I like very much the Umatic regrade: https://fanrestore.com/thread-2648.html

Sadly, it's only 720p... there is a 2160p UHD-BD version, but its grading is not that great - at the contrary, IMHO - so I thought to regrade it (plus D-Theater) using the Umatic colors, to get a closer cinematic experience about colors and contrast, and a bigger frame size (most of the times).

So, there are basically three situations:

• D-Theater has a bigger horizontal frame size than UHD-BD - so the UHD-BD will be "slapped" onto the D-Theater - around 80%
  
  
  http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/135553
   
  
• Blu-ray has a bigger vertical frame size than D-Theater (and UHD-BD) - so the UHD-BD will be "slapped" onto the Blu-ray - around 20%
  
  
  http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparis.../picture:2
   
  
• D-Theater has a bigger horizontal frame size than UHD-BD AND more details - so the D-Theater will be "slapped" onto the UHD-BD - remaining few shots
  
  
  http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparis.../picture:1
  

Following the idea of the [/url][url=https://fanrestore.com/thread-97.html]x264 BD compliant "perfect" settings, I thought it was time to do the same for x265 and Ultra HD Blu-ray.
Studied a bit here and there, and came to the following settings:

• these settings are good for 1080p or 2160p video
  
• pay attention to the BD size: actual ones are 23.3GiB for BD-25, 46.6GiB for BD-50, 93.2GiB for BD-XL 100
  
• allow about 7% overhead for the .m2ts container - for example, total file size (video+audio+subs) excluding eventual menus would be around 21.75GiB for a BD-25, 43.55GiB for a BD-50, 87.09GiB for a BD-XL 100
  
• to retain grain, better to use as much bitrate as possible - the one the disc allow to
  
• max bitrate allowed for UHD-BD video is 100mbps, so you should be careful only if using a BD-XL 100 and if audio plus subs tracks total bitrate is over 9000mbps, you should lower video bitrate accordingly, in particular pay attention to --vbv-maxrate
  
• to improve speed, you can use for pass 1 a "simpler" version of the final file, for example without noise reduction, grain plate, color grading, but it should be otherwise identical - same frame numbers, same resolution etc.
  

This is for the first time completely restored documentary film in Color from WWII.

Memphis Belle: The 75th Anniversary of the 25th Mission

The Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress (1944)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036152/

The Cold Blue (2018)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8693770/
Directed By Erik Nelson, Film Features Restored Footage And Outtakes From William Wyler’s 1944 Documentary “The Memphis Belle: A Story Of A Flying Fortress”

The Cold Blue, a new documentary directed by Erik Nelson.  The original Kodachrome was scanned by NARA staff in 4K resolution using our Spirit scanner.  While the color of the originals remains beautiful, the film has shrunken over time, requiring careful handling and slow scanning speeds to avoid damage.  In total, it took 80 hours to scan the reels and generated over 80 TB worth of data.

To create the 72 minute long documentary, Nelson used the archival footage from Wyler’s outtakes along with some original footage shot in Berlin during July of 1945.  The footage has been restored by Ernest Savage and Paul Marengo.




An added benefit to this project is that Nelson was able to use footage from the original outtakes to reconstruct Wyler’s Memphis Belle: Story of a Flying Fortress. The surviving copies of the film are not a good representation of the film that was shown in 1944, so utilizing NARA’s 4K scans, he has painstakingly reassembled Wyler’s film with vibrant color.  Over 500 individual shots were perfectly positioned over the final soundtrack heralding a new kind of restoration – where a film is recut from scratch using primary sources to preserve the exact content of the original.


The Cold Blue will be screening alongside The Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress at AFI Fest in Hollywood on November 11. 2018. The film will air on HBO in June 2019.

Assuming the following:

• UHD-BD uses HEVC for UHD while BD uses AVC (generally) for HD
  
• UHD 10bit needs 1.25x bitrate than 8bit
  
• HEVC needs down to 0.5x bitrate to get the same AVC (subjective) quality
  
• I guess generally HEVC requires around 0.65x bitrate of AVC
  
• so, for each 1mbps 8bit AVC = from 1x0.5x1.25 = 0.625mpbs to 1x0.65x1.25 = 0.8125mpbs HEVC 10bit
  
• UHD = 4x HD = 4x0.625=2,5x up to 4x0.8125=3.25x
  

For years I've been confused. Whenever I watch RotLA I complain about a missing scene. Details of which can be found here: http://theraider.net/films/raiders/deleted_scenes.php

The last deleted scene mentioned on that page is Indy's periscope ride... except I remember seeing it. I remember finding it odd that the submarine never went below periscope depth, and I have a vivid recollection of Indy waking as they approach the island, his hand wrapped in his whip's coils and he coughs on some sea water.

Did this actually appear in a broadcast (maybe cable) or a VHS release? It has been making me crazy for years and I'd like to see the scene again (possibly restored).

Edit: To be clear. My memory is that his whip was coiled up with his arm through it, nothing like how it looks in the graphic novel. So that's not what I'm remembering.

After a while, I've found some ways to convert HDR 10bit bt.2020 video to SDR 8bit bt.709
Don't know which is better, so if anyone, after have tried them, want to chime in, it will help!

Script 1A

I was wondering if anyone here could sync the 2.0 and the 5.1 mixes from the 1997 DVD Goldeneye to the 2160p WebRip that is circulating the net. From what I read online, the mixes are different (more LFE than the later releases)

here are the links to the tracks

here is the link to the Dolby 2.0 Pro Logic Mix: http://www.mediafire.com/file/i1myne284c...tal%29.ac3

Here is the link to the 5.1 Dolby Digital mix: http://www.mediafire.com/file/8ylmng65s3...tal%29.ac3

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"!

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?
