  German Speakers Who Can Help With Translation?
Posted by: alleycat - 2019-10-10, 10:17 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - No Replies

Hi All,

Another project I have been working on for some time is the Norwegian Slasher Trilogy Fritt Vilt aka Cold Prey. Parts 1 and 3 are already done but I'm struggling a little with Part 2. There has never been English friendly extras. I've got a short making of and special effects documentary in Norwegian that I really want to get translated into English. 

These extras also appear on the German Blu Ray with hardcoded German subtitles so I've ripped these to srt (had to type in the German words one by one as the OCR wasn't accurate at all!) and used google translate to get them into English. 

Now google translate is an amazing tool but it's not 100% accurate. I wondered if there is any members who speak German who would be willing to take a look at the google translation and correct any obvious errors? 

In terms of 'payment' I can offer any of the projects I have done so far or have planned for the future, or anything from my extensive collection of workprints and TV Versions. 

Someone on another forum was helping me but life got in the way and now there is only one movie left to do I really would like to get it finished and released. 

Thanks all

  [No Longer Available] The Ring Original DVD/DVHS Colors (Quick Project)
Posted by: PDB - 2019-10-09, 08:28 PM - Forum: Released - Replies (18)

[Image: NToT2BX.jpg]

The Ring Original DVD/DVHS Colors (Quick Project v1.0)


Project Info

The original HD master of the US remake of The Ring (2002) has a different color timing than the later BD. The original timing was a cool green-blue mix whereas the BD has a firmly dark, green-yellow look. Here are some examples between the BD and DVD:

https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?go=1&a=0&...27&i=1&l=0

Luckily the older, and I think superior color timing has appeared in HD on the old DTheather DVHS system and has since been ripped. This project will take that HD MPEG-2 footage and run a light clean-up of compression artifacts.

Adding to that will be the Cinema DTS as originally heard in theaters.

Video:
Mpeg-2 footage deblocked with compression clean-up

Audio:
1. DTS-HD MA 5.1 (from the Cinema DTS Discs with Dtheather bumper added)
2. DTS 5.1 (from the DVHS Tape cap)

Sync
Synced to the Dtheather tape with a ~ +33000ms to the DVD

Subs:
1. English (from the DVD)

  Sharing Projects
Posted by: alleycat - 2019-10-08, 09:11 PM - Forum: General technical discussions - Replies (5)

Hi All,

What do you find is the best way to share your projects? Currently I am sharing via mega, but I only have 50 gig space and I often find I have to delete something to upload a new project, then sod's law someone asks for the one I just deleted! Are there any alternatives?

I know some people use myspleen but I'm not a member. 

I've also had someone message me to say they get a transfer quote exceeded message from mega and it won't let them download without paying - I've never come across that myself?

One really good unlimited size method I have used is fromsmash, but you need an email address for the receiver and you have to reupload every time you subsequently send. 

Thanks

  Friday the 13th Part 3 Half SBS 3D
Posted by: alleycat - 2019-10-08, 03:53 PM - Forum: Released - Replies (15)

I did not create the video for this project myself, but I am posting here with the full blessing of the anonymous person who did. This version has never been released officially, all home video versions have been 3D Anaglyph so they use the paper glasses not the glasses that come with modern 3D TVs. It turns out when the DVD was created it used one of the cameras and the Blu Ray used the other, so the person who created it used combined both, to create a 'proper' 3D effect. This took an incredible amount of time as every frame needed to be aligned and colour corrected so the two matched. 

This has since shown up on the internet as an MVC video, which is the way official 3D blu rays are encoded. The problem with the MVC version is the quality is reduced, it involves another encoding process and the two half size images are stretched to full size. The benefit of MVC is your 3D TV may not automatically detect Half SBS as 3D, you might have to tell your TV via the remote control. So take your pick but I prefer better quality.

The blu ray contains:

  • Half SBS 3D Version
  • English 5.1 DTS HD MA (exclusive to this release)
  • Optional English Subtitles (with 3D depth)
  • Fresh Cuts 3D Terror
  • Legacy Of The Mask
  • Slasher Films: Going For The Jugular
  • Jason Actor Panel 2006
  • Cast & Crew Reunion 2007
  • Theatrical Trailer

  Ticker 2001 Two Versions and Two Commentary Tracks
Posted by: alleycat - 2019-10-08, 11:36 AM - Forum: Released - Replies (2)

This is not the best movie ever made by far but this should hopefully be the most complete edition of it. This combines five different previous editions into one, including two rare bootleg releases from Albert Pyun himself.

