Here's a small split screen sample so you can see the colour correction and juts how bad the pink tint was in TPM

TPM SD SPLIT SCREEN XVID SAMPLE - approx 15mb- rapidshare

 

 

That looks very nice Ady,can you please tell me how you did that split screen comparison,this could come in very handy for me in my projects.

Thanks

It was done in vegas. I had the uncorrected video on one layer and the corrected video on another so the timeline matched up then applied the "cookie cutter" filter on the corrected layer using the "square" shape, applied a blackborder of 0.01 and then positioned the cookie cutter shape so the picture became split in half.

It is also very easy to do in avisynth, something like

split_org=last

(filters goes here)

split_filter=last

crop(split_org,0,0,320,352)
split_org=last
crop(split_filter,320,0,320,352)
split_filter=last
stackhorizontal(split_org,split_filter)

(For a 640*352 clip)

Well TPM is almost ready. I did a test encode but it came out 100mb too large. Gutted.

Doing the final encode now and hopefully iit should start showing up in a.b.starwars later tonight

George thought colours were symbolic so he tinted all of the films a different colour.

the colour mess of TPM had nothing to do with anything like this. It was just a bad transfer plain and simple. If you watch the featurettes and documentaries on TPM's dvd you can see that there is nothing wrong with the colouring in the clips shown in those, which are from an earlier transfer

The colour in the theater was beautiful. Even my VHS looks good save that it is a vhs LOL. Your comparison is looking just right from how i remembered it.

God, I hope not ... is the awful edge enhancement at least not present in the HD broadcast?  I can live with for the color correction and theatrical cut, but it'd be real nice to be able to watch TPM without it for once.

Unfortunately it is present. One thing i found interesting though was that it isn't present or as present in every shot of the movie. it seems to be really noticeable where there is an special effect present in the shot. shots that don't have an effect element seems to have no or very little edge enhancement. this makes me wonder if this was applied in the computer when they were creating the effects and a slight sharpening filter applied for the DVD/HD transfer. it does seem a bit strange that the only the shots that would have had some processing done in the computer has the really noticeable haloing effect.  hmmmmmm.

and something has begun to appear in a.b.starwars. wonder what it could be? ;)

Yet another quality release from Adywan!  Thanks a lot Ady.  For those of you that don't have AVCHD hardware and want to watch it on a PC please note that the TPM is split into 3 m2ts files.  You'll need to use Tsmuxer to join them.  Open the first m2ts and then use the 'append' option to add the other two in order.  Then select 'm2ts muxing' to create on big m2ts file.  You can then open the new big mt2s file in Tsmuxer, demux it and remux into an mkv if you want to.

Just out of interest Ady, will there be a high bit rate mkv of your colour-corrected TPM?  The ESB high bit rate encode looks magnificent.  Thanks again.

Yeh, the files are split this time around because i have used new software to create the AVCHD which should now make it compatible with more blu-ray players with AVCHD capability and it splits then at 3.99gb automatically . I'm not sure if i'll release a high bitrate of TPM

Very nice covers there sluggo :)
