大家好,我是来自China的Michael~

Howdy, all!

    nak50 here.  I'm really hoping folks on here have already started doing a fanrestore of The Flight of Dragons since the new restoration was beautiful . . . except we lost the top & bottoms of pictures that make it hard to watch when you know what was there.  Would love to see what's out there, & help if there are any active projects.  

         Cheers,

Sup guys! New here in town, and i am excited to be here. I'm happy to see an active forum that surround fan restorations and such, as i've always been interested in this stuff since i was a kid. Anyway, this is my formal Hello to you.

Greetings to the whole forum.

I've been an obsessive devotee of cinema since I was very young and joined this forum as means of both engaging with those similarly afflicted and, of course, with the hopes of accessing the great work people produce here.

The television is the retina of the mind's eye, after all.

After I got access to the Cinema DTS files of the film, I know I had to make this. Since the audio for the US Blu-ray seems to come from the PCM source, the international BD releases which contains the original UK audio, seems to be converted to DTS-HD MA from a Dolby Digital source, so what I did is that I used the US BD audio, patched the UK audio with the Cinema DTS audio, and called it a day. There are only two lines where the word "marrow" has been replaced to "melon" for the US release, so this one is easy to make.

As a bonus, I've also synced the attached short "A Christmas Caper" to the Madagascar BD, so if you got access to the link, they will contain both files.

Underrated Disney classic. Sucks that it was delisted from their streaming service. I originally bought the disc just for The Incredibles teaser (turns out its the abridged version that was also on the UK DVD of Finding Nemo), but after thinking about it, I bought the R1 DVD along with it to see what the film is like long after I saw a YouTube review from Media Hunter. I actually did three attempts since I bought the disc, and this is the third, using my own new skills.

Feel free to PM me if you want to listen to it.

Hi everyone, long time no see 🙂

Is anyone here intimately familiar with The Ten Commandments (1956)? I have it on Blu-ray and it features intermission music that comes to around 2:15.

However, I also have a copy of the projectionists' notes, which say:
"INTERMISSION MUSIC: An optical sound track, with the picture area black, has been provided for use during the intermission. It runs 4 minutes 40 seconds. It should be played through the screen speaker, with the scrim and douser closed.
In theatre screenings of THE TEN COMMANDMENTS it has been found that people return from the lobby when the intermission music is heard. It is suggested that this music be started approximately 3 minutes before the time established for the start of Part II of the picture."

I can't find any other reference to intermission music that runs for 4:40. There are a number of different soundtrack releases, but they all seem to either sit between 2:06 and 2:16, or omit the intermission music entirely.

I wondered whether the 4:40 claim in the notes was a typo, but that doesn't seem to mesh with the second paragraph: you'd want the 3-minute "buffer" to be shorter than the music, otherwise Part II would start before the published time. This implies that the music would be no less than 3 minutes long.

Does anyone know what's going on here?

Bit of a random question, but I've been trying to find a bit more info on the mix history of this movie on home video, and I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge on whether or not the discrete surround mix ever changed over the years?

It seems that a 5.1 mix was available on DVD all the way back in 2001, and I have zero clue if the mix itself ever changed over the years or if the only thing that changed was just the encoding itself?

Ghost in the Shell (1995)

I cut together a custom audio track. It syncs to the current U.S. and German Blu-rays. I believe you need a delay of -1001ms if you use it with the Japanese BD.

It's a mix of a compatibility track from Lionsgate Films that is Dolby Surround EX 5.1 with 48 kHz and 640 kbps but when it goes to the credits, it has the original song from the Bandai Namco Japanese UHD Blu-ray.

I didn't upmix it. The music is stereo.

I only re-encoded the credits music from lossless stereo to a matching format so they could be concatenated together without re-encoding the compatibility track.

Hello. I am new to this forum. I am interested in watching some of the preservations that several members here have worked on, and I may possibly have some ideas for projects of my own, even though I currently lack the experience or the tools to achieve it. However I am still awaiting approval from the moderators to allow me access to PM chat so that I may ask with kind permission for those projects despite the fact that I have already entered my activation code.

Thank you for taking the time to read my introductory post.
