  The Fifth Element full screen R1 DVD
Posted by: drngr - 2019-11-05, 08:29 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (5)

The original R1 release was a flipper with widescreen on Side A and fullscreen 4:3 on Side B.

I tried and failed to buy one off eBay by purchasing based on UPC. It turns out that they re-used the same UPC for the 2007 HD remastered DVD that is widescreen-only.

Finding someone who will ship outside the US for a reasonable cost is also an issue.

Does anyone here still own this old release?

  Enter the Dragon Uncut edition?
Posted by: Moiisty - 2019-11-04, 10:20 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (1)

I was wondering if the ex rental version of Enter the Dragon was uncut....... If so, I could buy it sometime in the future (ik someone who is selling it) and capture it and upload it and we could combine the rip with possible other versions because i know ronster at originaltrilogy is making a definitive version but he hasn't posted anything for a while.

The photo is from the seller

  The Corruptor 1999 WEB DL 1080p Open Matte
Posted by: maksnew - 2019-10-31, 06:24 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - No Replies

I have the mouth of The Corruptor 1999 1080p Open Matte with the STARZ pop-up logo. I found a low-bitrate HDTV with the same content, which is enough to hide the logo and it will not be noticeable, the film also has non-disconnectable English subtitles for Chinese, surprisingly HDTV does not have these non-disable subtitles, but due to its low The quality of subtitle hiding in the STARZ source will be noticeable.
Maybe someone has the best source for HDTV and it turns out to perfectly remove hard-coded subtitles.
Is it also possible that there is a Cinema DTS sound? In the Blu Ray edition, the sound is not the best, with a cut of frequencies in the region of 20K

  MKVmerge and Subtitles
Posted by: PDB - 2019-10-29, 08:37 PM - Forum: Converting, encoding, authoring - Replies (7)

Stupid question. I have a video file the is a certain length and subs for that video that are a little too long (by a little less then a min). Is there a way in MKVmerge to create the mkv to the length of the video and not the subs?

When I mux the video and subs, the running time is that of the subs. Which means a minute of extra black frames at the end. I tried cutting the file in mkmerge to the length of the video or spiting the file to the length of the video but neither work.

I don't want to go in and edit the subs since this should work in mkvmerge but its not and it feels like I'm missing something obvious.

  Plastic Galaxy - Bonus Features
Posted by: digitalfreaknyc - 2019-10-29, 04:01 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (1)

I'm making an HD disc of this (because they only ever released a DVD) but none of the digital versions have the bonus features.

Does anyone happen to have the DVD? It's currently OOP.

  The Revenant - Open Matte
Posted by: Hitcher - 2019-10-29, 12:30 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (4)

So I grabbed The Revenant 2015 Open Matte 1080p BluRay DTS x264-VietHD earlier today but when I started watching the scene of the naked man stumbling into the camp was blurred out making me think this was a TV rip and not a BluRay. Plus I can't see any BluRay release other than the 2.39:1 one.

Anyone know any different open matte versions that aren't censored?

  HDD real speed
Posted by: spoRv - 2019-10-28, 04:37 PM - Forum: General technical discussions - Replies (5)

I bought a new HDD lately, an HGST 10TB with a max speed around 250/300MBps.

Lately, I noted that, if I move a huge file (several GBs) from the SSD (SATA, max 550MBps) to it, speed is around 1.7GBps - and it's not a lie, as it takes few seconds to move the file, instead of some dozen seconds...

Why? How?

  Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - Open Matte Recording
Posted by: 44rh1n - 2019-10-28, 07:01 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (4)

I saw that The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was airing on TV so I recorded it. Turns out it's an open matte version. 720p60. I'm not interested in doing a fanres project with it, but if anyone else wants this recording, feel free to PM me.

Video Russian cartoons in other languages
Posted by: born113 - 2019-10-27, 11:56 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (4)

Please help me find some cartoons with sound in different languages.

It was released in the 1990s as parts of Mikhail Baryshnikov's "Stories from My Childhood" series and
"Masters of Russian Animation" series. These cartoons were shown on local TV everywhere. These cartoons were released on VHS and DVD. I do not know the exact names in all languages. But there are links to IMDB.

