[Released] Harry Potter saga - open matte
Well... ugh. Anyone with an idea on how to get 4-8 of these to me, it would be greatly appreciated. Coming from myspleen, I was kinda blindsided by the intense seeding rules on blutopia, considering I was banned with a ratio over 1.0...

PPPPLLLLLLLEEEEAAAAAASSSSEEEEEE

If anyone is kind enough to share another invite over there, I promise it will not be squandered. Sad

I see that, a nice collection of movies there.. only problem im having is finding a UHD drive that will play with their software stateside... I own all the HP movies in 4K. But i guess i can wait a little while and someone will release remuxes in the wild.

Someone on rarbg has started to upload full BD's of 4k versions.

Andrea, Just finished watching the first 6 films. Well done indeed!
Other than a few glitches in the image which don't amount to 10 seconds throughout the whole 6 films, it was a very pleasing experience Smile

nightstalker, are you asking for another invite to blutopia? if so bud, that is just wrong, if someone did that they could lose their account as well, you're better off going to their discord channel and trying to talk with staff. But you do need to read the rules, we want that place to be somewhere where stuff actually survives long term, that is why it is setup that way.

@nirbateman: interesting... they would be useful at least for HP3 and HP7, video wise, while all for the DTS:X track.

Thanks for your kind words! About glitches...

PROBLEMS AND FIXES!

Sadly, some problems have been spotted throughout the whole saga; to fix them, you can just replace the wrong frames/shots with the fixed ones, or wait for fixed versions - or, better, remastered ones!

HP2: two frames with glitches, due to HDTV broadcasting errors
HP4: initial shot stutters, don't know why, as the lossless version is good
HP5: one frame with glitches, due to HDTV broadcasting error
HP8: four frames with glitches, due to master error


you can find the fixes in the first post; if you can find out further problems, don't exitate to write a post here!

REMASTERED VERSIONS

No ETA on these, but I'm really thinking about them... if/when UHD sources would be available, I'll release them with the following features:
  • previous problems would be fixed
  • all would get at least English DTS:X audio tracks - dunno if dropping DTS-HD MA altogether, though
  • HP1 would use a second source, to obtain higher quality
  • HP3 would use UHD, to obtain higher quality
  • HP6 would discard lower quality sources, to obtain higher quality
  • HP7 would use UHD for cropped scenes, to obtain higher quality
opinions are welcome!

UHD sources are available, all the HP discs have been cracked and are being uploaded currently. But they are unlikely to be open matte, so the best you could do is replace the cropped scenes. Which might not be that bad an idea.

The biggest glitch that memory conjures up is Dumbledore's hair near the end of the first film, when his back his turned, on 2 separate shots there is discolored blocking, the rest are a few frames long, so I can't remember anymore.

Could the 4k releases be used as a basis for open matte? I understand those are new masters, with improved color and definition, could they be overlayed over the open matte broadcasts and then the left over image recolored to match?

I'll take a look; if someone else could remember exactly where these are, it would be really helpful.

Sure, for the whole HP3 and for most HP7, and I'll use the UHD as sources, then downscale them (instead using upscaled BD) and crop; for the others, I think it could be done theoretically, but I'll never attempt to do that! Big Grin
