This is a denoiser made by althor1138 and posted on OT a long time ago; I think it could be useful for someone here, too.

A very simple but effective way to eliminate cross colors, rainbows, and other "nice gifts" we can find in our analog captures, in particular from composite formast, like the darling VHS and our beloved laserdisc.

It reduce chroma at 1/4th of the original; don't worry, because even the best Super-NTSC encoded laserdisc will barely suffer using this function; just try and let me know! Thanks to antcuufaalb!!!

Anyone know the best avisynth tools for cleaning up a ld capture? Specifically, raindowing, dot-crawl and other the other joys of a composite signal.

In this thread, we will announce the promotion to Junior Project Maker of Registered users who have released at least one project, and to Project Maker of Power Users who have released several projects (and are longtime members).

Today, the new promoted members are:

The Aluminum Falcon - Project Maker

zoidberg - Junior Project Maker

Congratulations, guys!

I'm pretty sure there are some members who have released projects lately, and had not promoted yet; feel free to post your suggestions here.

Project Info

While Citizen Kane and, to a lesser extent, Orson Welles's follow-up The Magnificent Ambersons are well regarded today, the 1943 film Journey into Fear is often forgotten and extraordinarily underrated.

Despite not receiving official directorial credit, Welles created in Journey into Fear a unique thriller with extraordinary long takes and Wellesian aural flourishes. His third and final feature film at RKO stars most of the familiar Mercury Theater ensemble- Joseph Cotten, Ruth Warrick, Agnes Moorehead, Everett Sloane, and, of course, Orson Welles himself.

A more pulpy adventure than the previous two endeavors, it follows an American engineer in Turkey, who desperately tries to avoid assassination by Nazi spies on a ship full of colorful characters.

In 1943, Welles was no longer in good graces with RKO (perhaps a factor in his lack of official directorial credit). Like The Magnificent Ambersons, Journey into Fear was the subject of radical studio cuts in order to truncate the length. However, unlike Welles's second film, Journey into Fear today survives in two extant versions - a European cut and an American cut, modified by Welles himself, which contains narration and an additional ending coda.

This restored version collects all footage still surviving and compiling it into one unified cut, not unlike Universal's official Touch of Evil Restored Cut or The Munich Film Archive's Mr. Arkadin Comprehensive Edition. The Restored Version here is similar to the occasionally screened Munich Film Archive SD cut, but is superior in terms of audio and video quality.

As the film is not commercially available on home video in the U.S., this custom upscaled BD was sourced from an assortment of DVD and laserdisc releases, which were then post-processed for the best quality possible. To my knowledge, this is the first time that the film has been presented in its entirety at the proper 23.976fps film speed.

Don't expect miracles with the quality, but if you've never seen Welles's third and final effort at RKO, this edition is the ideal introduction and better represents what Orson Welles intended before the RKO interfered.

Project Info

Back when the Attack of the Clones was released in 2002, IMAX screenings were strictly limited to 2 hour films. Therefore, AOTC (2 hours and 22 minutes) theatrically had to be cut about 22 minutes. At the time, it was also cropped to 1.81 to fill more of the IMAX screen than the original 2.35 ratio would permit.

Fortunately, George Lucas did not supervise this edit. Whoever did clearly caught a lot of flaws in the bloated original film and was particularly brutal in axing the worst of Anakin's excesses, as well as unnecessary subplot sequences in general. Actually, this IMAX version winds up being decently similar to fan edits that succeeded it.

No CAM or TS of this IMAX version exists but many extensive cutlists were created at the time. I reconstructed this based off of information from several sources, and it should prove a reasonable approximation of the IMAX cut until a proper reference source is found (highly unlikely, if ever).

In full disclosure, this is actually an older project that's been sitting on my Hard Drive for awhile. Project files were lost in that crash I mentioned, but I was able to encode a nice BD25 compatible MKV beforehand. Despite its color timing, the BD was used as the source because, at the time, I didn't want to put an HDTV stream through multiple processes of re-encoding, especially because I was considering matching the 1.81 aspect ratio originally. All in all, it's not perfect, but a BD50 V2, color-corrected to match the theatrical timing, is far off for me. (Have a lot of other projects to do in the meantime).  

Partial Cutlist (taken from one web source)
- Original meeting with Palpatine right after the assassination attempt
- Meeting Jar-Jar at the elevator

I had some titles listed as such; after a quick research on dvdcompare, I reduced the list:

I'm just curious to see if anyone here is also going to Celebration in Orlando this year (April 13-16). We are taking our ten year old. This will be my first time and I swear it's only for my son....

Hi everyone,

as stated in some Terminator 2 Sound discussion Thread, I am going to send my Terminator 2 Squeezed Japan LaserDisc to spoRv for bit-correctly transferring the Audio streams from the Disc to Computer for use in further Projects by forum members.

But postage is not the cheapest for such a sized package, so it would be wise at least to check if there is some other LD in my collection that should be preserved as well. Okay, there are some LDs that not need to be preserved, either because they already are (english languaged Star Wars LDs i.e.) ore are in other kind of projects kind of restored.

Also in some cases the DVD and/or BD releases are well done enougth, or the LDs are not so well done, so that a preservation would be futile.

Because I am in no cases an expert, I just have listed my LD collection, and now I am asking you for input, what LD(s) I should send to spoRv, that they would be transferred for someone to use.
Maybe someone has already some project, and now there is some LD just fitting into his project for a bit more.

My List:

Also: I may try to answer questions regarding the LDs, but it may take time, I am just every two weeks near my LD collection.

Thanks.
