I captured a VHS in VirtualDub and for some reason I chose MAGY codec when I captured it. HOW do I get it from the AVI it’s in now to an mpeg file, keeping the pcm audio, so that I can do a DVD9 size for this release? I asked over @ OT but have gotten no answer so far.

Thanks

Yesterday I went to a cinema, to watch the 2D version; ready to be completely blasted away, and... simply, it didn't happen!

Without spoilering anything, at the end of the movie I just thought: "this was an EP 4 remake... yes, new charaters (but not only), new worlds, new aliens, new enemies... but basically the same story, more or less..."

Was it bad? Nope, was fun, entertaining, but, apart few surprises, it was like most of the time I was watching just a sort of "reinterpretation" of EP 4 (and/or EP 5 and/or 6 here and there)...

So, waiting a fresh new movie, I was disappointed to discover an old story, just "refreshed"... and, many persons at the end of the movie thought this, so *maybe* it's not *just* the fact I'm overly exigent!

So it turns out there's more to the Back to the Future films than I'd realised!




My only question is whether all three movies were shot like this. They probably were. Anyway, I'd love to see the open-matte versions even if they're not HD, although that'd be an added bonus. Same goes for other open-matte films, actually.

So I would want to capture Laserdisc that I have, but I would want to get the best video and audio quality out of it.

I guess the best video capture device would be this - http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-USB3H...00PC5HUA6/ ,but what about loseless audio? Should I just get high-end soundcard for PC and use line-in?

Hey guys -

First off, thanks so much for the work you do, I've been a lurker/fan for a while now (both here and originaltrilogy).

@jerryshadoe - sword in the stone is absolutely beautiful. i lurked on the trail end of your in-progress thread, and have REALLY enjoyed the final product. A good friend of mine is both a Disney fan and a sound installer for the hollywood-powers-that-be, and he did a double take when hearing the LD audio while seeing the open matte presentation (he has the LD, asked "What, How???!!!").

Absolutely amazing - thank you for the time and care you put into it! And while on the thanks-train, I have to say thanks to the entire thread, as it's been a great education.

Now time to be a tool myself..

Probably wrong place to ask, but are there restore/HD threads for classic baseball movies?

The Natural
Field of Dreams
Bull Durham
Bad News Bears
Sandlot
A League Of Their Own
Major League
etc?

And on top of that - I'm a huge fan of the negative1 film restorations over on originaltrilogy. 

I've been tracking the most recent stuff, and am really hopeful that someone reading this will be willing to send a PM for a myspleen account- i'm also lurking on the forums, but I know that's not a way to get in anymore...

I'm more than willing to leave stuff up for seeding

Cool to still see you guys at it. I was an observer back in the days of the old forum, was curious to see how some of those projects progressed.

Keep it up fellas

Can someone provide a simple how-to with pictures for combining separately captured sides of a laserdisc using Virtualdub? I've got the SE Trilogy and TPM captured. I used 1 disc for each side so that I could combine them and edit out the side breaks. I am unsure as to how I would properly edit out the blank frames properly so that all sides fit together without losing any audio or frames. Having visual examples with some basic instructions would be easy for me to work with.

Thanks,

Shawn

I wrote it as a comment at myspleen but I thought to start a new thread here too.
With these 2 recent uploads at myspleen of telecine transfers in Russian Blurays of 2 films (The Mechanic and Shutter Island), I was wondering if there are other Russian Blurays like this, of pre-2000 movies.

Hi guys,

I was wondering how could I add name for my Bluray disc that would later show up in players, like SpoRv does with his releases.
