  Master and Commander tweaked audio
Posted by: Kameraposti - 2026-03-10, 02:28 PM - Forum: In progress - Replies (8)

Hi
This movie has great audio but it could be better.
I’ll try to make it sound better :-)
I’ll start with dtsma from bluray and replace the SW track with the one from dts dvd.
Then I’ll increase the stereo separation of the mix - dtsma is very narrow compared to for example Matrix Cinema DTS so thats my goal.
Then remove the muddines of the center channel - for some reason the higher freqs have been neutered and that makes the speech sound like its coming from a box.
I’ll give an update once I have ”a working prototype” Smile

  Inside Man (2006) Open Matte
Posted by: Hitcher - 2026-03-09, 05:54 PM - Forum: Released - Replies (5)

A police detective, a bank robber and a high-power broker
enter high-stakes negotiations after the criminal's
brilliant heist spirals into a hostage situation.

[Image: 8ixCLhdlF7ATtEAsNrYbuWVaj3V.jpg]

Sources:

Starz Open Matte 1080p (main video)
HDTV 400p (logo removal)
BluRay 1080p (DTS audio and AC-3 commentary)
DVD (named chapters)

Workflow:

HDTV was upscaled to 1080p to match the open matte and used when the Starz logo needed removing using a matte.

There were 2 scenes that featured a PSP video game that were filmed only in Cinemascope but were zoomed to fit the height on the open matte so the BluRay was used instead.

[Image: 4_s.png]

The BluRay DTS and AC-3 were added as well the DVD named chapters.
The video was aligned to match the BluRay making it easier to add additional audio tracks.

The Open Matte increases the height without any cutting of the sides.
