Hello Everyone !

Hope all of you are doing well.

I have been a member of this forum for the last couple of years. But now let me take this opportunity to say a couple of things.

First of all let me tell you that as much as I consider myself a keen observer and an addict to the Visuals / Cinematography, Aspect Ratio's, Pixel Resolutions & all the HD formats of our movies, I want to say that am really enjoying this forum and a big thanks to the admins for creating a place like Fanres where we can discuss, share, contribute & exchange ideas honestly as much as we can from our knowledge in creating an upgraded / better forms of our fan videos.

Secondly, a Big & Sincere appreciation to all the Project Makers of this forum for your immense hard work, commitment, patience & utmost dedication in producing an output which even takes days & months to generate a couple of frames.

Thirdly, thanks again to the admins of this forum for providing all the Restoration basics & methods, Simple and effective guides (all which are absolutely helpful) for the restoration of our fan favorite movies.

I've got a couple of movies in my list which I would like to regrade to a better version. In that process I'm currently going through all the guides provided learning one by one hoping to achieve a result & bring it to the place someday. 

Stay Safe Fanres.

  How do you sync 2 sources in Vegas Pro

I'm trying make my own Open Matte of 'Shaun of the Dead' from the web-dl and hdtv releases but the web-dl has the Starz intro and I can't seem to trim it so they both line up correctly.

Is there something I'm missing? Bearing in mind this my first attempt at this.  Wink

I used a lot of animation on the menus, carousel wheels to scroll through the extras etc, so all in all it was about 140 different menus behind the scenes to get it all working. For the background video I had the problem of matching up clips from Mad Max 1979 with clips from Mad Max Fury Road, so I decided to apply some super 8 style filters to try and make all of the footage look similar. I think it turned out pretty good. 

*** Mad Max 2 Extended Composite Version

This is the 4:3 DVD of Mad Max, upscaled to 720p and decimated back to 23.976 fps. It was then run through some dirt and dust removal filters and synced up to the PCM from the laserdisc. Next the uncut scenes from the blu ray were added in, matted to 4:3 and colour corrected so they match the DVD footage. 

Then all of the unique footage from the Lost TV Version was upscaled and cleaned, then added in and colour corrected, I also tried my best to match the volume levels but it's still pretty obvious where the extra footage is. I decided to ignore any footage that was purely there for censorship reasons and only include new/alternate shots/scenes. I kept the Mad Max 2 opening title as opposed to Road Warrior. 

Finally I added the alternate audio from the TV Version, such as Papagello's speech and the opening narration. For the Lost TV Version I had two sources, however one suffered from ghosting and I found it didn't react well to Dr Dre so I used the NTSC version, which suffers from green/pink at the top of the screen in parts. So this is an attempt to create the longest version of Mad Max 2, it's not perfect but overall I'm happy with it.

  The Goonies (1985) TV Cut
Posted by: Bobson Dugnutt - 2020-08-20, 03:26 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (3)

Has anyone got another VHS recording of the TV cut? Specifically the shop scene as the recording I’ve got at the moment is terrible quality and is blown out. The excellent Ridgeshark was helping me upscale it with the same process he did for his own Jaws edit and my current copy isn't the best. If anyone has a different recording, let me know.

  What's up peeps
Posted by: ShoNuff - 2020-08-20, 10:12 AM - Forum: Presentation - Replies (2)

What's up, everyone. I found this place by searching for Cynthia Rothrock's commentary. I have been rebuilding my Hong Kong Cinema(Martial Arts)movies over the past few months. Lost the majority of my films(physical) during a move. Luckily I had a few backups and iTunes purchases. Seeing the passion and work everyone is doing here is fascinating so why not join. No idea how I will contribute as of now but if I come across any rare Hong Kong film people need I'll let someone know. I post a lot on Twitter on Martial Arts choreography if anyone is there.

Looking forward to chop it up with some of ya here. Peace!

  Dragon Ball Z Movies 1-3 Pioneer LaserDiscs synced to Amazon WEB-DL
Posted by: Deli - 2020-08-19, 10:25 PM - Forum: Released - Replies (3)

Hi, this is my first post in the forum. These are the digital LaserDisc, English Ocean Studios dub audio tracks for the first 3 Dragon Ball Z movies, and the only LaserDiscs which were released in North America for the franchise: Dead Zone, World's Strongest, and The Tree of Might. These sound better than the lossy DVD tracks. The output tracks are in FLAC, 16bit, 44.1khz, synced with what is imo the best source for the movies as of now: the Japanese Amazon WEB-DL release. Not sure if they sync to the Japanese Blu-rays as well, they might need an initial adjustment. Just PM me and I'll send you a link, I don't ask for anything in return, though I'm trying to collect original movie sound mixes (mostly from LaserDiscs) from as many movies as I can, especially the ones with butchered Blu-ray surround tracks, like Halloween, Jaws, Evil Dead, Terminator, Wizard of Oz, etc. So, if you can share some of that as well, I'd be very thankful.

  Jaws (1975) - German Mono from LD
Posted by: bendermac - 2020-08-19, 12:34 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (5)

Anyone here has the german LD of Jaws (Der Weisse Hai)?

The new 4K now includes the mono mix in english and german, but neither are the actual original mixes. Universal couldn't leave their fingers and had to meddle on the mixes.

So to get the actual original mono mix in the best possible quality - the 1st DVD of the movie in Germany had the original german mix, but only in 192kbps AC3 - I'm looking for the LD.

If anyone can help out with the LD, let me know.

  De-esser?
Posted by: alleycat - 2020-08-19, 11:25 AM - Forum: Audio and video editing - Replies (3)

Just wondered if anyone had any experience in using one of these with video audio? I've recently come across a blu ray (Corrupt aka Copkiller - Code Red) and the audio is awful, every time there is an S or C sound it distorts massively. I've done some reading up and watched a few youtube videos, plenty of programs that can fix it and I'm planning on giving it a go with Premiere.

However, almost every guide I've read talks about doing it pretty much each S at a time. For a 3 minute audio recording I guess that isn't too bad but for a 100 minute movie it will take forever. Has anyone had any success in using a blanket approach for an entire movie? 

I'm going to try it in Premiere when I get home and see how it goes.

  Jungle Holocaust aka Last Cannibal World
Posted by: alleycat - 2020-08-19, 11:12 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (5)

This one is a long short but I don't suppose anyone has this Ruggero Deodato cannibal movie with Italian audio? The Code Red blu ray came with English audio only as did the Region 1 Shriek Show DVD. I managed to get hold of a Dutch DVD that states on the cover it has Italian audio but it only has English!

According to DVD Rewind, the only other issues that contain Italian audio are the Japanese and Scandinavian discs. There is also an Italian disc that isn't listed on DVD rewind. 

Trying to restore the Italian audio to the blu ray. 

Thanks
