Specs were announced during these days... I read something about, and they seem both great consoles.

Even if my kids have PS4, I decided to wait for the PS5, due to the lack of UHD-BD player - that is present in both 9th gen consoles (as well as current Xbox).

So, in a way, it could be a nice deal - a gaming machine with an UHD-BD player included.

Opinions?

Dear Audio experts,

As some of you know, I have a 16mm Retroscan film scanner. I swapped out the 720p camera that came with it and replaced it with a 2K camera, so it captures some pretty good images. However, I'm not happy with the quality of the audio I am getting from AEO Light. So I recently tried capturing the audio using my film projector. That audio does sound much better but needs syncing to the video. Like all film projectors, this one is no longer brand new and judging by the issues I'm experiencing when trying to sync it, I'm guessing that it no longer runs at a constant 24 fps.

Normally, I would sync Audio from a laserdisc or DVD version of the film (that I do know how to do), but this is a TV Print of Airplane! so there are some alternate and extended scenes not in the home video version. Somebody did kindly share a TV Capture of Airplane which I may be able to use as an audio source, but I'm pretty sure this 16mm version is slightly different in at least one or two scenes so I'd really like to be able to use the print audio...

I'm pretty sure After Effects is not the best software for this, but I'll use it to demonstrate the problem:



The top waveform is the AEO Light version, which syncs nicely, but doesn't sound very good at all. The bottom is from the projector. If I match the peaks and valleys at the start of the reel, it drifts out of sync from there. If I use the "Time Stretch" Effect to ensure that both the beginning and the end of the audio matches, it still drifts in the middle...

If anyone would like to play with the audio and video in question, you can download it here:

Airplane R1 Projector.wav is from somebody else's Elmo 16 CL projector.
Airplane R1.wav is from AEO Light (you will probably need to move it forward 26 frames for it to sync with the video)
Airplane R1v2.wav is from my Elmo 16 CL projector (and should be slightly better quality than the other projector)
Airplane R1 Preview.mkv is the video (plus audio from the first projector which I almost, but not quite managed to sync using the time stretch effect to stretch it by 100.908 %).

I'm hoping somebody can advise me on how to sync the audio from my projector (v2) to the video (which software to use and how to go about it) and/or how to get tbetter results from AEO Light. (Unfortunately, the video preview above does not include the soundtrack, but if you need a version that has it, let me know and I'll create a 10 minute sample for you to play with.)

yours hopefully,

Rob.

So how are things in your countries? They've shut down just about everything in Poland and people were panic buying stuff 2 and 3 days ago. It seems to have calmed down a bit, but almost everyone I know who has an office job will be working remotely for at least the next two weeks, including me. The number of cases is rising rapidly, but so far it's nowhere near as bad as in western Europe.

Like its companion film Flesh for Frankenstein, Blood for Dracula has never had a perfect HD release. The Australian Blu Ray is an upscale, the Japanese Blu Ray has optical censoring and the German Blu Ray was extremely limited, contained significant dirt + dust and had lossy audio.

The video source for this project is the German Blu Ray, with filters applied to remove most of the dirt and dust without touching the rest of the picture.

• 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 German Blu Ray with dust and dirt removal
  
• Original chapter stops used on the Criterion DVD
  
• English 1.0 Dolby Digital taken from the German Blu Ray
  
• English 2.0 DTS taken from the Australian Blu Ray
  
• Criterion audio commentary taken from the DVD
  
• English Subtitles
  
• Original Theatrical Trailer
  
• Still Gallery taken from the Criterion DVD

Hello everyone, I'm new one but from some times I love read and watch works from people who can't tolerate bad colors on our lovely movies.

I can't watch new version on BD my favorite movies like Aliens or Blade Runner , I hate teal I'm big DVD collector:

https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipN-...ZmM3FUbnlB

But some time ago I discover versions of some my movies in fullscreen in Laserdisc, it is only LDRip but T2 Special Edition is one of best feelings when I watched (h264, 4 gb). But I wanna ask, if someone can help and rip laserdisc PAL of Predator 1987 in fullscreen???

Greetings

Soon I write more about my feelings about movies.

It's hard to think of any action film from the 80s and 90s that hasn't been lambasted by movie critics. Try finding a good review from a critic for an action movie that isn't Die Hard, ALIENS, Terminator, and some of the more high profile action movies. You'd have a better time trying to find bigfoot. Movies like Timecop, Last Action Hero, Cobra, Tango and Cash, etc. were not received well by movie critics. Even today action classics are described as "cheesy" and "dumb" by reviewers and critics. What are your thoughts? Do you think these movies deserve more respect?

Saw this on Facebook:

I'm involved in a run of fully assembled and flashed Domesday86 Duplicator kits: these can be used to directly digitize your LaserDisc media and even VHS tapes! You can find more information about how it works and what it is at https://www.domesday86.com/?page_id=74

We've a large number of slots open, so we're hoping to  be able to meet the demands of the community for not only kits, but also completely assembled, individual parts such as the LD-V4x00 calibration board, and DomesDay86 duplicator board.

Let me note that I'm open to having conversations on a individual basis for larger or special projects if other considerations need to be made: please contact me as opposed to staying silent!

Price List

$400 = 1x Fully assembled and programmed DomesDay86 kit (assembled and  soldered DdD board, FX3, DE0 FPGA, and LD-V4x00 calibration board)
$267 = 1x Fully soldered DomesDay86 duplicator board.
$130 = 1x Calibration board

Please note the following:
- We will ship anywhere locally or internationally (from the Pacific Coast of the US).
- Prices do not include shipping (we'll request a second payment for  shipping and materials once the package is ready to be sent to you).
- While we're trying to take weeks at most, please plan around not receiving a unit for several months.

-- Why such a long lead time?
We're setting expectations to give buffer time to the fine chap soldering and assembling all this so they don't burn out, stress out, or have a passion and hobby meant to help the community, turn into a chore. This is also meant to plan around further stoppages or slow downs in shipping from China due to the Coronavirus.

Please message me if you're Interested!

PS This run has the blessing of Simon Inns (though he is not responsible for it nor involved in any way) who is the creator and primary developer of the DomesDay86 project. He also noted that "for a full  stack of boards ready-to-roll; it's a very reasonable price imho" See attached screenshot for further confirmation.

So I've started work on this project. Both of these movies have only been released on VHS and LD, the source for each is the LD with uncompressed audio. A fanres user kindly transferred the first movie from laserdisc, but the disc had some pretty bad laser rot in places. Been playing around with several manual and automatic filters and I'm pretty happy with it now. The picture has been zoomed slightly and re-centered to remove the black bars, cross colour and dot crawl removal, noise filter, dirt and laser rot clean and some sharpening.

Next stage is to work on Part 2, although that doesn't seem to have any laser rot. 

The plan is to produce a blu ray with both movies on, both with uncompressed English audio and Italian compressed audio, plus English subtitles and a few extra features like trailers.

Hello out there,
I am looking for the extended ABC Television cut of Beyond the Poseidon Adventure (1979) which has over 20 minutes of footage. If anyone could help me out on getting this cut, that would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
