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.

http://retrogaming.hazard-city.de

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 :-)

if this is posted in wrong section sorry guys

I just saw this today that may interest some:

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.

This is something I made and put on OT, but I want to start participating on here more so I thought It'd be good to put my projects over here as well.

Ever since the early 2000s, every release of The Wrong Trousers has had several musical tracks replaced with generic royalty free alternatives, due to copyright issues that were never resolved. For this project, I've restored the original audio to this classic short film.

The specific audio clips that have been restored are as follows:

- The birthday card now plays the "Happy Birthday" song
- The montage of Gromit trying to sleep now plays "Happy Talk" and "How Much Is That Doggy In The Window"
- The next morning, Wallace now hums "How Much Is That Doggy In The Window" as he walks by Gromit
- The small television Gromit watches as he eats his cereal now plays the Open University theme

This is a 3.96 GB MKV that is now available on MEGA. It is HD, 25 fps.

Special thanks to alloneword on OT for the TV rip audio source, which was used for the whole short, with the logos and end credits theme sourced from DVD audio.

The trailer music that  has never been released I think goes with the infiltrator Terminator in the future (Bunker shoot out) but it blends into the main terminator theme at the end (as it has the rhythm underneath) and cut's as Reese flys through the air segwaying into the existing music. I am going to try this out but anyway doubtful at this time. But this is my instincts.

The gun shop scene has also missing music
