Can someone demux this track and share it here?  I don't like the video transfer on the UHD and would like to remux this audio with the theatrical Blu-ray.

This is a preservation of the LD of The Alamo (ML 102581), which contains the restored 1960 Roadshow edition.  It includes the overture, intermission, entr'acte, and exit music.  The idea behind this release is to give people a version that they can stand to watch on modern equipment, one that preserves the LD in reasonably high quality.  After capture, the video was processed as follows.

• IVTC
  
• clean-up
  
• upscale to 720p
  
• side-breaks edited out
  
• encoded to fit a BD-25
  

Planes, Trains and Automobiles v1b  PUT BACK IN THE VAULT




The blu-ray is horrible with plenty of DNR. This Sky cap is framed a bit different with more picture showing and not DNR'd to death. The goal was to make it slightly more filmic with color and contrast. This lines up with the BD for anyone who wants to add other audio or subtitles.

Video: Thanks to X5gb for providing the PTAA Sky Anytime file.  

Audio: Thanks to bronan for capping his LD and syncing it to the BD.  

A little Summer Rental project v1  



The goal was to make it slightly more filmic with color and contrast.

Video: HDTV cap that had a logo pop up once in while throughout.
             X5gb capped another source with no logo that i used to remove the logo.
             PDB provided the DVD that i took some color reference from.

Audio: PCM 1.0 from the LD thanks to Bronan who capped and synced it.
             AC3 from DVD thanks to PDB

PM me for a link











Big thanks to:
PDB for the dvd and all the help with converting the 1080i files
X5gb for the second video source
bronan for the LD audio and syncing

Can DaVinci Resolve do what TMPGEnc Smart Renderer does? Export video without reencoding everything but only those parts that have been trimmed and joined together?

And while I'm asking, does TMPGEnc Authoring Works 6 include the Smart renderer? They seem to be sold separately so I'm not sure if Authoring Works 6 includes the other, their website is a bit confusing.

You re doing a fine job, I Hope i can help.

Does anyone have a copy of the 1st ST2 DVD that came out? The one before the CE/DC 2-disc DVD.

I'm trying to figure out and can't remember if it was the LD transfer bumped up to DVD or a new master altogether.

Terminator 2 Regrade (First Japanese Squeeze Laserdisc v1.0)

Project Info:

This posting is in the proposal section in order to gather more information. Think of it as a place holder for now as I finish other projects.

I had completed a T2 project (never released) which attempted to grade the movie as close to multiple 35mm sources as possible. This project will go in the opposite direction. There has been a fascination with the color scheme of the Japanese squeeze laserdisc for some time. Rumor has that the colors were so odd that Cameron wanted a corrected reissue and got one.

Having always wanted to see it, I was happy that kchrules from the ot made a copy to share. Having seen it, I can it is seemly inaccurate but very interesting. Interesting enough to preserve in a project. So that’s this project; to regrade the current BD to the Japanese squeeze laserdisc. It's also meant to be a test for new techniques.

Couple of issues. First, the LD is very dark overall or at least the capture is. Sometimes it’s as bright, but often not. So I will raise the levels to be more pleasing to the eye. Second kchrules cap has a strange issues including a bad framerate. So in order to frame match it to the BD, I have to cut out or duplicate a lot of frames by hand. It's a bit of a mess and will take a while to fix without another cap. Finally, I will re-grain the BD with appropriate s35 grain

(And possibly the theatrical cut UHDBD regrade to the 1st generation Japanese squeeze LD outputted to a UHDBD/SDR formatted MKV)

Audio:
1. DTS 5.1: This is the CDS mix capped by MrBrown and re-synced by Chewtobacca
2. PCM 2.0 of the CDs mix?

Collaborators and Thanks (In order of help):
kchrules: for a cap of the squeeze LD
MrBrown/Chewtobacca: for the CDS mix and sync
MrBrown: for additional help.

This is a rather unusual thread. The first time I saw the UNCUT version of the Godfather I immediately fell in love with it. My purpose, opening this thread, is to see if it is possible, all together, to recreate the best possible version of "the Godfather" saga with a lenght of 9 hours and 44 minutes. Maybe an OPEN-MATTE version.

I have:

- the VHS version (found on the net) of 9 Hours and 44 Min.,
- the uncensored version of A Novel for Television (720p - 7 Hours and 3 Minutes),
- the complete german version of the Godfather (720p - 9 Hrs 44 Min.): here was added at the end the Godfather: Part 3.

I'm searching for the italian version aired years ago on Paramount Channel (with maybe the new italian track).

I want to upscale the VHS Version and try to delete the hardcoded subs and recreate the original colours of the VHS 'cause I don't like the magenta dyeing.

Here you can see some screenshots comparing VHS to 720p.














Ah, sorry for my english. For me it would be better italian.
