I'm glad to hear your on your way to completing them all.

It must take along time to re-encode a blu-ray movie close to 20 hours maybe? Not sure what software you use is it Adobe Premiere or Vegas Pro?

 

Well i'm still looking forward to this massive release of movies Omen. More so the original trilogy and Lord of the Rings.

Depends really but when i'm doing only colour regrading with the settings set at highest quality with the program I use, a normal length film of say 2 hours takes around 16 hours for my computer to reencode. That gives me pretty much identical image quality to the blu-ray, at least as far as my eyes pixel-peeping on a 30 inch monitor can tell.

That said, encoding the Phantom Menace required a lot more time than that but I don't want to scare you guys haha

As for what program I use, it's my little secret (mostly because I don't want Dark Jedi, Harmy and other editors here taking the piss) but its neither of those two you mentioned, I tried changing to Vegas Pro recently and it seemed way too complicated for me. I haven't tried Adobe Premiere but I'm guessing its also very complicated with a steep learning curve. I know these two are meant to be the benchmarks in colour grading/editing/effects but I'm very satisfied with the quality i'm able to get with what I use. I'm a simple guy so I like to keep things simple. :)
