  White, black and blue speckles
Posted by: Evit - 2017-07-05, 06:35 PM - Forum: General technical discussions - Replies (19)

I've been busy doing a digital clean-up of another film lately, removing unwanted speckles from a home video product, and I noticed that, judging by colour alone, there are at least three types of speckles appearing throughout: black, white and blue speckles.
Anybody knows where they come from, at which stage of the film processing they are introduced, what do they tell us about the source used?

Another episode in the "right" color grading series... Big Grin

Found an interesting comparison here and I've added the HDTV caps;

from top to bottom: Italian VHS, DVD, HDTV (BD should be the same):

  Easiest way to get M2TS (H.264) into ProRes?
Posted by: Behodar - 2017-07-03, 10:55 PM - Forum: Converting, encoding, authoring - Replies (9)

Hi everyone,

What's the easiest way to take an H.264 stream from a Blu-ray and get it into ProRes format? My current process is embarrassingly complicated to the point where I don't even want to describe it Tongue

Mac tools are preferred, but I also have a Windows machine. Admittedly I don't know much about working with video under Windows - I don't even know whether a ProRes codec is available - so any Windows instructions would need to be newbie-friendly.

It seems that I may need to avoid (or at least limit the use of) QuickTime; some Blu-ray H.264 files work OK when dropped into QT Pro (after remuxing into .m4v) but others end up with duplicated or dropped frames - a brief search has indicated that QT doesn't really "like" some Blu-ray-sourced files.

Anyway, I'll shut up now and let you answer the question Smile

Any tips?

PS. If there's another Mac-compatible codec that can accomplish the same sort of job then I'm all ears. And free tools are preferred, although I don't mind spending a small amount.

  EQ of the X curve
Posted by: Tomlinson Holman - 2017-07-03, 07:31 PM - Forum: Audio and video editing - Replies (38)

Hello!

Cinemas and mixing theaters have a non flat frequency response. The sound systems are allignment to create a torwards higher frequencies falling curve, the so called X curve.
This means that every soundtrack from the cinema is optimised for this reponse and not for a flat response which most hifi / home speakers have.

When cinema sound is remastered for home use, this is mostly equalised by the studios. At the beginning of Laserdisc and DVD this was not the case and THX added a function
called Re-EQ, which did reduce the heights for cinema soundtracks not sounding brighter as it was meant to be.

Some projects here are using soundtracks from cinema, like the DTS cds. My question is therefore, if it is common in most projects to compensate the X curve or not?

Thanks!

Added a simple spoiler tag, just use

Code:
[spoiler]

[/spoiler]
to get the following:

hidden text

now I hope Feallan can find a way to add a button to the editor...

Please, use it for very long text, like mediainfo for examples.

Oh, and report if it doesn't work on some browser/OSs.

  Any way to watch VUDU mp4 files in MKV format?

Hey all ...

I want to download some of my VUDU movies and put them in to an MKV format so I can watch them using a different media player but they apparently have drm. Anyone know a way around this?

Thanks,

Shawn

Hello!

I just joined the forum because I am interessted in listen to the original theater sound mix of movies. Hopefully I will find some other people here who prefer that as well and that we can work together on some interesting projects.

Looking forward to Smile
