Hello, from 2011 til about a year and half ago my preferred video editing and DVD burning software was Nero 10. However, a year and a half ago I noticed that when ever Nero exports videos now it tends to have 'glitches', square boxes that pop up from time to time. I had used this software countless times without this issue. For months I was going back and forth on the Nero forum trying 
to find a solution to no prevail. I tried dozens of suggestions. Checking for software updates, changing quality settings, converting files to a different format, no help. I even upgraded to the 2016 Nero hoping maybe this would solve the problem. It did not not. In the past year I've tried Nero on three different computers. An Acer laptop, an HP laptop (the one I'm currently typing on), and a desktop put together by my upstairs neighbor. The glitches appeared in all three instances. Below is a few screen grabs to illustrate my point. Is the problem Nero?? The Computer(s)?? Both?? I don't think it has to do with the format of the videos since this has been occurring with basically every video I've tried converting regardless of format. I'm possibly considering switching to Cyberlink PowerDirector should I not find away around this.

Has the original 1995 anime (non enhanced CGI) ever had a decent HD release?

Just wondered if anyone can chime in and let me know if it is an any way possible to fix progressive footage that wasn't properly IVTC or de-interlaced before.

I have a lot of frames that look like this:



My gut tells me no, but I know the avisynth wizards may have some tricks I don't know about.

Hello

I have just registered with the new year! I am interested in restoration from laserdiscs and VHS, mainly cartoon related and for beter preservation. I did know of you thanks to a post referring to PanUp in other forum, so I came quickly here and discovered a lot of interesting threads.

Well, we'll see what I can learn and even maybe contribute, but I am fairly new in the restoration.

Tx

Every end of the year I think about what's happened during the previous twelve months, trying to find the best things to remember, and errors to avoid; here I would write something about fan projects.

• everyone wants you to release your project as soon as possible, and obtain it immediately, but few ones want to help; I always say that a simple "go on", or even a critic if constructive, may seems a little thing, but could be important for us to keep going on
  
• leaving a project behind sometimes is beneficial, because it clears our minds and, when we will be back, we often have fresh ideas and techniques
  
• every day I discover something new that will help to fix, enchance, change, reconstruct a given movie; when it could be important for the community, I share the idea, technique, method, script, whatever - even if often nobody seems to care...
  
• some old friends from other forums, and brand new members, have joined us lately; this is very positive for us all, not only for their projects, but also for their personal thoughts and inputs
  
• I must stop to continue to start new projects without releasing the previously started ones... my promise for the 2017 is that I will (try to) change that!
  

Project Info

Though the film is groundbreaking for its violent and sexual content for 1960, all the home video releases of Psycho (1960) have been trimmed in three areas for content. (http://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=1921) While it's unclear whether or not these scenes were in the original domestic release and forgotten over the years, they're worthy of preservation, at least for being in some foreign version.

An open matte SD German broadcast is our only current source for this rare footage.

This BD25 splices in the uncensored footage into Universal's 1080p remastered Blu-Ray release (UK version, used for superior bitrate). The footage from the broadcast has been matted to its proper aspect ratio with a 35mm grain plate added, proper adjustments for contrast and brightness made, and chroma/color noise removed. The footage was also slightly resized (horizontally stretched) to match the dimensions of the UK BD master; honestly, it's unclear which has the proper dimensions.

The quality change is still noticeable, hence my initial reluctance to release this, but it'll do until there's a better source found.

Hi Fanres.

Is there anybody out there aware of the best open-matte version of Robert Rodriguez's El Mariachi?

The film was shot on 16mm in a 1.33.1 AR (?) and blown up to 35mm for the general release.
All releases i know of on DVD/BLU are cropped to 16.9 and had to be scanned from a 35mm blowup because the negative was to damaged (information from the DVD commentary).

My Original VHS (Which i no longer possess!) was in 4:3 and (I believe) Open Matte. As were the TV showings in the UK.
According to the LDDB http://www.lddb.com/search.php?search=el...sort=title
The Japanese retaines the full frame, with the other releases cropping to a (less server) 1:66:1 AR
all these releases have Burnt in subtitles.

A search on ebay led me to this version
http://www.ebay.com/itm/El-Mariachi-VHS-...2337482063
and a better PAL version
http://www.ebay.com/itm/USED-VG-El-Maria...Sw-FZXjyA8
Which if 'English dubbed' should means they probably dont have burn't in Subtitles (?).

Does anybody know of the existance of any other versions, or have caps of the versions I mentioned above?
 
It would be nice to preserve the original version, Just wondering where the best sources are.
