Hi everyone 
I've discovered this forum thanks to a post in Originaltrilogy.com: I was lookin' for a regraded version of Aliens (hate the greenish tint of the bluray). I've followed PDB's project, and here I am. I don't have much experience with video editing, mostly audio muxing of italian tracks - yep, italians love their dubbing, it's like a side passion (we know most voice actors by name) - or upmixes.
The recent flow of 35mm restorations is incredibly fascinating to me. I've been lucky enough to see lots of masterpieces in the theater (Indy and the Last Crusade, E.T., the Goonies, Army of Darkness, Starship Troopers) but I wish I had seen much more, and I truly believe the perfect restoration should always aim to reach this final goal: recreate the original experience. If that means havin' some grain, some speckles, even cigarette burns in the corner... I don't mind. And of course color grading is very important, and often overlooked.
Glad to be here, gonna browse some threads!

Should I add 5.1 upmixes for my SDU4 decodes in projects? |

Whenever I can get my hands on a Laserdisc audio for a project, I tend to upmix it with my Dolby SDU4 hardware decoder. I also tend to upmix that decoded audio (which is 4 channels: Left, Center, Right and Back) to 5.1 and add both the original upmix and the 5.1 to the project.
Today I've been questioning whether that makes sense. Each of these two tracks eats a few GB of space and while that isn't terrible, I was thinking that the track provides convenience at the very best and bloat at the worst, since anyone can easily do such an upmix themselves if they are of the mind to do so.
I was also wondering how most hardware will deal with 4-track audio and thought it would probably be automatically upmixed anyway, which further made me question the need to include the 5.1.
Thoughts? Opinions? Should I keep including the 5.1?

German Speakers Who Can Help With Translation? |

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

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 |

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

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.
