У меня из японской Amazon фильм «Вокруг света» за 80 дней 2004 года в «Open Matte», но, к сожалению, нет отключенных японских субтитров, я не мог найти другого чистого источника, чтобы скрыть их, только с китайскими субтитрами, может быть, кто-то еще столкнулся с чистым другим фильм.

Data Recovery on Failed/Failing External Hard Drives

Posted by: nafroe - 2017-12-29, 08:40 PM - Forum: Everything else... - Replies (5)

Wasn't sure where to put this thread... so I put it right here! Hopefully this is a good spot for it.

I have two external USB hard drives... both failing simultaneously... These are hard drives used to store some fun little projects you all most likely already know about. Big Grin I've plugged both hard drives in to other computers to make sure that the issue is not computer-specific. It is indeed a hard drive issue.

My question is this: Is there a good way to recover the data on my own? Is this something that I would need to pay for? What methods have you all used in situations like this?

One hard drive is a Seagate 2TB and the other is a Western Digital.

Any help would be appreciated! Smile

	How do I actually replace a frame in an already-encoded stream?

Blade: Trinity 2004 Amazon JAP Open Matte

Posted by: maksnew - 2017-12-28, 08:53 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (5)

	Most recently I managed to get Blade: Trinity 2004 in Open Matte with Amazon of Japan, the picture quality is good, but unfortunately there are not disconnected Japanese subtitles, if anyone can help me to remove them, I'm waiting for you! Source codes in less good quality are, for hiding subtitles.

Hi :)

Journey to the Center of the Earth 16mm print on sale - buying and scanning

Posted by: deleted user - 2017-12-25, 11:45 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - No Replies

Here it is: https://www.ebay.com/itm/16mm-Journey-To...2841407076

Reason it caught my attention is that I read in the Blu Ray review that this movie does not have the original intermediary elements used anymore because the negative had deteriorated: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Journey-to...39/#Review

Here's the excerpt:

Quote:When Journey came to the then technologically "amazing" laserdisc format around 1990, it was evidently discovered that the original negative had deteriorated to such a point that it couldn't be used for what would have then been a state of the art transfer. Apparently at that time new intermediary elements were created which may still be in use today, according to information passed on to me from Twilight Time's Nick Redman. The results, while not completely staggering, are very good and should please ardent videophiles who bring appropriate expectations.

I think it's fair to assume that this 16mm print, although it's described as "faded pinkish", would stilll have all the original elements. With a bit of effort to restore the colors, this could make for a cool preservation project, I think.

$275 is the "Buy Now" price. I don't really have any money to spare for this, but maybe someone here is interested? I'll post this over on OT as well.

Before Sunrise (1995): Restored US Master

Posted by: The Aluminum Falcon - 2017-12-25, 11:16 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (1)

Know it's been a bit since I've completed a custom BD, but I'm looking at doing Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise (1995) as one of my next projects. It's one of my favorite films of all time, and I'd love to preserve it in the most theatrically faithful quality possible.

The Criterion release is wonderful, but I'm a bit skeptical about the color grading and contrast. Everything looks rather flat and a bit magenta-hued to my eyes, as if it was just scanned from an IP without extensive alteration. In fact, the overall color timing is more or less like the DVD for better or worse. But, unfortunately, I don't know for certain what the film looked like in cinemas, and I've never had the pleasure of seeing a 35mm print.

Does anyone have any experience with the film in 35mm? Anything helps, as I'm working completely blind here. If you've got photos from an old eBay auction, trailer cels, or even a particular cogent recollection of a screening Big Grin , please post in the thread!

Screencaps from the BD and DVD here for reference: http://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?d1=10022&d2=10023&c=4022

(I also have no idea how the international home video releases of this movie are like, so, if you know of one with radically different timing, it might be of use!)

Thanks everyone!
