Breakdown (1997) Custom BD |

I've put together what I call a 'watchable' HD version of Breakdown from a HDTV broadcast. The original file had heavy vertical aliasing baked into the master which I've mostly removed using nnedi3 in avisynth. Some moire remains buts it's the best that can be done considering the source. I then regrained the whole film using a custom RGB grain plate.
The project is synced to the Region 1 DVD. The movie is 100% HD bar a logo in the end credits for which I upscaled the DVD in order to maintain DVD sync.
Release Format: MKV containing blu ray compliant x264, Average Bitrate 26Mb/s. File size 18.7GB
So far the project includes the following soundtracks:
PCM 2.0 and AC-3 5.1 from the US Laserdisc
AC-3 2.0/5.1 English, AC-3 2.0 French from the R1 US DVD
Included subtitles (MKV compatible only): English, Spanish, French
If anyone wishes to contribute additional audio tracks I ask that they are already synced to the R1 DVD.
Some screenshots:

missing channel in an official release! |

That's incredible, never happened before... the Italian multichannel track of Creep (2004) misses the front left channel! It's the same for two different editions in the AC-3 version, and also in DTS present in just one of them...
I didn't want to copy&past the front right channel "as is", so as temporary solution, I mixed both front right and center channel, to get something a bit different - I'm aware that's not THE solution, but still *a bit* better than plain copy of FR.
What I'd like to achieve is this: compare the English right channel with the Italian one; where they sound (more or less) the same, it means no voice are there; for those segments, the related part of the left channel would be used to replace the corresponding (faulty) right channel. This is the best solution IMHO. Still, too lazy to do it manually, so I wonder if there is a way to do that in audacity, or other free softwares.
Thanks!

Hi.
I'm a big Disney fan, and I have a particular interest in the Disneyland TV-series Christmas episode "From All of Us to All of You", which I'm currently doing a fan-restoration of. The episode itself has never been released on home video (although "Jiminy Cricket's Christmas" reuses many elements from this episode), but it consists of shorts and clips from films that are available on DVD and blu-ray, bridged together with original animation made for the episode.
This episode is very popular in Scandinavia, where it's broadcast every Christmas. Unfortunately, these broadcasts has been edited multiple times over the years, and a lot of the original bridging segments has been removed.
In the US, the episode was broadcast in three (afaik) basic versions:
Version 1:
1958 - original episode
1960 - rerun, with new opening titles
version 2:
1963 - reedited to make room for a "surprise gift" (Sword in the Stone)
1967 - new surprise gift: The Jungle Book
1970 - new surprise gift: The Aristocats
version 3:
1973 - reedited. Surprise gift: Robin Hood
1977 - new surprise gift: Pete's Dragon
1979 - new surprise gift: Corn Chips
1980 - new surprise gift: The Aristocats
My goal is to restore all the different versions of the episode. I have finished a version of the 1960 episode, but there's still plenty of room for improvement, and I expect to be asking for a lot of help with that

Laserdisc capture - general thread |

I have both editions the SE /TE on laserdisc [of The Abyss]; they are plentiful on ebay. The SE I transferred to dvd at full bit rates. 4 discs one dvd for each side . My next goal is to up the bit rates to Bluray quality very slowly. Trying to figure out how to capture the screen with MSI Afterburner. Had good success with it on good prints. Tried bandicam but had problems with jutter. I have 4 laserdisc players. My biggest challenge is try to eliminate some of the analog artifacts from the laserdisc. ah just checked I did get it on to bluray looks good on my small 4k tv to 43 inch. yes I need to recrop.

MPC-BE settings |

Usually I use MPV as main player - it seems to have the best quality overall - but for testing purpose I use MPC-BE, for several reasons: - you can go to a given frame number
- display more info on the video
- have mediainfo included
- let me grab screenshots without annoying play bars on bottom (as MPV often does)
- important: can play avs files!
I use haali video renderer, because it's possible to get print screen, is fast when switch to fullscreen back and forth, but it has two huge problems: it seems to play interlaced also progressive files, and add a magenta blanket to it - probably display 601 instead 709, but it's just my guess.
Now, not great problems if you have to watch test clips, but still HUGE when you got to grab screenshots - with jaggies and wrong colors - and to judge a color grading - "hey, look at those magent faces!" (when in reality it's the player fault...)
So, I'm asking for a way to fix these problems, or another renderer to use, which should be fast swithing to fullscreen, let me go to a given frame number, and, most important, let me take a screenshot using the print screen key.
