[Released] Mad Max (1979) original color timing & mix
The DVD is stretched. 2.35:1 is the proper aspect ratio for the film and most all scope films of the era. The film was shot in the short lived TODD-AO 35mm format using 2.35:1 anamorphic lenses they made in the 1970s. They definitely could not afford to shoot this in 70mm at all. If you think it looks horizontally stretched, that's just the normal optical characteristics of an anamorphic lens (some circles look slightly oblong, etc.). Please render the film in its proper aspect ratio.

My bad... I was 100% sure that EVERY TODD-AO movies aspect ratio were 2.20:1! Eek

No problems, as the resize was made as last step... just removed it, and restarted the encoding - thanks for the advice! Ok

Sadly, encoding gone awry not once, but twice! Eek first time at 12%, second at 14%... I'm using Simple x264/x265 Launcher, never had a problem with it before... *maybe* because I chose to "prefer" 64bit avs2yuv? Well, encoding again, third time's the charm! Happy (even if I'm still at 9%... touching wood right now!)

EDIT: third time's the charm... nice myth! Again, stopped at 14%; downloaded another build from here https://vtt.to/refined%20x265%20builds - hope this will work!

I'm quite upset... the encoding continue to stop with error, at 9% or 14%... as I replaced the x265 exe file, I thought there must be somewhere in the source.

At first, I used an avisynth script with all pieces glued together; then, I encoded those pieces in a single file, still error. As the encoder does not accept lagarith (why?) I feed it with a simple avisynth script with just an avisource command. Nothing. Dunno if it's something about lagarith, or the fact the source is 8bit...

Now, I'm encoding a single file using x265 lossless 10bit; I *guess* (read: hope) this time would work... I'll let you know only when (if) the final x265 (non lossless) encoding will be ready.

What error message do you get? Just curious

Did you try using the german uhd2bd as the source? As the files are the same, maybe this will work but will be obviously 1080p.

Try encoding to a standard (1080p) BD in the first instance. See if you can get that to work.

Can you get a clip to encode successfully? There's no need to try to encode the whole thing each time.

Now it arrived at 15%. So it should not be some error in the source, because it must stop always at the same point (as I thought before, because it stopped often at 14%, but not always...)

Sure.

EDIT: now I'm encoding using ONLY the CLI... let's see!
