  UTOPIA Open-Matte
Posted by: HaganeNoYoshi - 2018-11-18, 11:17 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (3)

Hey guys. It is the first time I post here, so please forgive me if I say something dumb or if someone else already had this idea.

So, let me tell you how did I come to have this idea: While browsing around the web, me and a friend found a Spanish dub version of UTOPIA (we are mexicans, so we found it interesting), but I noticed something interesting: It was Open-Matte. Checking the Blu-Ray and the video files we had, we noticed it was not the case for the original version of it.
So, my idea was to mount the english audio on the Open-Matte spanish video. Problem is, the Spanish broadcast has cut scenes, so, it's not that simple.
I guess it'd be still possible to do by putting the spanish and english scenes together so nothing gets lost, but it'd imply to have multiple aspect ratios in one file, which might be annoying to some people.
Also, because most of the spanish broadcast apisodes are in 720p, they'd have to be upscaled to match the BRRip version, and also, they'll have to be edited to remove the channel's logo.

This is no more than a early stage idea, and I just wanted to share it with you to see if you'd like to see this project done.
And, of course, any help wuld be received gladly, for as I'm not an expert when it comes to fan edit, but even without help, I think I can do something.

Thanks a lot for reading.

  wrap mediainfo inside "hide" tag
Posted by: spoRv - 2018-11-16, 11:36 PM - Forum: Announcements - Replies (5)

Mediainfo is very important, yet too long (and when quoted, even longer!)

I hereby propose to wrap it inside the "hide" tag - at the moment, it should be made manually... how?

add [ hide ] (without spaces) at the beginning, and [ /hide ] (also wihout spaces) at the end... take a look at this post code to see better.

  Evil Dead Nightmare Reimagined Sync?
Posted by: LucasGodzilla - 2018-11-16, 06:51 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (1)

With the release of "The Evil Dead: A Nightmare Reimagined" by Mondo earlier this year, has anyone has ever experimentally tried to sync up the new soundtrack with the movie?

I was editing an upcoming Evil Dead review of mine when I stumbled onto this vinyl release and I almost instantly became fascinated by it because, having downloaded a rip of each of the separate tracks, I've found that the audio still seems to sync up more often than not. It's certainly not a perfect match, but that may be due to a mismatch in frame rate or my placement or even just the fact that the music no longer syncs up the way it did with the original score.

Here's one test video with just some tweaking with the volume.
Here's another test video where I not only tweaked with the volume but took a few soundbites of Ash and Cheryl and dubbed over the original audio.
These are merely rough tests more than anything else.

So again, out of curiosity, has anyone here tried to do a full score sync-up with this themselves?
Also, side-note does anyone have any version of the movie's audio with the voices and sounds isolated from the original score?

  Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - telecine regrade
Posted by: spoRv - 2018-11-13, 01:25 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (9)

I always felt HP3 was kinda... "wrong"... then, when I had the chance to get the telecine version, presto! And so, as suspected, its colors was really better - far from perfect, due to the bad quality and process used to capture it, still very similar to trailers, and... "right"! Big Grin

And, because "a picture is worth a thousand words", without much further ado, here you can see an example:

[Image: HP3-regraded-as-TC-090932.jpg]

Oh, how much I prefer the regrade, and you?

BD Vs BD regraded as telecine:
http://www.framecompare.com/image-compar...n/JB92CNNU

Note: even if there is no open matte version around (AFAIK, but, please, prove me wrong!), it's possible to get an UAR version with very tiny slices of image on top and bottom, thanks to open matte pan&scan WEB version; also, in at least one shot, telecine has a bit more image on a side - dunno if/how can I get it right, but I wanted to let you know.

I have managed to find out a regrade setting (without using another source as a reference) similar to this one, and applied to HP6, and results are quite nice (if there is some interest, it will be matter for a new thread).

Now, questions are: do you like this telecine-based regraded? And, if so, which other episodes need to be eventually regraded, using similar settings (read: snow, clouds, fog should be white-ish and not green blah blah blah)

  Tom and Jerry: The CinemaScope Years
Posted by: FrankT - 2018-11-12, 11:28 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - No Replies

Following on from my Tom and Jerry isolated scores idea, I thought I should like to make a Blu-ray of all the CinemaScope Tom and Jerry cartoons, with options for stereo and isolated soundtracks where available. The reason is simple: because I never got a copy of the cartoons with the complete picture - all I had was the Complete Classic Collection DVDs in which all the CS cartoons were cropped, and all unrestored, some of them censored. Also it doesn't have "Busy Buddies". Sad To my knowledge, few other releases apart from the Spotlight Collection have these shorts in their original format.

If the WB Kids YouTube is anything to go by, Digital HD versions of these shorts exist somewhere, but I haven't been able to find them. It may be that I have to use HDTV recordings for this, if indeed there are any. I should consider upscaling as a last resort only.

Most of these shorts have Perspecta Stereo soundtracks - does anyone know if these are preserved?

There was a brief spin-off toward the end of the MGM cartoon studio's existence, Spike and Tyke - I'd like to have these preserved if possible.

What I'd like is to have options for almost all of the CS shorts. Any help on these would be most appreciated.

a: Produced simultaneously in both the standard Academy format and in CinemaScope
i: Isolated score available
r: Remake of a previous cartoon; comparison video?
s: Perspecta Stereo

  • Touché, Pussy Cat! (a, i)

Hello all!

I'm suuuuuuuper beyond ridiculously excited to say that very local to me, there will be a 35mm projected print of Die Hard just after Christmas! Saw this last year in theaters (digital projection) but this has me waiting impatiently for that date to come!

So... keep an eye out... there may be an 35mm print of this film coming to your neck of the woods!

  Which PC to chose?
Posted by: Beber - 2018-11-11, 02:13 PM - Forum: Everything else... - Replies (18)

Hi, guys.

I'm considering to buy a new PC, and I'm looking at these 2 :

https://www.darty.com/nav/achat/informat...8_1_s.html
https://www.darty.com/nav/achat/informat...1_012.html

The idea is to replace my, what, 7 year-old PC (https://www.darty.com/nav/achat/informat...0-195.html). It's basically for encoding HD videos, from Blu-ray and UHD to HD conversion, so I'm looking for faster encoding than what I have now. I also have that one, more recent (https://www.darty.com/nav/achat/informat...c-780.html), which is apparently faster than my old i5 even though it is an i3 only.
So I'm seeking for advice to chose between these two i7 above. Which one has the better processor, the better RAM, the better graphics, etc.? I'm not a project maker, but with a new PC, I'm considering to give another shot at Davinci Resolve. That's not the criteria, just something in the back of my mind. It's mostly for encoding purposes, I'm not a gamer at all. I have so many external hard drives that the more USB connexions the better. Fot that last criteria I can see which one has the upper hand for myself, but I have no knowledge in processors quality and frequency, combined with Nvidia or Intel for graphics, DDR4 RAM, etc.
