Authoring PCM and Dolby on same blu ray. |

I'm having some issues with athoring in Encore. I have 2 DTS-HD, 1 PCM and several dolby AC3 tracks I want to include.
Encore has the option of PCM or Dolby audio. If I use Dolby setting, encore transcodes my PCM track to a much lower bitrate dolby track, all of the audio tracks work in powerDVD. If I replace the track in tsmuxer with the PCM original, there is no sound played for the PCM track in powerDVD.
If I use PCM setting, all of the dolby tracks are converted to PCM, making the m2ts file 5gb larger than it should be. If I replace the PCM tracks with the original dolby tracks in tsmuxer, none of them have sound in powerDVD.
Is there something I can do in encore or tsmuxer to sort this out. Failing that, could something like bdedit be used to change the PCM/ dolby flag on each indvidual track so that powerDVD plays them correctly?

As a special project for myself, I wanted take the Cinema DTS sound mix and sync it to the Blu Ray release. Through the good graces of Jetrell Fo, I’ve obtained the film’s Cinema DTS CD-ROMs from his collection. I was able to extract the discs and gain access to each of the reel’s audio files---each reel contains 6 mono wave files representing the film’s surround soundtrack (Front Left Channel, Front Right Channel, Center Channel, Lower Frequency Effects Channel, Surround Left Channel, and Surround Right Channel).
I’ve selected a reel to work-on—one that has a well-rounded mix of normal speaking dialogue and aggressive sound effects, but not involving the film’s climatic sequences. It's the one where the ship hits the iceberg. The software I’ve used were the free Audacity and a high-end one, not free, I’ve been using for over a decade, Steinberg’s WaveLab 4.0.
After making my syncs of the 6 mono waves to the clip from the Blu Ray and lowering the sound level of the surround channel by 3 decibels, the real work was in the center channel. In it, there were passages where the sound level was very soft, like the dialogue; and others where the sound level was very high, like the sound effects. As is, the viewer would have to turn the volume up and down every 5 seconds, especially when the film’s climatic part comes in. By applying a limiter and raising the gain, I was able to get the center channel to an acceptable level…
…however, that is my perception. This is where you all come in. I need another pair of hears to check-out my work before I work on the remaining 9 reels.
So, here it: a sample of one reel—an MKV video that contains a rip from the Blu Ray with 2 audio options that feature the following mixes:
- A 16bit/48k, 5.1 channel LPCM of the Cinema DTS sound mix
- A 24bit/48k, 5.1 channel DTS-HDMA of the Blu Ray release, for comparison

Thank you, all, for your time and help.

We decided to merge a couple of subforums together to streamline Fanres a bit.
"Movies" and "Cartoon, TV series" were merged into "Movies, TV and other"
"Restorations, preservations, edits etc." and "Available releases" into "Official and unofficial releases"
"Bug reports" with "suggestions"
Also "Encoding, editing and authoring" was changed to "Audio and video editing" and "Conversion and mux/demux" to "Converting, encoding, authoring".
All threads were moved appropriately.

Colorize black & white video |

I'm working on a Star Wars project, where there is few deleted scenes in black & white; I'd like to colorize them, and I'm aware that the only way to do it properly is to do it by hand, frame per frame - but I can't think to do it for thousand frames...
The alternative is to find an automatic way to do that for the whole clip - using, for example, ChromaJig avisynth filter, that is way less than perfect, even if it do something - or feed each frame as separate image to one of the online free colorization app - and even if this method is generally better than the previous, results are not very good in many cases...
Someone colorized a b&w video before? If so, how?

Die Hard - New HD Master on Netflix? |

Hi guys hope everyone's enjoying their weekend. Whenever an old, 'catalogue' title shows up on netflix I always have a look to see if the master they are using is the same as the Blu ray. Usually it's the same (save compression/filtering), sometimes it isn't. Sure enough the versions of Die Hard they are streaming right now is different. Obviously there's been talk of a 4K restoration of Die Hard that has yet to materialise on Blu ray- could this be from that master? Unfortunately being on netflix means that it is somewhat bitstarved but sure enough there seems to be more detail, especially in static shots and close ups. Also the transfer seems to be rock solid in terms of telecine wobble and there are scenes which have been timed differently with some teal grading here and there.
I've trawled the net for more info but no-one else seems to be discussing this. Am I barking up the wrong tree? In any case I have captured the film to my hard drive and perhaps there's a project to be had from this. All I know from the past is that the 4k master for Robocop showed up on Netflix before the blu ray... I should also note that I'm in the UK and I don't know if it's the same across Europe/The States.
I should mention that there is a different, possibly 4k master of John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China on netflix too but trust me, that deserves it's own thread.
