  DDVT Tool Mismatched Lengths?
Posted by: X5gb - 2023-05-05, 08:59 PM - Forum: Converting, encoding, authoring - Replies (7)

Trying to inject DV rpu from DV iTunes Web-dl mp4 into HDR iTunes Web-dl mp4 (same movie/same provider) using DDVT Tool but getting Mismatched Lengths at the combine stage:

[Image: qBWptbG.jpg]

Is this normal or what am I doing wrong, both original files same size. Read re-compressed files can cause this but they are direct downloads in mp4 (video only). Also read about some DV files only having certain frames with DV but these are iTunes (same Amzn) and DV is included in all frames as far as I am aware.

Tried it with an another Dv and hdr movie and same thing.

  Beauty and the Beast (1991) 35mm (help needed)
Posted by: framemaster - 2023-05-03, 03:27 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (16)

I have the chance to get a German print of BATB scanned.

The film is accompanied by some features (short trailers “Jungle Book”, “Bambi” and the Goofy-cartoon “How to Dance”).
To finance the project, we would need 750€.

A grindhouse-version will be provided to donors shortly after the print is scanned.
A cleaned version might be added later, but that’s not sure.

This project will also tie into my other UHD Blu-Ray fix project. The UHD / BD has modified scenes (modified backgrounds, or removed elements) and a calibration that does not make everyone agree.
Only a 35mm print would correct this.

The 35mm version will have at least the following audio:
English (2.0 Laserdisc), German (2.0 optical), French (2.0 Laserdisc).
If all goes well, I could add European audio tracks that I own: Spanish, Portuguese, Italian 5.1, as well as English 7.1.

I specify that only donors will receive the file.
If you’re interested, please send me a PM !
Thank you to future participants.

Current total donations: 155€

  The David Fincher Project: Seven/Fight Club/The Game/Panic Room
Posted by: PDB - 2023-05-02, 05:40 PM - Forum: In progress - Replies (20)

I cancelled this for the time being since the 4K UHD of Seven was just announced.

Addendum: Well the Seven UHD was not good and having doubts about Fight Club after seeing the UHD of Panic Room. So this project is back on.

Project Info:
Rewriting this intro: So I had originally started this project for different reasons but now the intent to provide alternatives to the UHDs that Fincher is producing.

Seven

Video:
This project will encompass two versions of Seven. Maybe a third.

1. Will be an 2160p upscale and 1000 nit HDR grade of the existing BD. Probably not as good as the UHD but hoping without all the faults of the UHD.

2. The second version uses the old Seven transfer as seen in the New Line DVD. The source is the Canadian open matte BD. I tend not to use open matte transfers for recreating OAR projects as they normally are cropped on the sides. In this case I found the Canadian transfer to have more info on the side than the DVD.

So I first IVTC's the BD's 1080i transfer into 1080p. I then cleaned-up compression, mitigated some EE and some other issues and then upscaled the project to 4K. I lined this upscaled video with the New Line DVD and roughly cropped the OM transfer to match the DVD's 2.39 transfer. Finally I synced this to the timing of the OAR US BD by adding one extra frame.

Since this master is very bright especially compared to the BD, I adjusted the black level and added some contrast to match the SE DVD. Not as much as the BD but hopefully more pleasing.

3. The last possible version will be the above second version with a light scene-by-scene regrade to the laserdisc. The two masters (SE DVD and LD) are fairly close with the ending being the major differnce. See here:

Fight Club

Hello everyone, 

I found this forum via a search for an upscaled HD copy of the Millennium. Most posts on this forum are gold to a film nerd like myself. [Image: shy.png]

  AI Subtitle Generation
Posted by: stwd4nder2 - 2023-04-25, 06:46 PM - Forum: General technical discussions - Replies (5)

I'm currently working on restoring a German film (thread coming soon) that has never had a subtitled public release. I found one source of fansubs, but they're completely out of time, full of errors, and missing dialogue.  
Are there any good AI models that can generate subtitles based off an audio track? That would be a helpful start in creating an English friendly release.


Alternatively does anyone here speak German and want to translate an entire film for me?  Big Grin

  Akira - Definitive Version (W.I.P. - I Need Material)
Posted by: metahades - 2023-04-25, 04:54 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - No Replies

Hello, this will be the last publication I make, prior to the official launch of the project that will bring together all the dubbing and subtitles in the world, with the best video source. This will include all the extras with the most subtitles and dubbing.

From row 125, you will be able to see all the material that I have used to date to make the final version of Akira, They are more than 50, which is soon to be done in the synchronization stage of all sources: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...1721557612

PLEASE! Contact me if you have anything on this list or if you have official material that has been dubbed or subtitled (vhs, laserdisc, dvd, blu-ray, tv, among others), Also, if there is material that they do not have, we could get together to buy the missing supplies. I would also really appreciate sharing this post.

This is the material I am looking for in a digital file, to be able to rescue the audios and subtitles for the project:

OTHERS! - Do you have material that has been subtitled, dubbed, voice-over, rescore, among others, that is not on this list? It also counts, let me know.

I’m also looking for the LaserDiscs from Japan, the USA, Hong Kong, I have them digitized, but they weren’t made on a domesday, it would be great if someone had them, to send it to Tanks to be digitized in maximum quality.

  Dune (1984): Complete Collection
Posted by: Hydra Spectre - 2023-04-22, 11:21 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (1)

So, here are my ideas for an ideal release of Dune (1984), which compiles the ideal versions of all cuts of the film, as well as English fansubs for foreign-language bonuses.
My ideas for the sources would be:

  • Arrow 4K UHD
  • German Koch Media (now Plaion/Embracer Group) 4K UHD Ultimate Edition
  • Spicediver's 1080p Alternative Edition Redux
  • Japanese Happinet 30th Anniversary Special Edition Box

This is how it would be assembled:
  • Theatrical Cut (Arrow 4K UHD + Arrow 2K Blu-ray; Arrow has 24-bit audio and Dolby Vision; a 4K HDR version would be included alongside a 1080p legacy version; Arrow also has the audio commentaries)
  • Extended Edition (Embracer Group Ultimate Edition Blu-ray Disc 2, Embracer Group has an exclusive semi-4K restoration of this cut)
  • Spicediver Cut (Alternative Cut Redux 1080p Edition)
  • Bonuses from Arrow, Embracer Group and Happinet sources. Embracer Group has an exclusive documentary (in English) and an exclusive interview in German with no subtitles, Happinet has many exclusive interviews, some of which are in French with Japanese subtitles. The French and German interviews would have new English fansubs.

Unfortunately, I probably can't do this as I can't buy any of this and I don't have the equipment to do this task.
