  Heidi (1965) - English audio restoration
Posted by: fres202 - 2017-12-20, 04:59 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (5)

This one might not gain much interest, but I watched this movie as a kid and have been looking for the English version for a while. There have been several productions of Heidi over the years, but this particular production, directed by Werner Jacobs, has always been a favorite.

IMDB Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059259/?ref_=tt_urv

This was West German production, it has been released on DVD, but only with German audio and no English subtitles. However, there is an English dub out there. It was picked up by Warner Bros - Seven Arts and released in the US dubbed in English in 1967. I think it had a limited run in theaters, and later aired on TV in the 80s.

I found a TV broadcast VHS recording from the late 80s (88 or 89) with the English audio, however it had significant hissing and buzz. It is also missing a couple minutes in the middle of the film where someone recorded over part of the movie.

I have also acquired one of the German DVDs. It seems there is a 2003 DVD and a 2007 DVD. One has a run time of 91 minutes, while the other has a runtime of 87 minutes, which has a couple short scenes cut. I have the 87 minute DVD from 2007 but have not verified the VHS runtime without commercials.

My goal for the project is to clean-up and sync the English dub with a rip of the German DVD, which offers much better picture quality than the VHS. It would also be nice to create English subtitles.

If anyone happens to have the 91 minute DVD, that would be a help. If by some chance someone has access to a better copy of the English audio that would also be a huge help.

91 minute dvd: https://www.amazon.de/Heidi-Originalfilm...B00009N2L1
87 minute dvd: https://www.amazon.de/Heidi-Realfilm-Eva...B00Q0Q3SCU

Hopefully someone else remembers this movie!

  Godfather 35mm on eBay for $600
Posted by: deleted user - 2017-12-19, 10:21 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (9)

https://www.ebay.com/itm/35mm-Feature-Fi...2524539362

I thought the price ($600) seemed quite fair for a classic movie like this on 35mm, in apparently good state. Open Matte, colors look decent and not faded (although hard to tell from the pictures). 

I'm poor like a Kirchenmaus (as we say in Germany), but I thought someone might care. Also posted it on OT.

Do we have any thread or subforum to post finds like these to, though? I see interesting 35mm prints every now and then and I'm starting to feel like I'm cluttering the forum with my posts about it, maybe a dedicated place for this would be nice?

  Help needed for acquiring and scanning Spider Man WTC trailer
Posted by: deleted user - 2017-12-19, 10:06 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (25)

As suggested by spoRv, this thread is dedicated to trying to get a hold of the World Trade Center Spider Man trailer, as it has a scene/sequence found nowhere else, and scanning it.

First off, this is what we're talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGEyP_z4qWg (best quality version I've seen so far, found by spoRv - but still very mediocre)

Currently a German version is being sold: https://www.ebay.de/itm/Original-Kino-Tr...2560640139

I have contacted the seller and he agreed to wait with payment until next month, so I will be buying it. Ergo, please don't bid on it, or someone's money will be wasted.

Either way, in case someone outbids me (I'm not willing to go much higher than the base price), there's still the English one being sold by someone: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Spider-Man-2001...2819432461

Sadly, the price is insane ($300). If anyone has (or is) a rich uncle with a tendency to impulsive spending, this is for you. Big Grin  Or maybe enough people are interested to add something to the pot? 

Though, my hope is to get the German one, which should be possible, as it's kind of a niche, despite the rarity.

In either case, scanning will be required. Is anyone here able and willing to do this? If I dish out 60 EUR for a trailer, my budget will be overextended anyway, so I sadly can't contribute much.

I could theoretically scan it frame by frame with my Reflecta ProScan 7200, but by my calculations, it would take me 2 weeks of non stop work without sleep, and frankly I'm not that disciplined or motivated. Nor do I have the hard drive space. Nor the patience to restart if I realize I've had some faulty settings.

Preferably, for the German one, someone in Europe should do the scanning, to keep the shipping costs in a reasonable range.

That's it so far.

  x264 BD compliant "perfect" settings - faster version
Posted by: spoRv - 2017-12-19, 07:19 PM - Forum: Converting, encoding, authoring - Replies (26)

I propose here to switch from veryslow preset to medium, retaining 99.7% of its quality and cut in half the encoding time (according to this page); I took previous settings found here, and added only --ref 4 to maintain BD compliance, and --direct auto to improve quality.

