I'd suggest x264 + flac mkv.

Fine :)
I've been trying to forget what I learned about math for the last 15 years.

I've been using SoX for SRC. By many accounts it's the best freeware solution, and second only to iZotope in the non-free category.

I've gone 44100 --> 48048 with SoX. Then using a hex editor, change 48048 to 48000 into the WAV header so it plays at the right speed.

[My reasoning 48048 is an integer, while "44056" is rounded from 44055.9440559...]

Yes that works also :)
You'll get a rounding error with 48048 as well though --
48048 - 0,1% = 47999,952
Both 44056 and 48048 are 'standard' though it seems.

Interesting point, and certainly worth a try. The stretching is certainly done at 0.1% to match 23.976fps but seems to need very fine tuning as it (thus far) hasn't quite seemed to line up properly.

There could be small frame differences from the theatrical compared to the source you're using.

The quality of the rendered stretch in audition is actually very high, I haven't heard any artifacts on my test mixdown, and it preserves exact pitch too, although thats probably a silly thing to be worrying about as it'll only be 0.2 semitones out.

I'm sure it's fine :) -- 'possible artifacts'
However, less processing is usually better & I believe the standard way of dealing with this is simply slowing the audio down.

Thank you CapableMetal for all that info, especially confirming the plugin marks the channels wrong.

However, one point in your methodology I disagree with -- the stretching part. I believe the more elegant solution would be to first change the samplerate to 44056 without resampling (= playing the soundtrack 0.1% slower), and THEN resample to 48000 with your favorite SRC (iZotope probably). The difference might be negligible, but should avoid any possible artifacts resulting from stretching.

Besides that DVDs can't handle 24.000?

Except that's not true.. :)
NTSC DVDs can't do it, but PAL DVDs can -- with 2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:3 pulldown.
I have some commercial DVDs mastered this way.

Question for youse guys:
What fps would/should this proposed SE standard be at?
Would there be a reason for it to be 23.976 and NOT 24fps these days -- especially as the original theatrical audio is available for these?

Maybe try MultiPar.

I don't know why you need to deinterlace for the dvd? For viewing on the computer yes, but on a dvd interlaced is fine? Maybe I don't understand the problem.
If you want to turn the 30i video into something like 24p with blend decimation you can try

tfm(mode=1)
tdecimate(hybrid=1)

Hmm, what framerate are you editing in, 29.97? And what are you outputting to, DVD?
29.97 footage interlaced and progressive hard telecined footage should go fine together in a dvd/vob I believe. 29.97 and soft telecined I'm not sure..?

I don't mind putting the work in, but I feel as though others' interest is waning :-(

I'm still following the thread :)

24 stamps sounds like the stamps from the H. E. Harris & Co. Star Wars stamp album, from ~77-78. Do they look like these?

Albums with stamps seem to go for around 20USD on ebay.

Hairy Hen did/does all his work in 2.1; they were then expanded into 5.1 with a DPL2 compatible plugin. (The original '93 soundtracks were DPL/DPL2 encoded? I forget.)

^^
Yes, what he said :)

Interested parties can PM me for a direct link for this.

Someone already did that with the youtube audio - http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Backstroke-of-the-West-DUB/topic/14329/

Corrupt how? Just downloaded, they extract & seem to play fine for me.

Does it show up in disk management (start -> run -> diskmgmt.msc)?

I always used vcdgear for anything related to vcd, it may be worth a try.

News everyone.
Uproar In Heaven 3D was released in Chinese theaters Jan. 2012.
They call this a 'restoration', but it's not really...

It's the same animated movie, well sorta, but remade somehow, digitally I guess.
Some of the differences:
- Completely new score/soundtrack/dub
- Whole movie has been re-edited, no huge chunks missing this time, but many scenes have small cuts (for time/pacing I guess), the new runtime is about 86 mins @ 25 fps
- Frame has been expanded from 4:3 to around 1:86
- Everything has been recomposited (redrawn??) (assume digitally), most/all backgrounds altered/added to or redrawn
- Several scenes re-animated for 3d

Somehow I'm getting the feeling that this will be the only version available in the future..

Arrghh.. :(

I mean, in some ways it looks good, but it's NOT the 60's movie anymore.. At all...

Couldn't they have done a real restoration also??


@3a899c - Hope you found it by now. If you (or anyone really) can & want to help with translation please PM me! There's still lots of work to be done..

hmm...i just get a "No such file or directory" message

Then you probably have the file path wrong. Double check, remember to put the path between quotes if it contains spaces or simply cd to the actual directory to make it a bit simpler.

 

hmm, ok the quotes seemed to work (thanks), but now i get this:

 

wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,

       missing codepage or helper program, or other error

       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try

       dmesg | tail  or so

 

i'm sorry for hi-jacking the thread with this stuff

 

Does your OS support the UDF 2.50 filesystem? You will probably need that.

Look for c-westwrld-rp for the transport stream.

EDIT: Looks like there could be a German BD of Futureworld soon? http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=7501

EDIT2: Australian BD of Futureworld out today it seems.

There's a Westworld HDTV rip floating around.

Btw, do you happen to know if there's any avisynth filter that can simulate telecine wobble/gate weave?

Hmm, not off the top of my head, maybe it would be possible to do with the vdub deshaker plugin since it has a 2pass mode - run the first pass on sample video with gate weave and second pass on still video? Just a thought.

What procedure were you using that's too hard on your computer? Not possible with some form of delogo in avisynth?

I didn't buy the set myself, but someone in my family did, and I've borrowed them for an indeterminate amount of time.. ;)

One thing about the bonus stuff that really annoys me are the damn borders - thankfully they're not around the deleted scenes and main docus, but they're around EVERYTHING ELSE. Really annoying.

The matte paintings was something I wanted to see actually. They could have done them a little bit better and shown more of them though. I tried to cap all of them (already sent to Harmy) - here are the screens: http://www.sendspace.com/file/rb9k2d
Please check if I got them all, and feel free to repost them in the appropriate threads and put them on image-sites if you want.

I don't have much desire to watch the movies tbh..

ROTS looks very good, except for the weird grain that comes and goes depending on the shot, and the Emperor's new dandruff problem at the end of the movie. None of this appears on the DVD.

I can't be the only person seeing this stuff?

The scene with franken-vader? I didn't notice anything from a quick look. Timecodes?
