Is there any way to force an image size within tables? Or better yet, is there a way that I can simply use html?
Markdown is killing me. Is html blocked? I can’t seem to get it to work.
I have the french ld and the Japanese ld. I can do a rip of them both and put them on the spleen. I’m off to the states for a few weeks for Christmas. I’ll try to remember it when i get back though 😉
Any progress on this?
Yes. The french ld is now on the spleen. The japanese version will take me awhile as I’ve just moved and it’ll take me awhile to get the ntsc player up and running for capturing. This is also on usenet. It must be over a year old by now though so I figured the spleen is much easier for most folks.

I think the problem is that whatever you are using to view the file probably parses the file on-the-fly and comes up with different results depending on where you start viewing the file from. Properly indexing the file is the best way to be almost sure you are looking at the right frame without any errors.
Just checked it. I’m seeing movement on the gout and the 35mm.
EDIT: 15496 on reel 3 is gout 75072 if we assume that the first frame of the gout is frame 0. I didn’t see any duplicate frames anywhere in the shot with the hologram commanders.
I went about it a different way where I sync’ed the timecoded file with the gout, stacked them next to each other, then marked down missing gout frames. Then I made a side-by-side encode for visual reference.
This is what I came up with, assuming that the title card on ESB should start on frame 688 according to The Gout Sync Thread set up by chewtobacca. This is how it pops out when you index the dvd with forced film as an option and I think it’s generally accepted as the way to achieve gout sync.
Here it is to the best of my ability:
Missing Gout Frames
0-23
21724-21726
29694 There is a frame missing in this shot somewhere. There is glue on the frame before this one indicating the end of the scene but I couldn’t find the missing frame anywhere in the shot so I put it at the end of the shot.

Damaged Frames
47170 Tape
52751-58190 semi-transparent red splotches
80033-80036 emulsion scratches
105404-105444 semi-transparent red splotches
106771 semi-transparent red splotches
127286-129000 semi-transparent red splotches
170020-170021 semi-transparent red splotches
It occurs to me that I don’t know what an “irreparably damaged” frame is. I did not annotate all of the red splotches or emulsion scratches but these are the ones that stuck out to me. I guess it really boils down to how much motion is in the frame and how much time you want to spend trying to fix it.
EDIT: I indexed the timecoded file with l-smash btw.
EDIT2: @Oohteedee. I believe you have indexed the files incorrectly or something because gout frame 75073 is not a duplicate. For example, if you are using directshowsource while editing it’s like shooting yourself in the foot because it returns the wrong frames or even drops frames sometimes.
This frame is where the three hologram commanders are standing in the hallway in front of vader on the super star destroyer and you can see arm and leg movement on the guys walking down the hallway in the background if you toggle between the previous and following frames on the timecoded 35mm file.
Today is the first day I’ve entertained the thought of purchasing a 4k tv/bd player.
So … I guess nobody plans to upload them to myspleen or anywhere else for all of us non-usenet people?
If you go through the motions and get them pre-approved on the spleen I’ll up the .ts files.
EDIT: I only have 1-6. It would end up being just under 90GB.
Here’s the ones I included with my laserdisc releases for the 97SE. They were ripped from the '04 NTSC discs OCR’ed and time-shifted to match up with CapableMetal’s project which I used as a sync guide for all of my 97SE stuff. I’m not 100 percent sure the OCR is completely correct but maybe they will be of use to you.
EDIT: Links are good for 7 days.
If you are using the software I think you are using then you should do an auto layout as one of the last processes to interleave the seamless branches so that there will not be a judder or pause. You’ve probably done this but if you haven’t it’s pretty essential when doing a dual layer disc and very essential when doing seamless branching to make sure all the stuff gets put physically where it should be on the disc.
Is anyone here capable of this bait and switch method using multiAVCHD? I’m not familiar with how to swap out the video while maintaining the current BD menu structure, chapters and features.
This is exactly what I did when I made the Japanese Special Collection Trilogy BD-25. I made the disc in tmpgenc (mpeg2 only) then followed the directions on the linked page exactly and switched out the streams for the films from mpeg2 to x264 (bd compliant) encodes.

I was skeptical with this method at first but it works. Download the JSC trilogy bd-25 off the spleen and check it out.

