DrDre Colormatching Problems |

Need some help from a more tech minded person. I was using Dre's program the last few days just fine. I wake up this morning and now getting:
Initialize component instance failed
and then
Could not access the MCR component cache.
when I hit the CM 1.2 exe. I removed everything and reload (even as admin), still doesn't work. Changed the directory from the default Program File (x86) and still no go. There were no updates last night to Windows, no Matlab updates.
When I look up the MCR error I see a bunch of different solutions that don't seem to work.

Hey,
just wanted to introduce myself briefly..
I have been doing "some videostuff" since I was a kid - went all the way from analog tape stuff to nowadays AI Upscaling interests, tweaked old Celeron motherboards "back then" for realtime MPEG Encoding, hacked my DVD Player to support SVCDS, still have some capture cards lying around (pinnacle DC... anyone?) and had some routes into the professional domain. Mostly its hobby and is flanked by a strong interest in computers in general as well as Audiorelated stuff...
At the moment, my focus is on "what to do with all this old stuff" So I found this forum... I am investigating AI-Uspcaling, doing some betatests for some commercial products, would love to find time to get my capture rig out again and I am thinking of trayning my own models for restauration... Had some Linux machines back then, I am able to fiddle Win7Pro on a Server by tweaking the install media, so I know my way around, but it´s not daily business, so some things just take time...
Let´s see what can be done with "the old stuff".
Thanx for having me here!

Mortal Kombat Laserdisc Audio? |

An upcoming project is a special edition of Mortal Kombat and I'd love to include the DTS track from the laserdisc - as the blu ray has a different DTS track. Unfortunately it's very expensive - I don't suppose anyone has it and can capture it?

Stephen King’s The Stand Uncompressed Laserdisc Audio |

The 1994 Mini Series of Stephen King’s The Stand was released on Blu Ray with a 1080p remaster, much to the surprise of the Director who did not think it was possible. The video is a huge improvement over the DVD but unfortunately the audio is the same AC3 track from the DVD, likely to keep the disc space low to maximise the video bitrate. I managed to get hold of the laserdisc and sent it to williarob who kindly captured the uncompressed audio (massive thanks to williarob!). In order to fit this onto the discs I have had to compress the video slightly.
- 2 x BD25 with menus, pop up menus and resume (I went with 2 x BD25 instead of a BD50 as they tend to be much more expensive, especially printable discs)
- Uncompressed 2.0 English Audio
- Audio Commentary track
- English, Danish, Finnish, German, Norwegian, Spanish and Swedish subtitles
- Vintage Making Of

This project started life as the one done by IcePrick, which was the Dragon Dynasty Blu Ray, deinterlaced and decimated back to 23.976 fps (thanks IcePrick!). I then ran it through some mild dust and dirt filters and combined it with the opening and closing credits from the Chinese blu ray, which themselves were run through several filters to try and get them to match the rest of the footage. The whole movie was then regraded with Dr Dre, using the criterion as the source, using over 40 different LUTs. The opening logos were also taken from the Chinese as they were cropped in the Drago Dynasty disc. Unfortunately none of the sources were perfect, so it's never going to be amazing short of a new scan and shot by shot restoration, but I'm still happy with the results.
Massive thanks to CSchmidlapp for providing me with some of the materials, giving me guidance on the different versions and for testing the final video.
• 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 Iceprick project, with scene by scene colour correction
• Original chapter stops used on the DVD
• Cantonese 1.0 Mono LPCM taken from the laserdisc
• Cantonese 2.0 Mono AC3 taken from the Scandanavian DVD
• Audio Commentary by director John Woo and production executive Terence Chang
• English (based on the Criterion translation), French, German and Spanish Subtitles
• Five Deleted Scenes
• Theatrical Trailer
• DVD Credits

Getting MKV to work in Final Cut Pro? |

Hello fanresers!
I'm looking to demux an MKV file in order to separate the video and the audio tracks and import them separately into Final Cut Pro (FCP). I am currently working on a Mac (running macOS 10.13.6) and do not have access to a Windows machine.
FCP does not support MKV files when importing.
The question is how do I losslessly convert the MKV file to something FCP will import?
- I have got MKVToolNix installed, but when demuxing video, it produces a MKV file.
- I have installed AVIDemux, which looks promising, but I wanted to confirm the settings for a lossless extraction.
- I have got ffmpeg downloaded, and I understand it's a command-line based programme. I'm ok with using Terminal for programmes (although if you have a guide you could point me to, I'll take it!), I just wanted to see if anyone else recommends it, as it seems to be the most powerful tool out there.
Thanks folks!

Just wondering if anyone has these of LD and would be ble to capture/share the audio please?
The Shout Blu-rays have a number of issues with their mono mixes (missing parts, noise reduction, wrong pitch). I've managed to pick-up the old MGM dvd's which (I think) are free from the problems with the Shout discs but thought I would see if anyone had the LD's before I start syncing the dvd's to the Blu-rays.
Thanks
Alex

Hey,
Just joined today and I wanted to say hi. I am an editor working in Los Angeles. I'm very impressed by the passion of these projects and the quality of the restoration work. As physical media becomes more boutique, I think these kinds of restorations are essential to keep films available in high quality and as they were originally intended, especially as rights issues become more tricky. I'm happy to see that a lot of the color correction trends of recent years that bring the films away from the original look are being corrected here.
I look forward to participating here in the forums and however else I'm able.
cheers.
