Hello from Scotland.
I stumbled across this brillant forum with all of these amazing (and important) film preservation projects. I am blown away with the effort and craft that goes into 'fixing' those original theatrical versions.
I am just a learner but I'm looking forward to being a part of this community and contributing in any way I can to help with restorations.
I have a fast film collection (also film scores) that hopefully will come in handy to all members while fixing/restoration/re-editing of movies.
Thank you.

Which calibration probe to choose? |

Hey, guys.
Having an LCD for monitor and an OLED for TV, videos look quite different, so I'm considering buying a calibration probe so that both would look okay. How did you guys calibrate your PC monitors and TVs? Did you use a calibration probe and, if so, which one? I've been scrolling on this site (in French: https://www.guide-gestion-des-couleurs.c...metre.html), and I'm confused. Is there a difference between a PC monitor and a TV calibrationwise or do these probes work for both? I understand that these come with a calibration software, so a PC would have to be connected to the TV, which is okay for me.

Best format for exporting from Resolve? |

So I have a Prores clip in Resolve I've done some work on, now its time to export. My goal is to get it encoded to 264, but the built in one doesnt leave much room for customizing. What's my best option for export for encoding with Simple x264 with the preferred settings? I was looking at the Uncompressed Quicktime formats but there's quite a few options and I wasn't sure what to pick.

The Shining (1980) - UAR regraded |

I've got the occasion to capture the Italian laserdisc; sadly, it has the last few minutes of side A corrupted... apart that, it is open matte 1.33:1 (more or less); I've noted it has quite a lot more image on top, while missing on bottom (in comparison to DVD); and, no pink tennis ball; so, why don't make an UAR regraded version?
http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/134066
status: prealpha (I can't get rid of the blueish blanket on the left side of the laserdisc - yet, at least)
Opinions?
(note: I know that I have at least another project to make right now, indeed this would eventually start later)

Could a Laserdisc be mastered at NTSC 60.00Hz instead of 59.94? |

Anyone ever encounter a Laserdisc which was sped up to exactly 60.00Hz instead of 59.94? I think that’s the case with an anime series I’m currently trying to sync (details below if you’re curious)*. The Blu-ray audio constantly lags behind the Laserdisc by about 1 millisecond for every 1 second of audio, so I’d have to stretch the LD audio by 60ms or so every minute to keep the audio from drifting out of sync. Sure enough, when I slow the LD audio down by setting the sample rate to 44056Hz (=44100Hz divided by 1.001, just like 60 divided by 1.001 is 59.94) in Sound Forge, the timings stopped drifting.
The Blu-ray is definitely 1080i59.94 and not exactly 1080i60 (according to MediaInfo at least), so I don’t think it’s the one that was mastered at the wrong speed. I’ve never had a problem like this with Laserdisc audio before and I haven’t changed anything in my capture setup, so I don’t think it was a problem with my capture either.
So to sync this audio, I’m first going to set the sample rate at 44056Hz (without actually resampling to this rate) and then resample to 48kHz instead of 44.1, since I’ll need to get 48Hz for BD compatibility anyway, and I don’t want to resample the audio twice. This will mean no 44.1kHz for this audio, but oh well. (Is it even possible to make an mkv with 1080i video?)
If anyone has any suggestions for a better way to go about this, please LMK, thanks!
*Details: Well, I’m pretty sure that the Laserdisc is still outputting NTSC at 59.94Hz since I don’t think a LD player can do exactly 60.00Hz, but for some reason the LD master must have been transferred to disc at 60.00Hz (there might be frame skips in the video, but I’ve only been paying attention to the audio recently).
The anime series is called Devilman Lady and I’m attempting to sync it to the recent Japanese Blu-ray release, which has a host of video problems (1080i, all 26 episodes compressed to hell on 2 BD-25s (which makes each one 5+ hours), poor black levels) but is still in HD and not an upscale, so it still looks better than the DVDs and Laserdiscs. But the BD audio also appears to be sourced from the 16mm film master’s optical track rather than the actual audio masters, so it’s in mono and sounds rather poor in comparison with the stereo Laserdisc audio.