English:
1. Golden antelope / Золотая антилопа (1954)  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0145799/

Spanish:
1. The adventures of Mowgli / Маугли (1967/1971/1973)  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0217590/
2. The Frog Princess / La princesa rana / Царевна-лягушка (1954)  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3065832/
3. Golden antelope / Antílope dorado / Золотая антилопа (1954)  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0145799/
4. The Golden Feather / La pluma de oro / Золотое пёрышко (1960)  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2597732/
5.* Cat City / Macskafogo /  La ciutat dels gats (1986)  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0179955/

Italian:
1. The adventures of Mowgli / Маугли (1967/1971/1973)  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0217590/
2. Alice and the mystery of the third planet (1981)    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0761873/

* This is non-Russian, but very necessary


I will be very-very-very grateful for the finds.

  HALLOWEEN: Evil Waits (2013 regrade with new prologue and original mono audio)
Posted by: pipefan413 - 2019-10-27, 11:18 PM - Forum: Released - Replies (20)

HALLOWEEN: EVIL WAITS
a pipefan413 preservation

[Image: 4ztRMRwAkBLd.jpg]

This is mostly Halloween as we know it, but with a few tweaks:

1. The original mono audio has been reinstated (in lossless 16-bit PCM) and the TV audio has been level boosted by approximately 5dB so that it is no longer significantly quieter than the rest of the film.

2. I have added a new prologue consisting of a re-edited presentation of one of the scenes shot for the 1980 TV cut. As well as cutting some shots and rearranging others, I regraded the colour to somewhat more closely approximate the DP-approved "35th Anniversary Edition", since that was my source for the rest of the footage.

3. 10 frames have been trimmed from the start of the opening titles so that the timing of the main theme kicking in after the new prologue is more satisfying (you can almost count the theme in with a bar of 5/4 at the right tempo).

4. The whole thing has been re-encoded down ever so slightly to a video bitrate of around 35Mbps so that it'll fit onto a 25GB Blu-ray disc with a little room left for a menu and potentially a bonus video or two if you like. The direct rip of the unedited film was 36.2Mbps and slightly too big at 25.5GB, but this release is around 22.9GB. I have attempted to ensure that it's disc-compatible, but I don't reckon I want it on disc myself so burn at your own discretion (you might want to inspect the file closely before authoring).


I did this after re-watching Croweyes1121's Halloween: Revised Extended Edition, which adds the 1980 TV scenes to spoRv's THX-esque regraded release (Fundamental Collection #006). Whilst I love that release as an alternative way to watch the film, I find the TV scenes to be distractingly mismatched with everything else, and they mess with the flow of the edit significantly. However, one scene between Loomis and young Michael in Smith's Grove stood out to me in a good way. I do not feel that it sits well where it was placed for the extended TV cut, but I thought it might work as a brief prologue to the original theatrical cut. That's exactly what I've done with this edit.

NOTE: The regrade of the TV footage is by no means "accurate" in any way, since it uses no direct reference and was not intended to reproduce an existing version of this footage. It's definitely heavy on the blue. This is primarily because I'm new to colour grading but wanted this out by Halloween, so I just did a very simple curve adjustment to cut the red channel fairly heavily and the green channel slightly, as opposed to learning and implementing a more sophisticated technique. It does nonetheless look better to me overall than it did on the special features of the 35th Anniversary Blu-ray Disc, or in Croweyes1121's regrade (which was targeted toward the THX colours to match Fundamental Collection #006) and if I do get better at this stuff and manage to get my hands on a better source e.g. the bonus disc from the 2014 US Complete Collection, I might take another run at this. For now, it does what I want it to do and I figure it might be of interest to somebody out there. Here's a quick example of what it looked like in the source I had vs how it looks in my first release: http://www.framecompare.com/screenshotco...n/J0EMMNNU

In terms of availability, it's currently on the 'Spleen and will be made available elsewhere if anybody feels like inviting me to another suitable tracker that's still taking on new members.

Enjoy!