Of course, 0.3% of quality loss and encoding time cut in half would apply only to plain presets (i.e. without messing with other settings); if the encoding time will be only slightly reduced, there will be no need to use these settings; so, some tests are needed - volunteers are welcome! Wink


SETTINGS:

Code:
x264.exe --pass 1 --preset medium --tune film --bluray-compat --level 4.1 --ref 4 --direct auto --keyint 24 --slices 4 --b-pyramid none --weightp 0 --sar 1:1 --colorprim bt709 --transfer bt709 --colormatrix bt709  --bitrate 25000 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --vbv-maxrate 40000 --stats ".stats" --output NUL "Input_File.avs"

x264.exe --pass 2 --preset medium --tune film --bluray-compat --level 4.1 --ref 4 --direct auto --keyint 24 --slices 4 --b-pyramid none --weightp 0 --sar 1:1 --colorprim bt709 --transfer bt709 --colormatrix bt709  --bitrate 25000 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --vbv-maxrate 40000 --stats ".stats" --output "Output_File.264" "Input_File.avs"

replace 25000 with the desired average bitrate, 24 in the keyint with the video framerate (24 would do for 23.976 and 30 for 29.97), Input_File.avs with an AviSynth script (or a video file), and Output_File.264 with the final x264 file.

You can use them directly with the x264 command line - just copy and paste pass 1 settings then, when finished, copy and paste pass2 settings - or save as .bat file

HINTS:
  • these settings are good for 1080p video
  • pay attention to the BD size: actual ones are 23.3GB for BD-25 and 46.6GB for BD-50
  • allow about 7% overhead for the .m2ts container - for example, total file size (video+audio+subs) excluding eventual menus would be around 21.75GB for a BD-25, and 43.55 for a BD-50
  • to retain grain, better to not go under 20/22mbps for 2.35:1 and 28/30mbps for 1.78:1/1.85:1
  • max bitrate allowed for BD (video+audio) is 48000mbps, so if audio tracks total bitrate is over 8000mbps, you should lower video bitrate accordingly, in particular pay attention to --vbv-maxrate
  • to improve speed, you can use for pass 1 a "simpler" version of the final file, for example without noise reduction, grain plate, color grading, but it should be otherwise identical - same frame numbers, same resolution etc.
  • do NOT delete any temp files you get after pass 1 (.stats and .stats.mbtree) because they will be used by pass 2!!!

  Anyone have the Spider Man World Trade Center scene?
Posted by: deleted user - 2017-12-19, 02:04 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (17)

I am not sure whether this was only supposed to be in the trailer or whether it was an actual movie scene, either way, as we know, it has been removed. Does anyone here have it in good quality or know anything about it?

  Do you watch italian movies?
Posted by: spoRv - 2017-12-18, 11:16 PM - Forum: Movies, TV shows and other - Replies (31)

Just a curiosity of mine... actually, I watch almost always US movies - maybe, 90%? - probably due to the fact I love sci-fi, fantasy, horror, action films, genres not so prolific in Italy.

And, if you watch them, which genres, years, titles, directors, actors do you prefer?

(warning: anyone who writes "cinepanettoni" shall be shot! Big Grin )

  The importance of checksum
Posted by: spoRv - 2017-12-16, 07:54 PM - Forum: General technical discussions - Replies (10)

I never thought about the importance of the checksum, until today... it is not only because one can check if the downloaded file is indeed error-free, but also to know if a given project is untouched; I mean, I'm aware that some of my projects are remuxed, discarding audio and/or subs tracks, with other ones remuxed in their place, but, would the video be left untouched?

At the end, the hash string is like a signature of your work; it would help to know if a given file is the original, untouched one, or at least if one or more muxed tracks are.

So, from now on, I will include hash strings for the main m2ts file, as well as the h264 demuxed stream (and eventually audio and/or subs tracks, if they are restored/fixed as well); I have decided to use MD-5, SHA-1 and SHA3-512, to have more checksum options; also file size and mediainfo would be included as well.

Example of a info.txt file that would be included:

Opinions?

Edit: to test its effectiveness, first I demuxed the m2ts file, checked the raw h264, remux this raw stream with the other tracks found in the m2ts, then demuxed it again from this second m2ts, and the raw h264 stream is identical (as expected).
