Here is the progress so far on the DYRL restoration:

Video:

1. BD DYRL main movie, Theatrical beginning and end credits are now lagarith avi.

2. I must have missed a step when using the ADM MPEG guide on the remastered DYRL DVD because the final converted movie length is too long. So, I'll try that again. Then I will double check that the snapshots on the DVD match up to the BD DYRL avi.

There is a definite mismatch of DVD video with BD video even though both videos are 23.97 fps. I did a quick counting of frames for the two censored scenes on Sony Vegas.

BD Meltrandi Stomp 252 frames

BD Decapitation 49 frames

3. A complete set of time-coded, 1080p snapshots of both censored scenes from the remastered DYRL DVD have been taken through Womble. That was a little tedious. It looks like I will have to take a new set of snapshots once I get the remastered DYRL DVD working properly according to the ADM guide.

Meltrandi Stomp 314 snapshots

Decapitation 59 snapshots

4. Also, once I get the remastered DYRL MPEG working properly, then I can use Video Enhancer to up-convert the 480p video to 1080p video. Then the up-converted video can be compared to the Womble 1080p snapshots to see which best works as replacement scenes.

5. The colour-correction forum thread on Fanedit.org looks good for advice.

Audio:

The BD DYRL has 5.1 DTS audio file with missing and edited audio cues and also a PCM stereo .wav!

Medianinfo software reveals that the DYRL PCM wav contains:

Bit rate mode :	Constant
Bit rate :	1 536 Kbps
Channel(s) :	2 channels
Channel positions :	Front: L R
Sampling rate :	48.0 KHz
Bit depth :	16 bits
Stream size :	1.23 GiB (100%)

I'll listen to this audio file and compare it to the theatrical DYRL Region 2 DVD audio to hear if the audio is the same. Hopefully, this PCM wav file is not the same as the poorly done remastered DYRL stereo audio file that had a lot of audio click noises.

I won't have time to work out a process to extract the DYRL LD audio for this week and the next because this is the last day of my holidays.

That's it for now.
