How can I convert chapter times from a 25fps movie to properly use them in 23,976fps?
Are there any tools that can do such a conversion? Google doesn't really help, as I only get Fortnite result for whatever reasons

Thanks in advance

Ok so... I took it upon myself to make perfect restorations (in HD) of the 3 infamous Regular Show Season 1 episodes that curse. These 3 episodes are The Power (episode 1), Free Cake (episode 5), and Meat Your Maker (episode 6). They originally aired only for a brief time uncensored and were never aired uncut again. The official Blu-ray was censored as well. What made this project even tougher to accomplish was the fact that the particular scenes that involved cursing were dubbed to "ticked" in stead of "pissed", but what was worse was the actual animation was changed as well to sync to "ticked". Their mouths were changed to match the censored words is basically what I'm saying. So, Here I present to you the original, Uncensored 3 episodes in full, glorious HD. Was a work of love and took a bit of playing around to per-fect all 3. These are now perfect and ready for the fans.

I used the official blu-rays as the base and the old original DVDs (I had to track these down and purchase them just for the audio Haha) for the uncensored AC3 audio (blu-rays only featured AC3 as an option anyway) and used rare WEB-DLs as the video source to replace the brief cursing scenes in HD. I also used smart rendering to make these as lossless as possible.

List of fixes:

Episode 1 - The Power: Rigby says "How in the H are we gonna fix this S?!" (1:48) and then Rigby says "But he's gonna be pissed!" (7:38)

Episode 5 - Free Cake: Mordecai says "Benson's gonna get pissed so we shouldn't" (5:30)

Episode 6 - Meat Your Maker: Mordecai says "You pissed me off..." (2:21)


Here is a video guide I made to show the Blu-ray censorship and then my fixes:

***Anyone interested in these fixes can PM me.***

Looking for guidance on how I can make my own open matte from two different WEB sources to remove the logos.

Hey everyone my name is David, I'm from Berlin, so sorry for my bad English.
I bought the three Japanese Star Wars Special Collection Laserdiscs and plan them to rip/capture.
I have no technical knowledge about it.
Can you give me recommendations on where I can get the best information?
Many thanks in advance

Just watched Wild Hogs, and another movie came to my mind.

IIRC it was about four (or maybe three) friends motorbikers-wannabes... one had a motorbike, but the others have lesser interesting vehicles; I guess one was a scooter, but can't remember the others.

Have I imagined it?

When released in Japan this samurai epic directed by Takashi Miike was approximately 20 minutes longer. Every DVD and Blu Ray release outside of Japan has been the shorter International Cut. Unfortunately the Japanese blu ray is difficult to find and is not English friendly.

• BD50 Blu Ray with menus, background video, pop up video and resume
  
• 1080P AVC Extended Edition taken from the official out of print Japanese Blu Ray
  
• Japanese DTS HD 5.1
  
• English and Japanese SDH Subtitles
  
• Interview with Takashi Miike with English Subtitles
  
• Japanese Trailer, International Trailer and Teasers/TV Spots
  

Hey everyone,

I've been capturing bit-perfect PCM using Bronan's guide (Reaper set to 44/24 and then exporting at 44/16). I've got some questions about editing.

Although I capture in Reaper, I've been editing out side breaks/silence between discs using Audacity (a program I know a lot better). I'm wondering if that is messing up my files at all.

I've got two options for editing:

Option 1: Capture in Reaper at 44/24. Edit out side breaks/disc swaps in Reapar. Export edited WAV file in 44/16.
Option 2: Capture in Reaper at 44/24. Export file in 44/16. Put it into Audacity (which seems to upsample file from 44/16 to 44/32). Edit in Audacity. Export from Audacity at 44/16.

Will either option impact the bit-perfect nature of the audio itself? I know upsampling the khz is bad but is there any problem with upsampling the bit depth? 

Any help would be great. Thank you!

Hi All,

Sorry this is probably a daft question

I'm starting to do some projects using PAL footage and I'm planning on changing them to 23.976 fps as part of the cleanup process. First of all is everything shot at 24/23.976 fps? A lot of these projects are Italian genre movies, some TV movies/miniseries financed by RAI, but still shot on 35mm.

Second I have no idea how to tell whether I need to do pitch correction or not when adjusting the audio. I know some people can tell just by listening but I can't at all, 
most likely because a) I wear a hearing aid so I'm used to things not sounding natural, b) I'm in PAL land and I'm possibly used to things sounding wrong and c) for Italian dubbed audio it's not as if I have an ideal reference to make a comparison against. 

So generally speaking, for a movie taken from PAL VHS or even PAL DVD, is it usually necessary to correct the pitch or not when adjusting the audio to match 23.976 fps? I was planning on doing the conversion with meGUI. 

Thanks all

Today's tidbit re: H.266 codec, which will revolutionize the home media market:

https://newsletter.fraunhofer.de/-viewon...4RELLZBp/1

Quote:After devoting several years to its research and standardization, Fraunhofer HHI (together with partners from industry including Apple, Ericsson, Intel, Huawei, Microsoft, Qualcomm, and Sony) is celebrating the release and official adoption of the new global video coding standard H.266/Versatile Video Coding (VVC).

This new standard offers improved compression, which reduces data requirements by around 50% of the bit rate relative to the previous standard H.265/High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) without compromising visual quality. In other words, H.266/VVC offers faster video transmission for equal perceptual quality. Overall, H.266/VVC provides efficient transmission and storage of all video resolutions from SD to HD up to 4K and 8K, while supporting high dynamic range video and omnidirectional 360° video.

Quote:Today H.265 enjoys widespread use on Apple devices like the iPhone, as it’s the default codec used by video capture within the stock Camera app. What exactly can users look forward to once H.266/VVC gains wide adoption in the future? Namely a huge reduction in data requirements.

Fraunhofer HHI notes that while H.265/HEVC requires approximately 10 gigabytes of data to transmit a 90-minute 4K UHD video, H.266/VVC requires only 5 gigabytes, half of the data required for the same video quality.

The codec, which features a 500+ page standard specification, was specifically designed with high-resolution 4K and 8K streaming in mind. With such a reduction in data requirements, users will be able to capture higher quality images without having to significantly increase storage space. It also means that streaming high-quality videos will be considerably less demanding on mobile data.

I am looking to try and do a fan edit/restoration of a film I fell in love with to inject deleted scenes I have looked around and have not seen anyone do it yet. I have deleted scenes that was were not released via physical media by cowering  the world wide web of social media accounts of this film for every region. My questions is what video editing software and or sound editing software is recommended for the following.

1. Modifying frame by frame video to remove watermarks.
2. Audio mixing 5.1 or 7.1 DTS audio track to extend them so the added scenes seam stream-less sly.
3. Color Grading possibly

Can this all be done with one video editing software or do you have to use multiple usually on these fan edit projects? Any insight/help would be appreciated for a noob. I am thinking of just buying Final Cut Pro at the moment but would appreciate any tips from those who have put the sweat and tears already.

Thanks
