This thread is where I'll put my test and demo releases, beginning with the Inspector Gadget pilot, "Winter Olympics", on February 9. Test and demo releases will not use any of my logos for their home video logos, only studio logos as applicable. Releases formatted as screeners, however, will use my logos.

Contents of the initial test release, a DVD, will include the feature presentation and a trailer reel featuring largely unformatted (except to use the full frame of the 4:3 image) trailers for upcoming and future projects.

[EDIT solution here https://fanrestore.com/thread-2010-post-...l#pid40310]

I'll try explain my situation. Maybe some of you can tell me why this is happening and what to do to avoid it.

I work on Adobe Premiere CS6, video and audio tracks on the timeline are the same length and there are no gaps in the audio.
I export audio and video separately (video exported as uncompressed avi and then converted to h264) and then rejoin them later using TsMuxer to make a Blu-Ray folder or an ISO.

If I export the audio as PCM wave then this situation occurs: when I join audio and video to make a blu ray with TsMuxer, at the very end of the film I get a terrible loud noise of scrambled data that goes on for a few seconds (over 10 seconds), as if the video and audio are not the same length.

Maybe the fault is with Premiere that exports a WAV file of a different length or perhaps TsMuxer is not working correctly, right? These are the two main possibilities. Well, let's add some mystery to this.
I took the PCM wave file that I exported from Premiere and I converted it to AC3 with Audacity then with TsMuxer I created a Blu-Ray using the usual h264 video and the AC3 audio file (which was converted from the same WAV that created the audio issue before), well, what do you know? The Blu-Ray this time came out perfectly, audio and video end at the same time, with no weird sounds.    

So why PCM files always give me this problem at the end of the film while THE SAME FILE converted to AC-3 doesn't?

Anyone had similar expriences? Or any idea why is this happening? I basically can't use PCM audio for my projects and this is unacceptable.

PS it's late at night and very tired, I hope I explained the situation well enough.

Addendum: I once used EasyBD lite to create a blu-ray by muxing h264 video and PCM wave audio and the program wouldn't even start muxing but gave me a "different length" error.

Here I go again... yet another planned Spring offering, this time from Paramount's Roman vaults...

Danger: Diabolik

This is the trailer I plan to use when promoting the restoration project on my other projects. Needless to say, it'll probably look better on the trailer reel than in the link provided.

Initial specs are as follows:

VIDEO
Resolution: 1080p (BD), 480p (NTSC DVD), 576p (PAL DVD)
Aspect ratio: 1.85:1 (BD and DVD, with English titles only), 1.37:1 (DVD only, with either English or Italian titles)

AUDIO
Italian (mono)
French (mono)
German (mono)
English (mono, 1968 dub)
English (mono, 1992 dub)
Castilian Spanish (mono)

SUBTITLES
English
English SDH (1968)
English SDH (1992)
French
German
Italian
Spanish
Danish
Finnish
Japanese
Swedish
Turkish

The above spec list is not final, which is most true for the subtitles; I might have to drop some of the subtitle options, ultimately, and I have no illusions that I'll be able to get everything I want for this project. But I'll do my darnedest with what I do have.

I just noticed that The Fellowship of the Ring (theatrical version) was recently added to Netflix (USA). I scrubbed through it and it appears to be a VAST improvement over the theatrical Blu-ray! There doesn't appear to be as much of the ugly DNR. The grain feels much more natural. Does anyone know how to do a full 1080p capture of a movie on Netflix? If so, this would be a good one to capture and preserve!!

Hello world! The name is Lavon. And I'm very new to this wonderful website! I'm a 20 year old amateur film maker that have yet to reached the levels of mainstream and been making movies for about 5 years now. I don't have anything else to say besides that but let's hope that this forum is a pretty nice place for me. 

Just a user from the Originaltrilogy and Fanedit.org forums here who saw how awesome this place looked and decided to make an account!

Though I don't really have any projects to offer as of right now, I hope I can help give feedback and participate in some discussions in a productive manner. Very excited to see all the great work on here

As I contemplate the possibility of doing an Ultimate Star Wars project, I'd like to know something about how the THX premieres of The Return of the Jedi and The Phantom Menace began. Were there any trailers first (e.g. The Star Chamber, which was attached to The Return of the Jedi when it premiered), or did it start willy-nilly with a THX logo?

I was thinking of doing a release of the original Star Wars Special Edition Trilogy as one of my future projects. The package would consist of HD versions of the 1997 Special Editions, the N64 title Shadows of the Empire, and an emulator to play it on. It likely won't be a Zilmar-spec emulator such as Project 64, though; I noticed a few graphical errors at the very start. Anyway, I might do this project for a release as early as this Summer.

Looking for RE4 open matte version (that I have not found so far...) I encountered a 3D top/bottom version, bad quality, cropped on the sides, which has the intro completely textless (we are talking about 4 minutes here) - and I don't mean only text credits, but also title animation:

I wonder from where it comes, and if someone else has ever found anything similar.
