Info: Back to the Future - without DNR & EE — Page 21

I was having the same problems you guys are having until I downloaded the latest version of tsmuxer.  Check to see what version you have.  You won't need eac3to or anything else if you get the latest version here:

Once the files are demuxed with eac3to then mux them together with tsMuxer.  Not that i ever burn files to a BD to play in a BD player.

tsMuxer did not like the PCM file ...... figures.  I'm going to try the updated version see what happens then.

You have to demux it as a .wav file not .pcm then tsmuxer will except it.

That was the missing piece of the puzzle, thanks Kev.

Yo guys!

Look what I found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlPTtdj49Wo

I want a digital copy of that thing!

If anybody here speaks Russian, maybe this dude could cap the movie and share it...

The package itself would be nice to put on the shelf, but why on earth would you want a digital copy of the movie?

"But all are at best only slightly better than DVD. Despite the 1035i resolution MUSE is displayed in, it loses a lot of resolution when horizontal motion is on the screen. During mostly static shots it looks extremely good. But it can't hold a candle to Blu-Ray by any stretch of the imagination."

And I believe we've even seen this master already broadcasted and captured into mkv format...

 analog HD, it's so beautiful!

Someone on LDDB was starting a project to rip them:

It will look better than a dvd, that's just hyperbolic.

Would love to see how good/bad these HI-Vision LD look for real.

Some anonymous person captured a couple of the shot-on-HD-video MUSE discs. At least one of them can still be found online. Not sure if the image hotlinks will work, but:

Note all the edge ghosting.

Reportedly, most of these discs looked better than the film transfers.

Hi, is there a vine for the DCP? Please PM me.   ;-)

Also, are the multiple DCPs of BTTF? Someone earlier in the thread mentioned a UK DCP.

Thanks.

 The quality really varied from disc to disc wildly.

Hi, I have been searching for a copy of the DCP for awhile but I cannot find it, could someone PM me the filename or a website where I could find it?

the first time the time machine travels i like the color correction a lot but i'm tossed on the other one which one of these back to the future shots is better?

using the dcp would someone be willing to do a color correction as well as fixing the dirt and scratches as well if  no one is willing to do dirt and scratches fix i understand.

 I really like the first one!  Maybe it's just my imagination, but it's almost as if the color correction brought out the grain detail.  Or did you apply a layer of fine grain to the correction as well?

The first color corrected screencap with the flames really looks bad - too much contrast, burnt out, oversaturated.

The second (Marty's close-up) is just too bright. On that particular frame it's not really a problem, but applying that to the whole film... it would probably be wrong. Brightening up too much is a common problem in home-made remasterings.

Honestly, I don't see the problem with the DCP's colors. I'm not saying I couldn't imagine even hotter colors for the movie, but they look good and consistent.

Pretty much agree with zee944 about the two screenshot comparisons, the original screencaps looks better in both IMHO for pretty much the reasons he stated.

In terms of the DCP's colours though, I don't agree that the colours are fine, I personally find everything too red. The colours of the DVD release are much better IMHO so one of my next releases will be the DCP transfer regraded to closely match the colours and fleshtones of the DVD release of Back to the Future.

Is there a comparison somewhere between the DCP and DVD version? I never really compared them myself, but looking at them independently they both looked fine to me.

The DCP could use a bit more warmth and vividness. It would fit the movie. Perhaps. But it's really icing on the cake...

 I might just be imagining it, but the color-corrected DCP seems to have brought out some compression artifacts, mostly in the left half of the frame.
