THE STAR WARS SAGA - 1080P AVCHD DVD-9 for PS3 & Blu-Ray players - Episodes 1, 4 & 5 available now — Page 29

Adywan, before the '04 DVDs, didn't ANH have a pink tint to it? I don't know if that pink tint for the GOUT was corrected, but I doubt it.

Could somebody who has the GOUT post images of scenes from inside the Death Star in ANH, I know the pink tint was worst during the garbage compator scenes.

To lazy to post post a screenie, but yeah, I'd say there is a bit of a pink tint in parts of ANH. Especially the Tatooine scenes. It's blown to insane proportions in TPM tho.

The screenshots thread has a lot of Death Star scene comparisons but not the trash compactor.

You can also try using eac3to to convert to 23.976.  It will do everything for you.  Just use a format like this:

 

eac3to c:\sourceblurayfolder c:\newfile.mkv -slowdown -640 (for 640k AC3)

 

Then use tsmuxer to create the blu-ray folder from the mkv.

 

Hope this helps.

I tried this today. On the Sony S350 the sound did play from the start and didn't cut out at all but it is now playing too slow. The longer the movie goes on, the more the sound becomes out of sync.

Any ideas?

Aaaaw. Are there any theatrical versions that are actually good quality with the correct color that are available on dvd? Or do you if there is any way to convert this to DVD format?

 Open the file with VirtualDubMod. Use the resize filter to downscale it to a dvd appropriate size. Use a lossless compression to save as an AVI (although if you are cramped for space and time for it to compress I've found that using XVID and putting the quality to the highest setting works fine and any loss in quality is not noticeable) Then use a high quality mpeg2 encoder (like perhaps HC) and encode an mpeg2, then use a dvd authoring utility to make a VIDEO_TS folder of the file then burn with Imgburn.

I'm sorry if I'm rather unclear, I'm terrible at explaining things.

Is there anyway to do this slowdown fix but cut out frames to bring the new sound stream down to the correct length?

It's like the sound has been slowed down so the longer the movie plays, the more out of sync it gets.

When the STAR WARS title appears, the sound is only about 1 second behind, but when the death star explodes you don't hear the explosion until 5 minutes later!

24 -> 25FPS and 25 -> 23.967FPS

Thanks I'll give that a try.

Well, the 24->25FPS then 25->23.976FPS slowdown almost worked. The sound is still running slightly too slow but the delay in the death star explosion is only 8 seconds now.

Maybe converting from 24 to 25 in besweet and then 25 to 24 in eac3to might work?

Oops. I didn't do the 24->24000/1001 conversion to the video stream. I'll try that. Thanks Ady.

That didn't quite work either. Now the sound plays slightly too early. Starts off looking okay but by the time the death star explodes you hear it 8 seconds before you see it!

I'm no expert at video files and frame rates but maybe someone knows what's going on here? My previous attempt where  I didn't convert the video strem from 24 to 23.976 had the sound 8 seconds late LOL!

I'm pretty sure that is exactly what I did but I will go over it again. Thanks.

Well I'll be damned! It pretty much worked :)

Previously I was converting the video from 24 to 23.976 while demuxing the MTS2 file on my DVDR but when leaving the conversion until the final creation of the Blu-Ray disc it works.

The only thing wrong is the subtitles are now playing to fast. I thought that ticking their 'Bind FPS to video file' box would solve this but it doesn't.

Maybe I can find a program out there that converts the FPS of .SUP files from 24 to 23.976?

Many thanks to Adywan. All you Sony S350 owners can now enjoy his fine release :)

I have the Sony S350 and never had any problems to begin with,just burned Ady's file and watched it.

Strange. Myself and other 350 owners had the exact same problem with ANH while ESB played fine.

Ady, was there a second release? Could someone else have fixed it and uploaded it somewhere?

I'm almost done with my set of covers. 

Muchas grande to MoveAlong for the Imandix assistence.

That's a fatastic looking cover there Sluggo...

Very nice work - I'm looking forward to seeing the finished set :¬)
