I want to compile a list of blogs and sites, movie related, written by our own members.

The Thing has, as almost all movies, some mistakes, bloopers etc. and many could pass unnoticed, but the shots with computer chess can't... the second could be fixed moving the black queen IIRC, but the first has pieces in completely different positions; it should be replaced with the second shot, just placing the few needed pieces in properly positions.

Anyone want to dare to fix this?

I'm in need of searching for the original FOX run of That 70s Show. I already managed to find about 2/3rds of the show but I'm still missing a chunk of the episodes. The reason being is because they feature music not in current home video and syndication airings and I want to preserve the original versions of the episodes. As of now I'm missing episodes 12-18 of season 1, all of season 2, and a single episode of season 3. If anyone possibly can tell me where to find the rest, please let me know.

Hey I'm Luna, I'm a film/TV preservationist who always loves to chat about that stuff. If you wanna talk to me just give me a PM.

To anyone who has the C-DTS for The Matrix

Is there any chance to get it synced to the UHD BD?

Side question: How does the C-DTS compare to the True-HD 5.1 from the first BD?

Quotes:
2.0 was a total botch job.
Insane contrast - so much detail missing.
There are many scenes that are still too yellow.
Some scenes just look so weird that I distrust the whole thing.


...
The person who did the scan had this to say about the print:
“I think many people will be surprised that their memory of the film doesn't match what is actually was in the cinema, it had a very blown-out, almost bleach bypass look in many scenes, with white burned out skies and a high contrast look.”


High contrast look - this don't mean that contrast must be pumped that much to insanity?

Maybe someone can fix it...
35mm V2 is released for Christmas 2015.
I think it would be sacrilege to leave it in this shape.
And of course to leave All scratches, dirt, and other damage in.

I'm trying to find the most complete version of Bullet in the head with english subtitles. The dvd I have is only about 125 mintues long. Which release is the most complete and where can I find it? Also is the Fortune Star Blu-Ray any good?

Hello you all,

This is my first post here. I'm sorry if this was discussed already in another thread. If so, please someone point me in the right direction and I'll delete this post. 
I've been using Handbrake to make my mkv files smaller and keep a good quality but I can't seem to understand how the compression in that program works. Here's an example: I added a 12 GB mkv file to Handbrake, compressed the file using x265 and at the end, the resulting file was 1.22 GB! I was like "no way, that's way too compressed, quality is probably shit now". Thing is, I couldn't tell the files apart, the PQ on the 1.22 Gb file was terrific (well, at least in my computer, I'll probably notice the difference when I watch it in a 4K TV).
So I decided to use the exact same settings on another 12 GB mkv file (same size but completely different file). And when the process was over, the file was 5 GB. Ok, not bad, but how come one file results in 1.22 GB and the other in 5 GB if I used the exact same settings and they're the same file size? Btw, the file that resulted in 1.22 GB is a much longer movie. So it doesn't make sense. 

PS: Yes, I'm a complete newbie to this.

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.
