  Duel (1971) - Original Mono from U.S. BD
Posted by: bendermac - 2017-12-31, 03:59 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (3)

The European BD didn't come with the original mono mix. It can only be found
on the U.S. BD. If someone has said BD, could you please share the audio?

Thanks Smile

  Edge Enhancement Removal
Posted by: Synnove - 2017-12-30, 12:31 PM - Forum: General technical discussions - Replies (12)

http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/127589

I'm doing a fan edit of Legend which involves editing together different transfers. Of the three available HD transfers, the American theatrical cut is the only one with edge enhancement applied, so it's somewhat jarring whenever I cut to it. The edge enhancement also results in the grain becoming overly coarse.

In the free edition of Nuke, I was able to conceal the edge enhancement using the "soften" filter and just messing with the settings until I got the just enough width to cover the halo. The grain was replaced using degraining tools in Digital Vision Phoenix, and my own regraining setup in Nuke.

The side effect is that your video will look softer than the original on comparison. However, on it's own, it looks perfectly suitable and is much more natural looking.

  007 Collection - 4k masters on Itunes?
Posted by: SpaceBlackKnight - 2017-12-30, 08:28 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (15)

I read here (https://www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?su...1514014662) that Itunes now has 4k masters of most of the bond films with some (mainly Goldeneye and a few others) being completely new transfers than what was on the Blu-ray sets. 

However, some sites report the 4ks only available to stream on Apple TV but then others say you can purchase the 4k as a download? I wonder if the 1080p versions on itunes were updated to the new 4k masters downconverted, so it would avoid the hassle of AppleTV?

These would be nice to see IMO (I hear some of them restore original UA logos), but I wonder if there's any way these can be properly preserved or something? Since ppl somehow have ripped from 4K netflix and recently UHD BD  (I wonder what software they used for since it's keys have been kept tightly closed) I imagine someone sooner or later is working on getting iTunes 4k downloads out in the wild.

  xvYCC for x264
Posted by: nightstalkerpoet - 2017-12-29, 10:16 PM - Forum: Converting, encoding, authoring - Replies (10)

Has anyone really worked with the x264 xvYCC color transfer setting? For a specific example - I am unimpressed with HDR on lower end TVs. It tends to leave a very dull picture, which is very disappointing when dropping money on UHD discs. With more UHD discs becoming available as sources, I was wondering if anyone has tried to take, lets use Harry Potter as an example, the 4k UHD, and reencode to a 1080p xvYCC bluray compatible file. That way, we get the color benefits of 10 bit without the somewhat unbalanced HDR implementations.

I ask mostly because everywhere I read says using transfer characteristics in x264 is frequently pointless.

  Around the World in 80 Days 2004 Open Matte Amazon JPN
Posted by: maksnew - 2017-12-29, 08:51 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (1)

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

  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.
