting vehicles; I guess one was a scooter, but can't remember the others.

Have I imagined it? Big Grin
