Clip looks really nice, can't wait for this to be completed! :)

I have this set .....

If there is something you need from it let me know.  I'll do what I can.

Jurassic Park (1993) [41830] CAV

Thank for the offer, Jetrell, but I have this set too, along with the "normal" CLV version... I will not use them, until someone think that its soundtrack is better or different than the UK PAL, or of my experimental conversion (from DTS to AC3 5.1 640kbps)...

If everything will go allright, it will be released next week!

I love the CAV set.  Maybe I'll do my own custom transfer for home with the DTS audio I have.  I am not very capable with AviSynth but I do use VirtualDub and maybe I can make a nice little presentation for my home viewing pleasure ..... having a version in letterbox is always nice.

Thanks for considering my offer.  It is appreciated.

Hi there.

It's Nissen from AVS forum, just joining you here.

I'd love to get a hold of the audio tracks in a lossless form.  Taking the DTS LaserDisc and only providing lossy AC3 works, but better results could be achieved with a lossless format like DTS-MA.  

I can encode both the 2 channel PCM and DTS into DTS-HD Master Audio if anyone wants.

I have the French laserdisc so i can give you the French PCM audio track if you are interested!

Cool project by the way :)

I am behind this, looking good

Video for BD version is ready (20mbps); audio tracks are ready; only subtitles should be prepared (sync, and italian correction must be done).

Hope to do everything this night, or at least tomorrow.

The dinosaurs are coming back...

Ok did you compare the UK pal LD with the Italian Pal LD, which one has more picture, which one is cropped, or are they the same?

Italian version is clearer and so I decided to use this (those) for the main part of the JP [ruLes]; cropping is the same for the whole movie, except for the scenes where there are subtitles, when one version has more picture on the left but less on the right and vice versa... I could always try to combine those scene to obtain some more vertical lines of resolution, but I don't think it will change a lot the project, as those scenes account for a total of less than two minutes...

I'm waiting to receive the french laserdisc soundtrack from ilovewaterslides, and meanwhile I'm reconverting video with a lower bitrate to accomodate the french soundtrack into a BD-25.

But before this, the video was ready, so I muxed it with the italian audio, all at 23.976fps, and I watched it... it's really good, better than what I've imagined, with no "plastification" due to the denoise filter... the only bad thing is that some edge halos (present on the original captures) are found on few scenes... I've tried to cancel the halos, but it's impossible without corrupting the whole image, so I decided to leave the video "as is", as the notable halos are visibles on really few scenes.

You could combine the width and height from the different sources and create short clips for those scenes, after you've finished the project. Just as extras. So we could see what the full picture looks like!

It's an idea... maybe when I (if I) will release the "Making of Jurassic Park [ruLes]"... but first I'd like to release "The lost world: Jurassic Park [ruLes]"!

You've lowered the bitrate, but that's going to cost the picture quality won't it?

Is the picture quality deteriorated slightly?

'Cause already laserdisc has low resolution, will reducing the bitrate help.

Consider that 8Mbps is enough for very high quality, if you have 1280x720 video... I think to leave out PCM-to-AC3 soundtracks, and retain only the DTS english and the three PCM soundtracks (english, italian, french). In this case, the bitrate will be around 16/17Mbps, more than enough for very high quality video!

Why don't you keep the track separate, within the package, so that the individual user can mux them. This way video quality won't have to be compromised?

Because not everyone is capable to correctly mux audio/video tracks...

JP [ruLes 1.0] - BD edition - is ready! You could find it on myspleen.

Video bitrate is 16.5Mbps, hope it will be satisfactory for all; the actual BD 1.0 takes about 21GB, as I've left intentionally enough space to include in a future the spanish and the german laserdisc soundtracks (I really, really hope someone will send me the spanish and the german laserdisc soundtrack, to release a complete euro-package of JP!)

I decided to include only the DTS (english) and PCM (english, italian, french) soundtracks, and leave out the AC3 converted files - these ones will be included into the AVCHD, if someone is still interested in it, of course!

Many thanks to ilovewaterslides for the french laserdisc soundtrack!

I've done the literal italian subtitles myself, a really hard task... it took two days, but I'm happy to have done it, because reading the "normal" subtitles don't do justice to the really good italian translation!

Waiting for your feedback, as usual!
