  syncing laserdisc audio to blu-ray?
Posted by: crom - 2015-05-25, 11:53 PM - Forum: Capture and rip - Replies (11)

What programs do you guys use to sync laserdisc PCM audio to blu-ray video? Do you just slap the LD audio and BD video in a video editing program and then sync from there?

I plan on getting an LD player in the near future so I can try this process myself, as there are several blu-rays that I'd like to watch with LD audio.

  Need help joining files by muxing.
Posted by: DoomBot - 2015-05-25, 10:45 PM - Forum: Converting, encoding, authoring - Replies (3)

So my problem is taking a video i encoded and mux or join it with another video file. I can't seem to encode it exactly like the movie file. I don't want to re-encode the entire movie just remux it. I'm replacing one intro with another but i get this (H264 warn: Force frame_mbs_only_flag division invalid detected. Cancel this flag)

Here's the intro as an avi  https://mega.co.nz/#!EUNA0QgY!ZgP0WHRo9a...DgSTp-d48c
Audio to go with the intro  https://mega.co.nz/#!cJFhGQZD!cyzNUU1lb5...tUSJbtXAZs

Here's a sample from the first 30 seconds of the movie https://mega.co.nz/#!hcdlFLhA!evjSD8xZL-...UdlCvPRkj8

MediaInfo only tells me so much.

Any help would be great  Smile

  HDTV movies (still) not commercially released in HD
Posted by: spoRv - 2015-05-25, 11:41 AM - Forum: Official and unofficial releases - Replies (1)

Well, sometime there is some HDTV movie that is still not available on BD, nor on WEB download... here you are my latest "discoveries" - recorded bit-perfect (until the occasional broken frame occurs...):

Qualcuno in ascolto (a.k.a. High Frequency) (1988) -> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095940
Lucky Numbers (2000) -> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0219952
Hurlyburly (1998) -> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119336

first one has few broken frames, but would be *quite* easy to fix them; I should check the others, recorded this very night; all of them has (still) the logo but, apart the first which was not ever released on DVD, and so I should rely on "simple" delogo filters, the other two have a DVD release that could be used for the "patch" source to delogo them...

Have you "saved" from the oblivion any interesting movie?

Thumbs Up Mad Max: Fury Road
Posted by: PDB - 2015-05-25, 03:54 AM - Forum: Movies, TV shows and other - Replies (7)

So how many of you out there have seen this and what did you think?

Here are some of my initial thoughts.

I loved it. Fury Road is basically the final chase scene from MM2/Road Warrior stretched out into a full feature. That sounds like a formula for disaster, but George Miller never lets the action overwhelm the viewer or frankly become boring and repetitive. He also succeeds in building character in short pauses between the chaos.

Also as many have pointed out I was so happy to see Miller for shot the movie without shaky cam, snap zooms, breaking the frame or any of the technique that initially seemed interesting but have been done to death in the last 2 decades. I can actually appreciate the full frame and see everything that's going on. I know he does use a bit of over-cranking but hey, that has been in his bag of trick for a long while, so its fair game. I was disappointed to not see any classic, swipe dissolves like in MM2.

In a perfect world I would Gibson back to play the character he is most associated with but he has too many troubles at this point and is too old to do these stunts. Regardless, Tom Hardy equips himself well. He takes a stripped down, lone wolf character and strips it even further. He barely speaks in the movie letting his actions do the talking, all the while the audience only gaining insight to he character through his memories (or is it delusions) of the people he could save. That puts the question of this being a reboot or a sequel up in the air. There are so many call-backs to the other films but this movie never really will fit well in the continuity. It stands on its own. There have been people complaining that Max gets short-changed in his own movie. That Furiousa is the main character. Well they are right, she is sort of the main character. Max just get caught up in her quest. But I have to say I didn't feel short changed. I felt it was more adding another great character to the long list of great Mad Max characters.

If I had a couple of complaints, they are minor, nit-picky and come from the place of a fan. I wish they had shot on film. I know why they didn't, with the hours and hours they shot from numerous camera, many of which were destroyed but all the same I miss grain. Grain would of fit this movie perfectly. I also would of loved to see Bruce Spence in a role being a big part of two of the previous movies. But that's just the fan in me. And man, the Interceptor just can't catch a break.

  [request] Mad Max Australian Mono from Shout BD
Posted by: bendermac - 2015-05-24, 11:52 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (8)

Can someone please provide the australian audio mono track from the Shout Factory BD, as it is lossless for the first time.
I'd like to sync it to the MGM BD, which only has the audio in lossy Dolby Sad

Thanks Smile

PS: The Trailers and TV Spots would be welcomed as well :cool:

  Eurovision Song Contest
Posted by: spoRv - 2015-05-24, 01:07 AM - Forum: Everything else... - Replies (4)

Yes, I confess... I watched it - like the past three or four editions - and I liked it...

Winner song was good and easy to remember, "Heroes"; I liked also "Golden Boy" and "Love Injected", and also "Warrior" (Georgia) and "Beauty Never Lies"; not bad Russia, Albania, Spain and UK...

Of course, the usual "I vote my nearby Country" trend continues...

Anyone have seen it? And, what's your thought?

  Superman IV
Posted by: Booshman - 2015-05-23, 06:06 PM - Forum: Released - Replies (22)

The project I'm working on is a recolur of Superman 4. I haven't been trying to match the DVD colour timing, but to make the colours more favourable than the bluray. The suit looks very green in a lot of shots, and the skin tones orange. The whole film is just a bit too overly vivd for my liking. Unfortunately I noticed that through my effots to change the suit back to blue, this has affected other green objects on the frame. My thinking now has been that if I can get the bluray to look somwhat like the DVD colours, where the suit is consistently blue, I can then colour correct from there and avoiid the issues I'm having with the green.

I ran a few clips with mixed results. Here's some comparison pictures.

  [proposal]Qualcuno in ascolto (High frequency) (1988)
Posted by: spoRv - 2015-05-22, 09:42 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (4)

Yesterday I recorded this Italian movie (IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095940) from an HDTV channel; quality is not anywhere real HD, though...

The good thing is that it seems a direct film-to-video conversion, with grain, scratches etc... and, there is even no retail DVD, just VHS.

Bad thing, it misses the end credits, but they could be taken from the VHS; color grading is different from VHS - that is obviously messed up; still don't know if the HDTV is the *right* one...

Thoughts?

Over at blu-ray.com forum a member said that the 2014 release of the AVP & AVP-R double feature on Blu-ray fixed the seamless branching and missing scenes of AVP-R. Does anyone may have this set and could provide the proper unrated version of AVP-R?
