  first UHD-BD project
Posted by: spoRv - 2019-04-30, 01:40 AM - Forum: General technical discussions - Replies (7)

This is something I got in my mind since a (relatively) long time...

As I have no idea how to do that, I should start from scratch. I do not have an UHD-BD player as well, but luckily a friend of mine with one would (should) be happy to be my "project guinea pig"! Big Grin

Said so, first I want to find out some test or demo clips in UHD, to use as source - something possibly interesting, fun, or simply eye candies! Got some ideas, though...

Then, if not encoded in h.265, I'd like to do it following the right settings - that frankly I do not know (yet): for the moment, I'd prefer to leave HDR out of the equation, possibly adding it back in the future.

After that, I plan to make a simple BD folder with TSmuxeR, then fix it with TSM2UHD to make it UHD-BD compliant, and finally burn to a BD-R (BD-25 should suffice for the first time)

So, got some questions:

  1. Has anyone attempted (or released) a project on UHD-BD?
  2. Is someone aware of which h.265 settings I should use to make compliant files?
Answers to this questions would be a nice starting point, but if you have any other thoughts, I'm all ears!

Heart Blood donation
Posted by: spoRv - 2019-04-29, 01:09 PM - Forum: Everything else... - Replies (6)

Today I made my second blood donation - done first four years ago...

Why I have waited so much from the first one - and why I did not make the first before - frankly I don't know... it is a quick, almost painless procedure, but it could save a life, so I decided to make it more frequently - as much as I can.

Please, donate blood, it's very important!

Thanks!

  Subtitle Conversion
Posted by: professorwho - 2019-04-28, 04:59 AM - Forum: Converting, encoding, authoring - Replies (7)

So, I'm making a custom BD of a film (Fate/Stay Night Heaven's Feel 1. presage flower), and using different sources. The video is the IT BD from Dynit which has slightly better compression and has less banding than the JP BD. However, there's no English subtitles. The JP BD has them, and because I know the compressionist in Italy who did it, it has the same timing as the JP BD which makes adding subs for viewing on a PC easy.

However, I prefer to view films off a disc whenever possible. I downloaded the subs of the JP BD, but they're in a file format I'm not familiar with- .SUP

The BD format uses .PGS subtitles, so I was curious- would they need to be converted to make a self-authored disc? And if so, how?

(Also, if I were to do a 1:1 lossless version using the .m2ts file, would I rip it encrypted or unencrypted?)

Sorry for the n00b questions- I've been a PQ snob and finally decided to make custom BDs. (I may be helping out someone do a custom of Suspiria '77, so this would come in handy.)

  Friday the 13th Original Audio Mixes
Posted by: crampedmisfit1990 - 2019-04-28, 02:10 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (25)

So as many of you know, the Friday the 13th films on BD features the original mixes in AC3 form and that is only for Part 1-3. 4 and up are remixes and have multiple added/missing sound effects. I do not know exactly all of them but have heard of some from various sources. My plan is to find the best source for the original mixes and from talking to a few people here and other sites... it seems the VHS tapes would be the best bet. The laserdiscs do not feature digital sound or they would be the best option. Part 6-8 on LD does have digital sound but that does not help us with 1-5. I have just purchased brand new and sealed VHS copies of 1-3 and 6-8. I need 4 and 5 to complete the Paramount series but I will get those when available. Now I need all of these VHS copies captured in a lossless format and synced and I'm sure they will bare much better results than the AC3 audio. Any thoughts?

Did you ever spot any actor/actress cameo, uncredited - not even by IMDB?

  "Dzień dobry, jak się masz"
Posted by: shamar - 2019-04-25, 12:44 AM - Forum: Presentation - Replies (1)

Ok... It's not correctly. I don't even know if it's Polish in "Borat" and why it sounds like "bad Polish" when movie takes place in Kazachstan.  

So I land here coz of workprints and SporV ;Wink (his blog of "master lists") 
Funny: at the end of VHS times I was hunger for wide movie versions but now when realized many of old (4/3 and 16/9) versions were fuller ( than official theatrical cuts) I reversed my mind. 

It is just begin. 

PS - I can hurts english language so treat me softly coz u treat on my dreams... or somethin'  Wink