I’ve been using lsmash. It seems to work good for just about anything.
I guess I missed this. I’ve not been around much lately and even less on fanres. I donated to the 16mm scan and would be interested in helping here too. I have an upcoming surgery that takes precedence but sometime in May I could probably donate a little bit towards this.
Strangely, I do not own the “faces” trilogy with the exception of esb which came as an extra with one of the laserdisc players I purchased. Is this trailer on any other release? The DC perhaps?
Me too…although I get stuttering sometimes. I think that’s probably an issue with my network rather than Plex or Chromecast, however.
I did too until I turned off secure connections(SSL) in the server settings. Apparently, the chromecast can’t handle the secure connection with hd content. After I turned it off it’s been smooth sailing.
Wait, which settings? Plex or Chromecast?
In the plex server settings.

I’ve been using plex which will transcode it in real-time and send it to the chromecast. In the case of files that are supported but the container isn’t, it will simply remux them in real-time and direct play without transcoding on the local network.
I’d say, apply a global color correction to the new scan (or, if it works, use the shot-by-shot settings you’ve used for the Silverscreen version), make it GOUT-synced and release a Grindhouse version of it. People really love the Grindhouse releases of both Empire and Jedi, so to get something out the door quickly (and hold people over until you finish another fully cleaned up version), this might be worth it.
This. Harmy’s ROTJ Grindhouse is great even with the scratches. Plus, the quality is good enough that people could use that material as the basis for their own project and do their own cleanup if they wanted to.
The rules are…weird. Have a lot of people been lying to you about the kind of video material they actually have lately or something?
I can’t believe Frink hasn’t posted here yet. He must be slipping.
Here’s an attempt I made some years back. It’s a 1 pass clean with avisynth but I think with some more time spent stabilizing and interpolating the remaining bad frames it would look alright.
PW: OT
Thanks! Though it depends on what does after work tonight mean in your timezone 😉
I can start the upload in about 5 hours. 😃
Edit: I did a remote desktop connection and have them uploading now.
They are on the spleen with 8 seeders currently.

That can be done where it only keeps pixels that are close to each other and discards the rest. The functions above are set to 255 threshold but if you turned it down to say 7 or 10 it would only keep things that are very alike. I’ve just not found a scene yet where it seems to really benefit from it.
I’ve noticed the sky hdtv cap has really bad artifacting when there is high motion vs the premiere cap. So far it seems like it’s just better to go with the premiere cap in these situations rather than trying to blend them.
I was going to write a Npassaverage function but it seemed much easier to write a 3 and 5 pass average separately. I don’t think we’ll ever see a need for a 7passaverage and it has to be an odd number greater than 1 so it kind of narrows it down to 3 and 5. The middle clip is the output clip in both functions so pass3 for the 5pa and pass2 for the 3pa.
Function FivePassAverage(clip pass1,clip pass2,clip pass3, clip pass4, clip pass5)
{
interleave=interleave(pass1,pass2,pass3,pass4,pass5)
super=msuper(interleave,pel=2,mt=true)
multivectors=manalyse(super,multi=true,delta=2,mt=true)
multiclip=mcompensate(interleave,super,multivectors,mt=true,tr=2,center=true)
average=temporalsoften(multiclip,2,255,255,50,2).selectevery(25,12)
return(average)
}
Function ThreePassAverage(clip pass1,clip pass2,clip pass3)
{
interleave=interleave(pass1,pass2,pass3)
super=msuper(interleave,pel=2,mt=true)
multivectors=manalyse(super,multi=true,delta=1,mt=true)
multiclip=mcompensate(interleave,super,multivectors,mt=true,tr=1,center=true)
average=temporalsoften(multiclip,1,255,255,50,2).selectevery(9,4)
return(average)
}
I believe the math is right. This should only use the motion compensated frames when temporalsoften compares surrounding frames instead of the actual clip frames. This is set by default to 255 for the luma and chroma threshold so it will hard blend everything.
So far testing of the hdtv caps has not really been beneficial that I can tell. The good news is that, as far as I can tell, the hdtv caps and blu-ray are perfectly registered against one another after doing a quick x/y adjustment. I guess that’s no big surprise since they all came from the same digital master assumedly.
I tried to offer the guy 30 euros but he wants 80 for it. I’m only trying to grab it because… well I’ve never seen it anywhere before.
Worth purchasing?
I’d be greatful.
Thanks for the info. I had looked there but didn’t see them at first. This time I added hdtv to the search and they popped up right away. Like you said, they don’t look too bad.