This custom made blu ray contains:

  • HD 1080P AVC from the OOP Norwegian Blu Ray
  • English 5.1 DTS HD and 2.0 Dolby Digital Audio Options
  • Optional English Subtitles
  • Audio Commentary against the theatrical version, which was censored by the Producers to remove a lot of Albert Pyun's criticism of the project
  • Alternate Director's Cut in SD - released on a bootleg by Albert Pyun himself - rough quality with some effects incomplete but he said it was the best he could do with the materials he had access to. English 2.0 Dolby Digital Audio.
  • Audio Commentary against the Director's Cut released by Albert Pyun, full uncensored version with the truth about what happened on production
  • Making Of Documentary
  • Trailer
  • Animated Blu Ray menus and resume function

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.

Just to clarify this is a project that I have made for myself which I am choosing to share. If you don't like the project, if you think it should have been done differently then feel free to keep that to yourself and consider doing your own project.

  [Cancelled] Fight Club Open Matte (and OAR Old Master)
Posted by: PDB - 2019-10-07, 09:15 PM - Forum: Archived projects - Replies (82)

[Image: OoJb9M4.png]

Fight Club Open Matte (v1.0)

plus a bonus

Fight Club German BD OAR (v1.0)

Project Info

This project attempts to create the best version of Fight Club in the open matte format by combining the parts from 3 separate HDTV broadcasts and the Web-DL (thanks X5gb).

Each video file (HDTVs and Web) have their own separate issues including compression artifacts, smeared grain, missing frames, etc. The biggest problem is the compression. Each file has the compression of it's broadcast but when I compare the files against each other I can tell the original master had a host of compression blocking, hatch marks and blurring. Although the master has grain a lot of it is destroyed in the the compression. I first took the parts from each video file that had the least compression and stitched them together to form the least compromised version. Then I cleaned up those compression artifacts and added grain that best matches the BD's level of grain, especially for the shots that were the grain was destroyed.

The color has been left largely unchanged with just a small adjustment to the red and blue in the shadows. The color scheme is the older one of the DVD and DVHS aka pre-BD remaster which mostly similar but with a few notable exceptions.

On the audio side I'm adding the original Cinema DTS soundtrack, the super rare PCM 2.0 and 5.1EX from the Japanese LD and the BD English soundtrack. There might be some other tracks added later.

Finally, I asked spoRv for a copy of his YAO subs. So similar to my Top Gun project you will be able to watch the project in 1.77 open matte or theatrical 2.35 with a tiny bit of crop varying per shot. Also much like TG the opening 20th Century logo be over cropped incorrectly but the rest is fine.

Notes: This project is synced to the US (and likely international) BDs for an alternative soundtracks and subs. Also their is one 3 min sequence in the film that is cropped in every HDTV broadcast and the Web and not open matte. The original master appears that way

Video:
A combination of 3 HDTV and 1 Web-DL merged together to create the best version with compression artifacts minimized and other clean up measures preformed.

Audio: (both projects)
1. DTS-HD MA 5.1 (from the Cinema DTS Discs)
2. PCM 2.0 Dolby Surround (from the JPN LD)
3. Dolby Digital 5.1 EX (from the JPN LD)
4. DTS-HD MA 5.1 (from the US BD)
5. Dolby Digital 5.1 (Plissken1138's no narrator fanmix)

Subs:
1. English (from the US BD)
2. spoRv's YAO subs to watch the 1.77 open matte video in 2.35 mode

  The Addams Family - Amazon Prime
Posted by: bendermac - 2019-10-06, 10:49 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (1)

The movie is currently running on Amazon Prime and it looks like they used a master without DNR. The BD wasn't so lucky. Also the colors looks a bit different, compared to the BD.

Any chance someone stumbled upon a WEB-DL?

  The Hateful Eight Extended Miniseries
Posted by: alleycat - 2019-10-05, 08:13 PM - Forum: Released - Replies (24)

[Image: WvuCnjv.png]

This blu ray contains all four episodes of the extended miniseries edition of Hateful Eight.

  • 1080P MPEG4 AVC Video
  • DTS HD 5.1 Audio
  • Optional English Subtitles
  • Sam Jackson's Guide to Glorious 70mm (from the Blu Ray)
  • Beyond The Eight (from the Blu Ray)
  • The Hateful Eight An Inside Look (From the exclusive Target DVD)
  • Press Conference (From Youtube)
  • Cast Interviews (From Youtube)
  • Two Trailers and a TV Spot (From Youtube)

The disc is BD-J, created using professional software with resume function and menus. There is the option to watch individual episodes or the whole series. I would strongly suggest burning this to a physical disc as software blu ray players don't always handle menus well. I have tested this disc extensively but if there are any errors or issues let me know.
