To simplify, this is what we have:
For the DVHS project Doombot and I have, we have not done anything to the video, it comes as is from the DVHS cap we obtained. There are two audio choices available, Kevin will correct me if I'm wrong on this. We have the DTS that came with the cap and the cinema DTS which was kindly synched by Doombot himself. We have an opening DVHS bumper and a 35mm trailer scan kindly provided by Jonno. I also have saved a podcast commentary for our version that has not yet been synched. I will get with Doombot about this. We are wanting HDVinnie to adapt a bluray menu from the anthology for this release if possible and a custom video trailer which highlights the significance of the DVHS release so that credit can be given to those fans involved in making it possible. I just don't want our names overshadowing the meat of the project itself. The fact that it's available in this format is far more important than all the little stuff. The color timing of the DVHS is unique to it's release which is what makes it so special aside from the cinema DTS inclusion and the trailer. This means there are 2 separate Alien preservations/archival projects. I am wanting ours to stay a BD25 release to keep with the file size and quality. I am hoping Doombot will chime in here and add to or specify any ideas or issues he may have before we move forward. Thanks to all involved and all who believe in Alien. This is for fans by fans. As it should be.  Check this out ..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GYG-hZfNv8 This is not a video by us. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-VHS#D-Theater I would LOVE to get X-Men and X2 for preservation as well. I have cinema DTS for both.

Yep it's 2 DTS tracks to choose from. The video being DTheater is of course Mpeg2 1080i 29.97fps. Normally i would say maybe we should convert it to 1080p h264 but it plays so well i didn't feel the need. Most of the DTheater movies out there need encoding to 1080p. Right now we're looking at 21.1GB in a m2ts container. So yeah if it were encoded with h264 we could have more room for extras. I wasn't thinking about that at the time though.

Sorry, Vinnie. I wasn't sure who you were talking to.
I actually have the X-men DVHS films in storage somewhere. Shame, I can't do the the Firewire/5C capture. Otherwise I'm looking forward to the Alien DC final product. Should be great stuff. Thanks given by:

Do you want me to start a separate thread for it PDB? I don't want things to be confused if you feel they might be. As for those X-Men films .... they would be great to have. Maybe someone who can do a capture will step forward and offer some assistance.
I believe our projects will compliment each other nicely.

I'm not one of those guys that believes the thread has to be 100% on topic (Within reason). Life doesn't go that way.

But in order for me to do a menu and test i would somewhat need the m2ts file. Not sure if your ok with that or not but let me know. Its safe with me

I’ve contributed a post in the 4.1 sound thread of originaltrilogy.com that I would like you and all Alien fans to read.
http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.c...Post794872 It’s in regards to a sound mix in one specific scene in the film that appears only in the 2-channel Dolby Surround version. I’ll have links to playable audio WAV files to help explain this. Thanks, Alex |
