Thank you. I will probably stay with my “latest” derainbowing method, it may not catch everything, but it reduces it at least.
Also: Several members have pointed out little flaws in my versions so far, so I will be reworking the episodes I have already done (check the release topic for updates). Right now those changes include: Reducing the framerate of the episodes from 25 FPS to 23,976 FPS - there are two reasons for that:
- It more closely resembles the original
- It does not require for the english audio track from the NTSC-source to be adjusted (pitch etc.), for that has caused sound glitches/issues (especially noticeable during the intro music)
Since it causes no motion stutter, that improves the workflow.
Furthermore, I added several derainbowing and deringing/dehaloing options to reduce these issues further; I was also careful to adjust with contrasharpening, so no detail gets lost.
As for my work so far: The pilot will be done over the weekend, then the other episodes so far will be updated. Afterwards work on the release will continue as planned.
I would like to mention that I really owe thanks to several members (most notably FrankB & Baobab Archiver), they have picked up those “little problems” and therefore helped make the release better, before it would have went on and by pointing that out saved me long work hours on re-releasing episodes - thank you guys.
