  Restoration Essentials: Tax-Free Weekend
Posted by: Koopa Luath - 2017-07-17, 11:40 PM - Forum: Everything else... - Replies (15)

As Tax-Free Weekend approaches, I'm sensing another opportunity to grab a new computer. As I'm hoping to use it for restoration purposes, I'd like a general idea of what I'm going to need, in terms of CPU processing power, RAM, storage, GPU, display color accuracy, display brightness, etc.

  Silent Hill (2006) - open matte & "before color timing"!
Posted by: spoRv - 2017-07-17, 04:58 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (15)

I've discovered yesterday that there is a nice version of Silent Hill, found in the French BD as PIP, that shows film before any color timing! Never encountered this thing before, so it would be nice to use it as reference to make a special, non-theatrical color grading!

Got few seconds to test it, and result is quite nice; still don't know how the CGI parts (luckily not too many, it seems) will look like, though...

From top: open matte, non-timed, open matte regraded to non-timed ("de-regraded" or "de-timed")

A few projects I've been following on OT and FE brought me to this fine place.

Currently working on an attempt to do some kind of justice to disastrous The Osterman Weekend Blu-ray, more on that when I put together whole presentation.

  HEVC / H.265 GPU-assisted encoders?
Posted by: deblock - 2017-07-16, 10:15 PM - Forum: Converting, encoding, authoring - Replies (3)

Hi, I was wondering if others think current HEVC GPU-assisted encoders are as good or better than H.264 encoders?

I have a feeling the HEVC GPU-assisted encoders are good now. I also think some people say they don't like H.265 because they don't have a good-enough rig to play H.265.

This thread is dedicated to the classic Britcoms. In this first post, I'll try to list off as many as I can the PBS premieres of each, in chronological order.

  • Monty Python's Flying Circus (1974)
  • Fawlty Towers (1978)
  • Last of the Summer Wine (198?)
  • Open All Hours (1985)
  • 'Allo! 'Allo! (1987)
  • Are You Being Served? (1987)
  • Keeping Up Appearances (1991)
  • Waiting for God (1991)
  • As Time Goes By (1993)
Needless to say, I'll update this list as I get more info.

  Underworld (2003) theatrical cut open matte
Posted by: spoRv - 2017-07-13, 11:23 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (6)

Just found the open matte version of Underworld theatrical cut, on BD; never thought it exists! Way better than the HDTV, and with DTS-HD MA English track instead AC-3.

I thought to put my hands on it, sooner or later; the biggest problem is that there are few languages available for the theatical cut, namely Russian (got it along the HDTV), French (available on French BD) and Italian (available only on the UHD-BD, along with French, both DTS-HD MA).

Now, I don't know if it's possible to get audio 1:1 from UHD-BD; if so, at least I'll get my language... if not, I should give up, or restore the unrated extended version using BD to patch missing parts (I've even thought to add few seconds not present in the unrated version, yet in the theatrical one); it would be a PITA to reconstruct it, but at least I'll get all the needed audio (and subs) tracks; it has been made before, using HDTV for open matte TC, but the BD parts were quite off, color wise; eventually, I'll regrade the BD (or the TC to be closer to BD, or better regrade both), and use cropped BD to get a 100% full screen version - yes, I know I'll lose part of the image, but at least it would flow better, maybe...

Opinions?

FAQ
Have you included all the deleted shots/scenes available?
I tried to add as much as I can, but for some I haven't found a viable way to insert them - like Daniels' Xenomorph hunt; but 17m30s aren't that bad, don't you think?

Why have you added a Prometheus deleted scene?
Because I thought it fit better in this movie than in the previous one...

Why this release?
US viewers should wait more than a month for the official release, EU more than two; after that, it will take some time to make an extended edition; so, this is a provisional release waiting for a better one; indeed, probably we should wait many months for the open matte version, hence this could fill the big gap...


Why a video bitrate three times higher than original source?
Because some added shots have very high quality, this will help to preserve it - the extended scene is from Blu-ray, while The Last Supper and Meet Walter are from ProRes versions at very high bitrate; this is the minimum bitrate allowed to retain almost all the added grain intact.
