Hello.

I've got a HD WEB-DL of a film that I'd like to sync the original audio to, as the WEB-DL doesn't feature the original track. I've got two sources of the original audio. One from a laserdisc (taken from a video/audio capture rather than a dedicated audio capture), and an official DVD. The DVD is cut, as is the WEB-DL. I'd love to restore the missing scene, but as yet it's beyond my capabilities.

The problem I'm having is that the respective sources seem to be running at different frame rates. The WEB-DL runs at 24 fps, and the DVD and LD capture both run at 29.97 fps. Looking at the audio, the DVD runs about 2 minutes longer than the WEB-DL. The DVD suffers from frame cuts, as I'm guessing would the WEB-DL (additional to the cut scene). If I was to try to sync the audio from the DVD to the WEB-DL, what could I do to convert the audio to match the frame rate?

Regards.

I know this is a long shot, but maybe someone does have it

The Japanese LaserDisc has the english audio in it's original mono,
while the movie itself is uncut. If someone has it and can capture
the audio, with the video to help syncing, would be wonderful.

Since the audio on the LD is analoge only, I'd suggest to get the highest
capture quality possible, like 24bit at 96kHz. We can downsample from
that later on.

Thanks in advance

Hello again Fanres.

So I have some Video Footage that is PAL 25fps that has been converted from NTSC 29.976.
There are the usual signs like blending between shots.
This is video footage shot in the early 90's and not from a film source.

Does anybody know of any techniques to return it back to its original form?
Preferably by an AVIsynth plugin / script.

I understand it maybe impossible but there are wizards around these parts
Thanks again for your time folks.

It's no shock that the encoders built in Adobe Premiere are just trash. So any encoding would be done outside AP by encoding an AVI then using script. For the longest time i've been wanting to find another way to encode from Adobe Premiere and skip the AVI altogether. I think i found a workaround thanks to a guy that goes by the name Vouk. He came up with a free plugin based on LIBAV. I did some small testing alongside script encoding and got some nice results. Still have to do an entire film to make sure there's no issues.

Just need to figure out all the settings in the advanced settings to make sure it's as good as we can get it.

A page with interesting reviews about video processors, scalers, deinterlacers etc.

aimed mainly to retrogamers, but contains info that could apply also to SD video sources as laserdisc, VHS, CED, VHD etc.

I know Landis shot a lot of his stuff open matte. Is AAWIL one of them? I saw some talk here about the audio mixes of it, but I didn't see if anyone had confirmed it it has been shot open matte as well and what source (TV, Laserdisc, DVD, etc.)

Some of you may know that I acquired an used 55' FALD (full array local dimming) LED Toshiba display about one year ago. Sadly, lately it decided to follow the path of its Samsung predecessor (which Toshiba is almost a simple rebadged version, excluding few electronics improvements)... black thin lines (about one pixel high, evenly spaced every twenty pixels or so) appeared on the right side, slowly dim towards left up to half screen... still working, but once seen, it cannot be unseen!

"what black lines?!?"

Sony KDL-55HX920 - 500€ (availability to be confirmed) FALD LED

Panasonic TX-58DX902 - 950€ - THX UltraHD Premium

Pro: probably the best LED ever made, high-end model, THX certification, UHD, HDR, 98% DCI-P3 gamut, 512 FALD zones, HDCP 2.2, 1300+ nits, good audio quality, bigger size, 2016 model but bought on 2017-02, so still 10 months warranty
Cons: usual FALD limits (but I was used to 96 FALD zones, so I *think* those would not be huge problems), price in comparison to the previous ones (even if more than good considering the features and only one year old), 600km away (back and forth)

Yesterday I discovered I have a DVD with the Italian track in DTS-ES 6.1 96/24, while the BD has "only" the PCM 5.1 (presumably 48/16); so, I thought to try to extract it and eventually use it to mux with BD.

But I was not able to extract all the channels; all I get was the 5.1 downmix... I tried both FooBar2000 and Eac3to; with the first, if I use the dtshd plugin (which clearly states that it does not work with 96/24), I got reduced length, and distorted sound, but all the channels are there (actually, 8 instead 7, but I guess one is just a copy of another), while with the "simple" dts decoder, it works well but only 5.1.

Eac3to conversion was more convoluted; I tried using LAVfilters, and again 5.1 96/24 - but the newer version doesn't work... tried to add ArcSoft dts decoder (the only one I've found is 1.1.0.7); while Eac3to -test shows that is works, it isn't - it tried to convert the file (also only 5.1) but fails; *maybe* 1.1.0.8 could solve the problem, but I wasn't able to find it out.

Hi all im new to this site thanks to spoRv for the invite

Iv been working on this for quite sometime now, this is one of the deleted scenes from Star Wars IV A new hope.. To clean up this footage I exported the Video in to images, took them in Lightroom, did what i could in there and then over to after effects using various Scratch and dust removal effects and a lot of Roto scoping, Theres still a lot to do, its not 100 percent clean yet but its what Iv done so far




this will available for anyone to download once it's finished, that's if you want to make your own edits etc or whatever just give me credit that's all :-)

Normaly I would be interested in the passkey because I can't watch my blurays on the fly (i have to rip them first with makemkv) but at $79 it's still expensive for me right now.
