I concur! Monster Squad was beyond belief!
DJ: what problems are you having with the h.264 codec?
What’s the internal temperature of a TaunTaun? Luke warm.

thank you, DJ...And if that conversion is any indication, we are indeed in for a treat!
BTW, any intention of re-adding or re-incorporating the missing shots? I'm guessing they could be taken from an LD source, matted to match, then sandwiched in? (Hmmm... something's telling me that might get a bit grainy...
Well anyway, TIA to DJ and his secret helper!

Wait...those shots were cut out?! Can anyone confirm this?

I was assuming that the source we're talking about here is the PAL HD sat ("Sky") broadcast mentioned a few pages ago...
D'Led an XviD of a SD capture of that broadcast a few weeks ago and it is indeed the edited UK version.
No biggie, really.

I cant convert this damn h264 file into something that avisynth and cce can work with properly,it is entirely different than the normal .ts HD files,so if you have any ideas,fire away.
someone mentioned to use ConverXtoDVD,well for shits and giggles I tried it on a sample clip,the video actually didnt look to bad,but the sound was way out of whack,but i would prefer to use the avisynth method I used on ALL my other HD2DVD projects,because I like the better control you have,plus I want to do a NTSC and PAL version.
so like I said,if any one has any ideas,let them fly,because I am not going to spend months on trying to figure this out,I came close to deleting everything a couple of times already LOL

as long as you have x264 playback (coreAVC perhaps) this will pipe it into CCE just fine
Rip the ac3 with projectx but make sure you have it replace frames or blank because of the stream error at around 5 minutes in. if not it will knock out your ac3 timing. when its demuxed you will find that you will have to resync the audio by around -3000ms to -4000ms (i forget what now exactly)
NTSC
Change resize and pipe in to CCE at 25fps and use CCE's 23.97 framerate. be sure to turn off pulldown because CCE tries to IVTC (you dont want to do this) or I guess you could try and use assumefps(23.976) in avisynth instead. then run pulldown.exe on the file
pitch PAL audio (the one you resynced) to NTSC and resync

Drag howard.the.duck.1920x1080p.dd2.0.ts into the filename bit then click on the file it will display 2 PIDs in the Preview screen
0x201(H.264)
0x295(AC-3)
This just shows that it has identified the streams even if it can't play them
Click on the prepare button, goto Presettings/audio tick fill gaps with previous frame (your preference), go to output and have only AC3/DTS Audio ticked in 'stream types to process' then close presettings. make sure in Action - demux is ticked and process it. it will take a while.
Alternatively you could use CCE to dump the ac3 as a WAV or mp2....

but to answer your questions,
Audio sync
I use Media Player Classic because by using the + & - keys on your number pad you can resync audio - it just takes a while. I then use dvdlab pro to render a new ac3 without the delay using the audio delay tool. you could also use a tool called delaycut.exe - that does the same thing
alternatively you could use something like hypercube or besweet to dump the ac3 to wav (its only 2ch audio so that helps alot) but you could lose about 3db of volume with besweet and use something like vegas video* to normalise & sync it all up visually, then use besweet or vegas ac3 encoder or dvdlabpro with tmpgenc plugin to convert back to ac3..
*vegas video doesn't like Mpeg2 elementary video streams, use TMPGENC tools to mux video + no audio to get an mpg that vegas will open.
NTSC
In the PAL version I used convertfps=true - you dont actually need this really because the source is PAL ( I cant remember why I used it now - must have been a reason) take it out for NTSC (convertfps does frame blending rather than slowing down frame timings)
The Fps=25 tells directshow the framerate of the source - it needs to know this to playback correctly. Changing it to fps=23.976 doesn't 'break' anything but I prefer to leave it at 25 and use CCE to do the 23.97 itself because its doing the job anyway even when you use avisynth to do it... so..
directshowsource("D:\Home Projects\HTD\howard.the.duck.1920x1080p.dd2.0.ts", fps=25)
Crop(0,0,0,-8)
lanczos4resize(720,480)
ConverttoYUY2
Using CCE to change framerate
or
directshowsource("D:\Home Projects\HTD\howard.the.duck.1920x1080p.dd2.0.ts", fps=23.976)
Crop(0,0,0,-8)
lanczos4resize(720,480)
ConverttoYUY2
CCE receives correct frame rate but does it itself anyway
or even
directshowsource("D:\Home Projects\HTD\howard.the.duck.1920x1080p.dd2.0.ts", fps=25)
Crop(0,0,0,-8)
Assumefps(23.976)
lanczos4resize(720,480)
ConverttoYUY2
CCE receives correct frame rate but does it itself anyway
NTSC Audio
convert the audio (usually if your ac3 is 5.1 but 2.0 is ok too) with besweet - the belight frontend seems quite good - theres a setting to do 25000 to 23976 you do loose about 3db of volume doing this but its not that noticable by most people
or you could pitch the audio in vegas..
You should have enough to go on now, also, doom9 is your friend - as is the avisynth documentation

I dont think I can post links in the open,so just PM me and I will give you the links,the files are roughly 215 meg VOB samples.
thanks to CW for all his help

UPDATE - The NTSC version is upped now too,so I can give you either links or both,I would like both checked,thanks.
(BOTH files are 16:9 Anamorphic Widescreen and in DD 2.0)

Looking good. I'm looking to do something with HowardHD myself, and I was wondering if you had done anything about the amount of dirt which appears on the print?

Perhaps someone could add windowboxed versions of the shots from a VHS? It would suck, but the film should be "complete". If not, adding them in as an "extra" the same way would be nice.So, as far as I can understand from the thread, there are two brief cuts. Are they going to be included at all? Maybe as a minor extra?
Also, what else is definitely going to be on this release?

I have another question though,does anyone have from either laserdisc or something of where the chapter stops should be on this,or should I just guess?
also if anyone has some nice wallpapers or anything that would be good for the dvd-rom folder,please let me know,I would like to add some cool goodies.
Plus I think I am ready to start doing the DVD's now,I have deleted ALL test clips and samples,and have finalised my avi scripts,so stay tuned for anyone that is interested.

WOW! I haven't even managed to get the sample (I am having some minor problems with rapidshare)... but that is great news! Do you still want my opinion of the clip when I'm done downloading?
Thanks for doing this DJ!
