Hello to all!

I've been looking into fan restorations of films for a while. I discovered fanres a few days ago when looking into Marvel films, as I'm doing a marathon at the moment and was wondering if there were alternate copies available out there.

I'm intrigued by the projects I've seen on here and will do whatever I can do to contribute. I don't have much to offer but am happy to discuss film and restoration with anyone willing to! I did a Master's paper on old film restoration and have been fascinated by the process for years.

Looking forward to being part of the community!

Hello everyone,

I am George from Athens. I started collecting old Disney movies for my daughter and found the forum while searching "The Sword In the Stone" OAR release, a few days ago. The amount of effort and work you have done is astonishing. 

I am a VFX professional so I am all about digital video for 20 years now. Before YouTube I was also part of a scene release group, capturing and encoding music videos. If anyone needs any help for any projects let me know. I don't have any resources but I can help with image processing, encoding, syncing, etc. I will keep an eye on the Requests, proposals, help board too.

Best regards

Guys,

I want your help. I have Death Machine 1994 German DVD, I love this movie and my version is uncut. But I want find right color grading.

This is my version:



Like you see in some scenes there are too much blue color.  I know it is BD version but I prefere more my DVD.

Here are screens from, I think US DVD 4:3

In the scene with the elevator, the color is most different.





So my request is, if someone have US DVD or Laserdisc or any VHS, please give some screens for comparison.

Hey everyone

I need some help, as I'm either doing something wrong and/or missing something.

What I want to accomplish is take my 2012 Blu-ray of "The Terminator" and add the mono mix.

I've read the thread HERE on Original Trilogy, and I've eventually aquired the following mixes which all run for 1:47:24.

- T1 mono 1995 Image LD Team Blu.dts
- T1 mono sync Chace Remix 1985.aac
- T1 mono sync 2001 SE DVD.aac


So, since I have them, I thought "Why not add them all to give me the ultimate choice on the fly. I want to also keep in the 5.1 remix."

I am using tsmuxer to do this. It works, but it's out of sync. The reason being is that the MGM Lion Logo is not present on the 00000.m2ts file. It goes straight to the Orion logo. When I put the Blu-ray into a player, of course it shows the MGM logo. On the disc. this is a separate track, it seems.

So, I tried adding a delay that is suggested on the OT thread, which is +8950. I would think if anything, I need to go -8950. -8950 gives me better results, so I just need to know the correct delay which I will have to work out.

Then, this will leave me with a blank screen while the audio for the MGM logo appears. Not ideal, but it gives me an alternative choice, I can live with the MGM logo, but how do I add it from the other stream... there's actually the following streams on the disc.

00000.m2ts - the film itself, starts with the Orion logo and runs 1:47:03
00001.m2ts - lasts for 1 second and is just blank
00002.m2ts - MGM logo that lasts for 7 seconds
00003.m2ts - MGM logo that starts with a cats eye that lasts for 16 seconds

Now, if I go through TMPGEnc and add the main title, I get the full MGM logo and film in one track - 1:47:18 - but I also get an error saying all audio tracks can be decoded, and I'm left with Spanish and other languages. I can output the video, so I can get the raw video, and I can add the mono mixes - but I lose the 5.1 mix, which seems to be only 1:47:03 long.

Is there an easier way to do this? It's been driving me nuts all day.

Hey everyone

Came here in search to PM someone about something I saw him post on another site (but I can't register for that site due to a technical issue they need to sort). Anyway, had a browse around and think I'll stay. I love the passion here.

I've been cleaning up audio on VHS conversions of 80's/90's wrestling broadcasts origiinally recorded on VHS, with mostly positive results. I may just stick around and help/get help where possible.

I'm a dab hand in TMPGEnc Authoring Works and I'm starting to learn Adobe Premiere too.

who has a link for the goonies laserdisc slightly extended version? i am working on a edit

This may seem like a noob question but what's the easiest way to rip DVDs and Blu-Rays to digital?

Hi,

I am very happy to finally do my first post here. I love what you all are doing here!! I hope I can contribute in some way in the future! Thanks for having me!

Hello all, I am looking to rip a couple of audio tracks from a couple DVDs I own... One has an Isolated Score Track... And the other I want to try and extract discrete channels of 5.1 (AC3 and DTS tracks) for a small snippet of the film for another personal project I'm working on.

On my old PC, I used DVD Audio Extractor which I had great success with once upon a time... I am on a Mac Mini Currently (with and external USB DVD drive), but haven't had much luck with the same program.

I do realize that there is a paid version of that program for Mac, but I'm wondering... What is another good program for ripping DVD audio for Mac?

Bonus points if it can rip Lossless DVD-A tracks as well.

This was the first project I did and the menu structure has evolved slightly since then, plus for V1 I didn't use the original Criterion chapter stops and finally when I did the colour correction I applied just one LUT to the entire project, this time I have redone the correction using 47 LUTs. 

• 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 HDTV broadcast, with scene by scene colour correction
  
• Original chapter stops used on the Laserdisc
  
• English 5.1 EAC3 from the HDTV Broadcast
  
• Commentary track with the Directors The Hughes Brothers, Larenz Tate, Keith David, Lisa Rinzler, Dr Todd Boyd and Ari Merretazon
  
• English, French, German and Spanish Subtitles
  
• Deleted Scenes and Storyboard sequences
  
• Vintage Featurette
  
• Trailer and TV Spots
  
• The Real Anthony, Ari Merretazon, Today
  
• Dr Boyd's Guide to Blaxploitation
  
• Al Green in Pimpstrumental Color
  
• Issac Hayes Walk On By Music Video
  
• Laserdisc Credits
