So the upload is the raw capture of the XØ? Something like 40gb?
Are these cleaned up at all, or completely raw?
What will be done with them (if anything)?
This is the raw capture, yes. It's the exact same set of files Laserman sent the rest of us after the capture was done. I would assume he IVTC'd them himself before sending to save on disk space, as the frame rate is already 23.976.
If someone wanted to prep this for outputting to DVD or Blu-ray or whatever, I would recommend a quick and dirty avisynth script with at least the following:
- Combine the 8 files into one
- Crop and resize to 16x9
- Adjust video levels (set black and white points)
- Upscale and sharpen
At this time, I have no plans to do anything other than release the raw captures to Usenet. If you want them uploaded somewhere else, burned to blu-ray, or converted to your favorite video flavor, you're better off asking someone else.
