Fanres will be moved to another (hopefully better...) hosting service this weekend.

I will close the forum on Saturday around 12:00 GMT. After that, it's waiting for DNS servers to propagate. Expect a downtime of at least 24 hours.

So, basically after I watched this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_l-UJE4eiw - I decided to buy one of these devices and test them with Laserdisc player. Quality of video got nicely better than it would show up on my TV through just Composite connection, and it got rid of some of ghosting I had problem with using my LD-4300D.

If I have some time, I'll make some captures and post comparsion here. Maybe it's just placebo effect

Film reels from 8mm to 70mm is very rare now & unfortunately we can't expect to be officially scanned and released on Blu-Ray as bonus. So who have them... collectors all around the world.
They are gathering over 35mm-8mm forum and on various other sites, including eBay.

"I'll Make Him an Offer He Can't Refuse"

Free Scanning For Collectors

If they choose to sell some of the reels and want to have them digitized or just to have them as backup, it can cost a fortune. Some of them probably even don't have equipment to screen them, so this for them can be great opportunity to finally see them.

Making topic Free Scanning over 8-35mm forum... or PM them.

Offer is:
1. Borrow the reels for free
2. Free raw compressed as BD50, all above they need to pay for HDDs
3. Finished project for free: cleaned, color corrected... BD50
4. Call them to join to FanRes

The target can be 8-16mm, with some luck maybe 35mm too.

Good word can spread very fast.

Let's say that I have some of film reels. WOW! uperman:
But I don't have equipment to screening them. Damn! hock:
But even that I have equipment, and reels are in good-bad shape but that is not matter, why not to take this offer?

Hi all!

Would anyone consider preserving the original audio for Michael Mann's Heat?

Not only does the BD track omit, as per Mann's wishes, a line of off-screen dialogue ("Ferocious, aren't I?"), but the LD track allegedly, according to multiple OT.com posters, has far superior fidelity and overall dynamic range. I just caught a 35mm showing, and, man oh man, were those gunshots loud, in a way they don't seem to be on the BD.

The LD seems pretty cheap:

http://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/07098/14192/Heat

NOTE: The BD release is also missing the line "Shift through the detritus," but the accompanying video in this instance is missing, meaning a BD-synced LD track will have to omit the line as well.

NOTE2: The color timing is far different on the BD from the theatrical release! 35mm was much more saturated, with bold yellows and yes, even cyans! The fleshtones and lighting look so flat on BD compared to the print I saw. It seems like your average IP transfer, in which little attention was paid to emulating the stylistic theatrical look.

This makes me wonder how Thief actually did look upon release...

I'm old member over OT forum, but even with my poor English to following all that discussion/projects in Fans-World is really amazing. But even more amazing is that you collectors share them with public, so I'm really grateful for every bit of your work.

Thank you so much & I wish to all good luck. Cheers!

Anyone else? LOL

Hi perhaps this has been discussed but here it goes. I have an mkv file with multiple audio tracks I would like to burn to a DVD. I also wanna be able to customize my own chapters. So far Ive found two programs that were able to do this. DVDStyler and ConvertX. However, with both programs, the footage came out a bit 'boxier' than I wanted it. Its watchable but could arguably be better. My main DVD software is Nero but Nero can only burn one audio track. I also found a software called DVDFlick that can convert additional audio tracks but it wont let me customize my own chapters. Itll only set them for ever 5 mins., 10 mins., etc. I was considering using Sony Vegas/DVD Architect but heres the problem. 1. I need the Pro version if I wanna do multiple audio tracks 2. Pro version is very expensive 3. Pro version is for 64 bit computers. Mine is 32 bit. So does anybody have any other programs to recommend for doing this kinda stuff?? Thanx.

Hey all,

I purchased a few Widescreen Edition VHS tapes.  I really wanted the cool ass info cards that came with them.

Anyways, would anyone be interested in these if I cap and transfer them?  I purchased ST IV, Generations, First Contact, and Insurrection.  I am working on getting the TWOK which has an info card as well.  These are the only ones I've found on fleabay so far but I will search out the rest.  

Now I know it's VHS and there are LD, DVD, and Bluray versions but some of us watched them like this first.

Let me know.



If you like a specific part of this thread PLZ quote a post that mentions it when posting so that folks know exactly what you're interested in.

Thanks

... that means "Hello from ancient Greece!"

(If those greek characters [and where do you think Jason And The Argonauts came from, anyway?] magically carried over from Google-Translate to the thread subject, then Middle Earth isn't the only place of magic. But, like everything else, "sometimes the magic works, sometimes it doesn't"*.)

First off, I'm aware that there are threads on this site about softwares that will record analog. But I'm looking for something a little more specific. First off I have the Honestech Video Capture software. It works pretty good but here is my problem. The exported video has a 'ghosting effect' which I believe is called interlacing?? I'm not too knowledgeable in this field. Anyways below is a screen grab showing what I'm talking about. Note the image on the upper right has the 'overlap'. Also the device I used seems to be recording very bright, note the image on the bottom right. The images on the top and bottom left are from a DVD a friend captured for me some years back. He used EyeTV Hybrid for Mac. Now the brightness thing isnt that big a deal although I'd like to avoid it but I havent been able to find ways to work around the overlap with my main software. I'd try EyeTV Hybrid but its very expensive. Anyways any capturing software that anyone could recommend me where I could avoid all this and in a good price range?? I dont care if its for Mac or Windows. My Mac is my main computer but I actually do most of my video stuff on a spare Windows computer I have.
