Which means these alterations so far...

* Pan American Clipper Matte Painting: DVD / BBC HD / WOWOW / Canal + HD

* Flight to Nepal: DVD (??? BBC HD / Canal + HD ???)

* Cliff Matte: BBC HD

* Lamppost Matte: BD

(For now) assuming color, reframing, burned-in subtitles, and audio changes are not important, then does that mean that the only altered shot in the WOWOW is the clipper one?

team_negative1 said:

Yes, we kept the ratio the same, should it be altered?

Nope. It really is ~2.7:1 and that's a damn shame. I was just making sure.

1 Cropped and resized to correct 1080p

Did you keep the AR at ~2.7:1?

Myspleen?

 I've never managed to get an invite. One day I'll get this.

I can hook you up when I get home tonight. You're not going to hit-and-run, right?

DoomBot said:

It does work extremely well.

Agreed. It works particularly well if you have a DNR'd-to-hell source that still has macroblocking.

I'm working with Andrea to get FanRes.com SSL-enabled.

We plan on moving AMPS to an invite-only subforum there once that's done. AMPSdeux with remain for Team-1 updates.

I'm working on bringing some new moderators into the "inner circle"; people who can move AMPS in the right direction.

Expect some exciting things soon!

Avisynth: Overlay the grain plate with softlight and adjust the opacity to taste.

msycamore: Thanks for this! Please keep it coming!

Do you think it would be possible for us to come up with a comprehensive list of changes?

I can pull the unaltered shots from the BD, do a match grade and a match grain, and then plug them right into my WOWOW Avisynth script.

Hopefull that scan will be able to reveal the issues you're having with your internal organs.

Me too.

PDB said:

AntcuFaalb, have you considered including the laserdisc track also?

Yes, but I haven't done a bit perfect rip of it yet and my audio editing skills are insufficient, so I wouldn't be able to sync it to the R1 DVD.

It's great to be able to watch this in it's entirety.  Thanks for sharing!  

I've noticed there are duplicate frames?  Also, Reel 1 is missing some footage at the end.

EDIT: so far it seems like reel1 is the only one with duplicate frames.  I still have to check 3 and 4 though.

I just posted this same thing on the Spleen.  Glancing at all of the reels in VirtualDub, Reel 1 seems to be the only one that is affected.

Ah, that's a shame. If those frames aren't there, then I don't have them.

A new scan is coming, FWIW.

team_negative1 said:

Are the other reels being put up? We only see 2 so far.

All are up. There are two torrents with the second one having the remaining three.

  1. Reel 1

  2. Reels 2-4

I've aligned the ~20GiB WOWOW 1080i capture to the R1 DVD (I prefer its 5.1 AC-3 audio to what's on the BD).

This took some work because two frames were dropped which caused a cadence break and prevented "Force Film" from working in DGIndex, so I had to manually IVTC it even though the stream used soft pulldown (ugh!).

After padding the beginning and end with appropriate amounts of black frames, I used my shot-change-detection+diff method to verify that the two are synchronized. They are. I then used IsCombedTIVTC() to verify that no combed frames were leftover from my manual IVTC. None were.

So... yay!

I now face the challenge of removing the few instances of burned-in JP subtitles. Does anyone have a list of which shots have them? If not, then I'll watch it once through and take notes. Thanks!

:o(

My spleen is absolutely killing me. I guess I'll have to do two, three, or even four crunches! Ouch!

The SuperResolution algorithm used in FURNACE is fantastic. You might want to take a look at that if you haven't already.

The GOUT comes with lots of baked-in aliasing which is surprisingly very good for temporal upscaling algorithms like this.

What's the best source for the most popular set of commercials (Frizzies@11, etc.)? Thanks!

althor1138 said:

Looks great!  Do you think that a new scan will make things better?

Significantly, yes.

I am in a ton of pain. My spleen hurts like crazy.

Why does the thread need any action, if there's nothing new to discuss concerning its topic?

 I keep hoping for a Special Edition of this thread with all off topic posts removed.

The SE of this thread will be released on 15 Feb 2028 and will contain a few more off-topic posts as well as the following CGI added to all of them.

On 15 Feb 2039 Adywan will release his own SE of the SE of this thread which will remove some off-topic posts, clarify/reinterpret others, and change the CGI to the following.

Everyone: Please accept my sincere apology for this post. I love you all.

I access this forum mostly through subscriptions too and then I only check the rest of the forum from time to time, but I'm subscribed to like 100 threads :-)

Yep, same here.

Harmy said:

Why does the thread need any action, if there's nothing new to discuss concerning its topic?

I think that all of the off-topic discussion in this thread is caused by:

1. Hope that "keeping the thread alive" will keep updates coming from Adywan and/or motivate Adywan to keep going full-speed-ahead.

2. The fact that many users access this forum indirectly via e-mail subscriptions. I can imagine that being subscribed to only one thread would give one a very narrow view of the forum.

Disclaimer: This is just speculation. I neither endorse (1) nor exclusively engage in (2).

Thanks, hope to see it up soon. Just checking back.

Team Negative1

Hey, sorry. I'm working overtime currently to meet a project deadline.

I have off on Friday, so I imagine I'll get it out by then.

team_negative1 said:

Release the raw. We can do our own correction.

 

Thanks.

 

Team Negative1

Got it. I'll throw R1 up on MySpleen tonight and then get working on R2.

I have R1(raw) rendered out. The H.264 encoder in [an-excellent-program]* only allows a max bitrate of 32767 Kbps (2^15-1), but it looks pretty good on my monitor and weighs-in at ~8GiB. There are four reels in total; five if you consider that there's an alternate scan of R4.

I can release it as-is, but the colors are off and it's uncropped. Poita, et al. tried to calibrate to the Kodak LAD card, but that screws things up even further, so we're trying to work out something now that can get us really close to what's actually represented on the film. Thankfully, he has the film to compare the scan to, so the color work is in good hands.

The big question now is: Should I just release it raw or should I wait for color correction to come down the pipeline?

The HDD->HDD clone is and always will be an option, of course.
