The Godfather Saga - HD Restoration (Released) — Page 9

For clarification, I believe the suggestion was to upload the captured video file now (50 GB or so) and then upload the synced LD PCM (2 GB maybe?) by itself when it’s done. Of course, if you’re planning a full BD with menus for this release, it would make it more difficult for people downloading to later remux with the PCM.

This is another reason I’d much prefer a straight release of the footage. The effort for discs, menus, extras, etc., is definitely appreciated. But honestly, I’m just going to wind up demuxing the whole thing, combining the parts, and throwing it on an external hard drive anyway. It would just save me a ton of headache to have a single file. And it would be available in days rather than weeks (or maybe months…I’m not sure how much effort goes into something like that). But, as digitalfreaknyc said, it is a hefty upload, and it’s his to upload as I can’t capture the broadcast. I’m begging here, so I’m not going to be a chooser.

And there shouldn’t be any issues. It’s a straight recording. ANd, if this were a typical release, I’d say “let’s do two different releases.” However, this is going to be (probably) around 50 gigs. It’s not something that I feel like uploading twice, nor do I think people are going to download it twice.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think the LD PCM is a priority. The 5.1 track that HBO had sounded good enough to me, and, furthermore, V1 of this release, using the AMC broadcast, also did not feel teh need to include the LD PCM.

I’m not uploading a file. That’s not the way I do things. I already said it’s going to be a full Blu-ray release.
I didn’t include a PCM track for the AMC broadcast because there is no PCM track available for it. That’s the TV version.

The 5.1 track is a remix and certainly not the original mono as was intended. I’m a big sound person (always, over PQ) and I think that people would prefer the original mono.

OK, you just want to make it best you can. +1 😃

Can you tell as approximately how much you will need to sync LD audio?
Did you already have LD audio or volunteer who will send it to you? (Maybe FanFiltration)
Will be more then welcome to just keep us updated.

And keep 5.1 mix on Blu-Ray as alternate audio.

For these who is searching for compressed rip, it must surface soon like previous AMC HD, just little patience.

Yes, please DO NOT get rid of the 5.1 audio whatever you do. Having the mono there as an option is great, but I also love the 5.1 track. And I’ve already offered to send the 1901-1980 laserdisc box for postage only.

That is wayyyyyyyy lower quality than mine will be, that’s for sure. Is there a 1080i version?

Yes, I know, and it’s for these who can’t wait for your BD.
Maybe better rip will surface… but for me it’s useful for re-sync subtitles in my language.

Does it have subtitles?

No, I need to re-cut retail subtitles in my language from DVD/Blu-Ray.

Wow. That’s going to be insane, considering there is no retail for this version.

It will take some time, just need to follow movies, cut piece by piece out and sync them.

Who say there is no retail subs… check it out…
English Subs from extras DVD/BluRay cover 46 min of additional scenes, not included GF 3. So there will left few minutes to transcript to complete subs, I mean for full English subtitles.

There’s a new 14.5GB 720p HDTV recording from the scene group BATV out now. They claim 1080p is coming soon, and they’re just making sure they’re using the best source/recording possible. Anyone with an IPT account can corroborate this with a simple search 😃

I have no idea what IPT is.
If that’s the case, then I’m not going to rip mine just yet. I’ll wait and download.

Available everywhere 😃

I grabbed the 9.5GB 720p version and that’ll do me just fine until the 1080 version hits. I’ll be all over that, I don’t care how huge the file is. I definitely want this thing saved in the best possible quality. If the 1080 is being worked on, that’s good enough for me! Thanks so much for capturing this and for making it available to us fans. Your hard work is greatly appreciated.

Despite my last post, I caved and grabbed the 14.5GB version. It’s definitely worth seeking out over the 9.5GB version. Not only is detail a lot better, but the colors are more natural as well.

Haven’t seen one surface just yet. For now, the 14.5GB 720p version looks very good (see my last post).

Does anyone know if there is a 1080p version available yet?

There won’t be a 1080p because there is no 1080p. 1080i is the broadcast.

Isn’t there any 1080i capture file in circulation yet?

Not from what I’ve heard. Does anyone know?

I don’t live in the US so please forgive my ignorance. Does HBO broadcast in 720p and 1080i?

1080i

Hey DFNYC, have you made a BD50 version of this yet? I do already have your 2xBD25 but I figured on getting myself a spindle of Optical Quantum BD50s with logo top.
In fact, I’m not sure if there’s very many fan preservations or fan edits which are on BD50s.
