[versions] Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan (1982)

[Chewtobacca]

It's probably a good idea to have a generic thread to discuss this film, especially the different versions of it.  This thread is also where I'l park useful links and other information for future reference.

Synchronizing the R1 DVD to the 2016 BD

The R1 DVD of the DC differs in frame-count compared to the relevant playlist (00801.mpls) on the 2016 BD.

Demux the DVD with PGCDemux.  Make an index with DGIndex,ensuring that Field Operation is set to Honor Pulldown Flags.

Code:

DVD = \
MPEG2Source("filepath.d2v") \
.TFM(d2v="filepath.d2v",slow=2) \
.TDecimate()

sync = \
blankclip(DVD,length=2) ++ \
DVD \
.DuplicateFrame(153968,144365) \
.DeleteFrame(141034) \
.DuplicateFrame(128821,73323,29592) ++ \
++blankclip(DVD,length=50)

return sync

Synchronizing the Sky HDTV Broadcast to the R1 DVD

After you correctly slow down the Sky HDTV cap of the DC, you need add only an initial delay of 42 frames to sync it to the R1 DC DVD; consequently, you can mux in the audio tracks from the latter after applying a negative delay (and accounting for the +4ms delay with which the DVD's tracks are flagged).

Code:

eac3to input output -1747ms
(-42*41.7ms=-1751.4ms)
-1751+4ms=-1747ms

Synchronizing the Sky HDTV Broadcast to the 2016 BD

Code:

Loadplugin("filepath\dgdecnv2053\DGDecodeNV.dll")

HDTV=DGSource("filepath.dgi")

HDTV2 = \
blankclip( HDTV, length=44 ) ++ \
HDTV.DuplicateFrame(153926,144323) \
.DeleteFrame(140992) \
.DuplicateFrame(128779,73281,29550) \
++blankclip(HDTV,length=85)

Very nice thread Chew. Here is one more you can include:

The ShoWest Trailer (which has the same deleted scenes, alt takes and longer takes)

FIRE!

[Chewtobacca]

Thanks!  I've added the ShoWest trailer to the OP.

I've also posted a script to sync the R1 DVD (DC) to the 2016 BD.

EDIT:  I've added my syncing details to post#2.

A Redone Effects Sequence

The old Read Along version...

[PDB]

I’ve seen a lot of examples of redone effects in modern cgi for TWOK. But this has always been my favorite. It reminds me of the old vector graphics of the era.

Thanks for the link, PDB; this reminded me the old Vectrex console, even if this is a glorified supercharged version... just great, kudos to the creator!

[Chewtobacca]

^^ Yeah, that one does a nice retro feel.

This series of videos is the most technically impressive I've seen.

finally found confirmation that the 70mm did not include the II on the title which is weird since the UK 70mm print did include it

finally found confirmation that the 70mm did not include the II on the title which is weird since the UK 70mm print did include it

Two vintage and faded US 35mm prints that showed up on eBay were missing the II also. So it’s not just a 70mm thing as previously thought.
