  Misinterpretated Text-Conversion-To-Smileys
Posted by: BronzeTitan - 2017-06-06, 05:41 PM - Forum: Bug reports and suggestions - Replies (2)

I came across this ...

:victory: [Image: confused.png]uperman: :victory:

... which reminded me of the same thing I had to deal with by Disable Smilies on a particular post.

Apparently, the algorithm used to determine text combinations for conversion to smiley graphics doesn't include assuring that the smiley text is completely isolated by spaces. The above example -- confused_smilies uperman: -- was from a colon, followed by the word "superman", followed by a colon. The present algorithm neglects a full-isolation check and so takes the starting colon and the first letter "s" (or "S") and immediately converts it to a smiley without consideration of the rest of the word from which it was taken.

BTW, this may have something to do with my seeing deletions, by the Delete and/or Backspace  keys, getting stuck in place (and not deleting anything). Maybe, too, it could be problems with copying a word that includes the preceding space and pasting it elsewhere but with that preceding space not pasting, too. It could be lower-level editing and/or parsing bugs. Worse still is that they are not consistently repeatable.   Cry

  Highlander 3 - US Theatrical Version
Posted by: Bigrob - 2017-06-05, 07:08 PM - Forum: Everything else... - Replies (1)

Hoping someone can clarify something.

From my understanding, Highlander 3 got two releases on home video. A directors cut with upgraded special effects and an international cut.

Was there ever a US theatrical cut? If so, was it released anywhere?

  Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Special Edition) (1991) 4X3 DVD
Posted by: deblock - 2017-06-05, 04:59 PM - Forum: Official and unofficial releases - Replies (16)

Hi, was there a T2 (Special Edition) 4X3 DVD ever released?

There is a bad rip/capture of T2 in XviD in NTSC resolution, but PAL fps and the fps goes down to ~12 fps for some parts and I would like to know the source for this rip/cpature. Anyone know?

From the file, the resolution seems DVD quality. Thank you.

  Article on videotapes decay and preservation

I thought this would be an interesting read for some of us: Videotapes are becoming unwatchable as archivists work to save them

They mention a tape preservationist group, anyone has ever heard of them?

  Showgirls - Improved Open Matte
Posted by: Colek - 2017-06-04, 07:10 PM - Forum: In progress - Replies (32)

This is just a quick project that apperantly will take me only few hours to finish, but decided to share.

Simply took the 720p open matte HDTV copy of Showgirls available, upscaled it to 1440p, filtered, sharpened, denoised, downscaled to 1080p, overlaid with clear Bluray copy (with reduced Chroma noise).

This just needs to be rendered now with .avisynth script and it's ready, except it'll take ~20 hours to do, so I am not in rush with doing so now Tongue

  Twin Peaks

Has anyone here been watching the Twin Peaks revival? I think it's pretty good so far (although perhaps a little indulgent in the weirdness).

Question loading a source divided in several files
Posted by: spoRv - 2017-06-03, 01:35 AM - Forum: Script snippets - No Replies

I wonder if there is a best way to load a 29.97fps (actually a 59.94 fields per seconds) interlaced source, divided in several parts, like a TV recorded program with commercial breaks cut away, or a laserdisc capture of several sides, and ITVC it, or if they are all the same...

Code:
# method 1 for MPEG-2
# load all parts on DGindex and save a single d2v file

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\Avisynth\plugins\dgdecode.dll")

film=mpeg2source("001-004.d2v").TFM(d2v = "001-004.d2v").TDecimate
...

Code:
# method 2 for MPEG-2
# load every part separately and save a d2v file for each one
# then TFM and TDecimate any part

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\Avisynth\plugins\dgdecode.dll")

part1=mpeg2source("001.d2v").TFM(d2v = "001.d2v").TDecimate
part2=mpeg2source("002.d2v").TFM(d2v = "002.d2v").TDecimate
part3=mpeg2source("003.d2v").TFM(d2v = "003.d2v").TDecimate
part4=mpeg2source("004.d2v").TFM(d2v = "004.d2v").TDecimate

film=part1+part2+part3+part4

...

# method 2 for avi
# TFM and TDecimate any part

part1=avisource("001.d2v").TFM.TDecimate
part2=avisource("002.d2v").TFM.TDecimate
part3=avisource("003.d2v").TFM.TDecimate
part4=avisource("004.d2v").TFM.TDecimate

film=part1+part2+part3+part4

Code:
# method 3 for MPEG-2
# load every part separately and save a d2v file for each one
# then TFM any part, and TDecimate the joined result

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\Avisynth\plugins\dgdecode.dll")

part1=mpeg2source("001.d2v").TFM(d2v = "001.d2v")
part2=mpeg2source("002.d2v").TFM(d2v = "002.d2v")
part3=mpeg2source("003.d2v").TFM(d2v = "003.d2v")
part4=mpeg2source("004.d2v").TFM(d2v = "004.d2v")

film=(part1+part2+part3+part4).TDecimate

...

# method 3 for avi
# TFM any part, and TDecimate the joined result

part1=avisource("001.d2v").TFM
part2=avisource("002.d2v").TFM
part3=avisource("003.d2v").TFM
part4=avisource("004.d2v").TFM

film=(part1+part2+part3+part4).TDecimate

Code:
# method 4 for avi
# join all the parts, then TFM and TDecimate

part1=avisource("001.d2v")
part2=avisource("002.d2v")
part3=avisource("003.d2v")
part4=avisource("004.d2v")

film=(part1+part2+part3+part4).TFM.TDecimate

I always use method 2 for laserdisc captures; I'm using the same for Harry Potter.
