Cool. If you need someone to test it, I'm volunteering.

I would love it jerry, I'll send you the link when its ready to go

[jerryshadoe]

Awesome!

Once all is verified to be "ok," are you planning on doing a BD-25 release in BD format or just an mkv?

[PDB]

I think a MKV. I would of loved to do BD releases for Blade Runner and Alien but it seems to be a bottleneck for me.

I don't expect this release to be perfect given the sources but I want to get it as close as possible.

[jerryshadoe]

Judging by the screenshots and little sample of opening AR, this looks a lot better than your initial sample.

Yeah, I can see why you would do mkv, although multiAVCHD isn't that hard to learn but is semi-limited compared to a pro authoring program.

Thanks, jerry but I should say garbage, in garbage out you know? The HDTV broadcasts are far from perfect. Even the FXX one has compression issues in the sandstorm sequence although re-graining all the IMAX parts helped (they were de-grained).

Well I would love to do menus and covers, the whole Team Blu thing but that seem to be a bit out of my reach. I spent a lot of time working on menus for Alien and Blade Runner and never got them to look...pro, you know? They always looked ametuer. So it was wasted months working on that when I should of been working on the video and audio, instead.

My thought is to always make it easy to convert these to BD for those who want it. The MKV is in the BD spec and video is synced to the US BD for language and subs muxing.

[jerryshadoe]

I guess it depends on the level of "decomposition" of said garbage

Yeah, I've noticed how applying a real 35mm grain plate can help a lot in masking some compression artifacts.

Indeed, authoring BDs is very different from authoring DVDs. I could make a professional looking DVD with no problem and in very little time because there is plenty of software to do this. Authoring BDs is just too limited and I understand your frustration with the fact that no matter what you do, the result still looks kinda amateurish.

Releasing MKV definitely saves a lot of time by not having to do the entire disc authoring part and you're right that anyone that wants to, can author it themselves pretty easily from the mkv.

[jedeitor]

You're right, Jerry.

I quite mastered DVDmaestro at the time and it was easy to get pro results in little time. With bluray authoring I have no clue.

For those of you still following this project, I figured out a way to get better detail and resoltuion out of the footage I have (not to mention color timing matching the BD)

Also got the patch work a little better. Still fails in some frames but hopefully not as noticable

Hi, PDB, a link to the reconstructed scene, please?
