So it's the teenager who has a modicum of class here?

Who?

That's hardly LOL material. HotRod has the humour of a two year old. I can't believe there are adults who find that kind of thing even remotely funny. I think I matured past that point by the time I was seven.

Some people hit a certain point of being mature enough (and confident enough in their own maturity) that limited excursions into the land of immaturity can be made with little-to-no consequence.

Anecdote: My grandmother-in-law is quite mature and often stern, but can relax into some good toilet humor every now and then.

I'm not saying that this applies to HotRod, but I am saying labeling all crude-humor-lovin' adults as immature is just... well... lazy. You need to evaluate people on an individual basis before you can make your determination and pass judgement.

Poopdick. Poopdick. Poopdick.

At least consider a high bitrate? Too many mono mixes are regulated to 192kps Dolby Digital, even on Blu Ray.

I was thinking of using 224Kbps. Too low?

Here's the first part of HotRod's post: "For the first time in years of me trying, the missus let me fuck...".

My question for anyone bothered by this is: If you're particularly sensitive to such things, then why did your eyes continue scrolling to the right past the word "fuck"?

I would understand the outrage better if HotRod posted an image of his exploit(s). There's not much one can do to avoid seeing an image in its entirety on an average-sized monitor with a typical DPI and resolution (the absurdly-long image Frink, et al. like to post excluded, of course), but one can surely stop reading.

FWIW: I agree that HotRod should have posted this elsewhere or not at all. NSFW threads exist with good reason.

Yeah, when Frink thinks something is off topic you KNOW you're in it bad.

Aren't you one of the guys who was happy to talk in great detail about using moist wipes instead of toilet paper?

Nope, that was me.

I shit you not.

 ALLOL

Actually, it was impscum I was thinking of.

Go watch The Adventures of Robin Hood and then tell me that older films had less color.

Or any 3-strip technicolor film for that matter.

Is the audio digital or analogue?

Digital

Cool! (hopefully some raw/processed compared caps?)

The raw will go on Usenet (a.b.sw) and the median-of-three'd DVD will go on MySpleen and Usenet.

The DVD will be the LD. By this I mean: every frame on the LD will be preserved down to the last one before the A->B side-change and the last one at the end of side B. There will be no menu, but the chapters from the LD will be ported over. The only audio option will be the English 1.0 PCM track from the LD. I'm still on-the-fence as to whether or not to AC3ify it or to just include it raw.

I'd like to include subs and/or CC despite not being present on the LD. This is low priority at the moment.

JEDIT: Whoops, I missed the word "caps"! Silly me. Those are coming soon as well.

Disgusted with Lucasfilm in general. He's been essentially "banned from the ranch" for a couple years now. He's not allowed to appear at celebration.

Interesting. Why?

Someone should try to contact James Earl Jones.  How righteous would that be?

 I wonder if David Prowse is sufficiently disgusted that he might want to do it?

Disgusted with the SE?

Say about twenty guns; some on the surface, some on the towers.

Will your work be applicable to other problematic Laserdiscs, or is this geared toward the unique issues of THX?

The analysis work is applicable to any multi-capture LD project. It's really just a few Avisynth functions I wrote way-back-when to check for temporal alignment.

Stretching the luma levels before dropping to 8-bit, on the other hand, is just necessary for my setup. I capture "flat" and correct in post.

I'm getting ready to generate a new 8-bit file to work with from the 10-bit master.

I needed to stretch the luma levels from [64, 888] to [64, 940] before moving on.

I did a ton of analysis on the previous 8-bit work file, so unless there's a glitch in the matrix, I should be ready for a release sometime soon.

Thanks for the Aleks.J's hardware-upgrade info! He went M.I.A. on the 2 forums after some posts and we never found out about the final result of the upgrade. Too bad about The Law Of Diminishing Returns. I hate that law.

BTW, somewhere in that thread (or one of it's references) was mention that the 3D motion adaptive comb filter (as hardware implemented) is practically ineffective. It only works on static images (to make use of temporal filtering, from images before & after) and switches back to 2D filtering when movement is detected. Aside from the theoretical proof offered by test patterns, the picture is almost always moving in the real world and therefore is almost always being 2D filtered. (I hate The Real World law, too.) Hopefully, AntcuFaalb's usage of "pixel motion estimation" will allow the use of the 3D filter all the time. (I like temporal filtering.)

This "movement or no movement" decision isn't made on a per-frame basis. It's not like some frames are 2D and others are 3D*.

These decisions are usually made at the block or pixel level. Think of a ship moving across a static background. You can, in this case, recover the static background via temporal (3D) comb filtering and use other techniques (2D, etc.) for the ship. Most 3D comb filter designs work this way.

* This is certainly possible, but it's generally not a good idea. Frames with tons of movement are mostly 2D comb filtered, but this a heuristic decision rather than a design one. It's also worth mentioning that the old pre-upgrade Bifrost 3D comb filter for Avisynth made per-frame decisions. O_O

I LOVE Lapti Nek. I preserved two excellent articles about it here: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/The-Surprisingly-Strange-Story-of-Lapti-Nek/topic/14770

Leaving for Dragon Con tomorrow. Planning on being there all day Sunday, and Sunday night is the Parsec Awards for scifi podcasts. My TOS podcast is a finalist for "Best New Speculative Fiction Podcaster/Team", so wish me luck!

Good luck!

Oh sorry then. I thought it was you.

I created a new account, btw as I got no answers from the staff as how to change my username.

ASAP: PM Jay or Anchorhead or Moth3r or SilverWook before you get banned for having multiple accounts.

I think I'll need a woman to do the narration for me, so it's like super-clear, that it's not me talking.

TV's Frink is an 87-year-old man, so you might want to consider him if you can't find a woman to do the narration. ;-)

The xviscript for DTS audio LD correction on sendspace is no longer available.

Did someone save this file and can make it available for upload again?

Thanks!

Oh, no! schorman13: Please reupload it!!! :-)
