I transferred Video2000 tapes (from 1983) to dvd. The tapes were in very good condition and played very well. I found a broken Video2000 tape in our old garage, the casing was broken and the tape itself must have laid in the mud for more then 10 years, freezing in winter (-15) hot in summer (+40). I removed the tape from another casing to put the muddy tape from the garage in. It still played pretty well. When using old tapes you should wind them back and forth before playing because the tape may be a bit sticky.

What dvds are you going to use, dual layer or single layer? Are you going for ultimate quality, I mean one soundtrack and a video bitrate as high as possible?

Not a single frame was dropped. How about compressing the video and leaving the audio as is? Then it's more easy to compare.

I captured all three movies of the Definitive Collection with the digital PCM tracks. I would be happy to give you the audio for Empire and Jedi if you want it (also the audio from ANH if you want). I presume you're also going to tranfer them too. If you want a sample first to check if the quality is better that's ok.

Are you working on all 3 movies at the same time or are you first finishing ANH before you start with Empire or Jedi?

Hi Moth3r, can you give us a list of the specifications of the final version of ANH? Somewhere in this thread I read you used audio from a VHS tape? Is this in the final version? Did you manage to insert the wipes?

the MSU Denoiser crashes on images wider than 1280 pixels.

BTW, I messaged you about Leia's 7 seconds welding clip, did you get it? the default users setting might be not to receive messages.

So that's why it crashed haha, I wondered about that.

I got a PM about the rar files. Then I send you 2 PMs, one about my ftp, the other about www.youshareit.com
My email is arnie.d@tiscali.nl maybe that works better.

You're 100% right! But when I made the title I didn't know the other questions that would rise. Maybe I'll make a new thread "Pulldown".

But the actual comments of whether or not someting belong in the thread "Best way to crop and resize" has also nothing to do with the actual crop and resize

How I use it is to crop the 4:3 source so I just end up with the letterbox image, 2x resize with the edgeresample filter, rescale it again but with Lanczos3 to 1280x545 to get 1:1 aspect ratio image, apply a sharpen filter and then finally Lanczos3 resize & add black borders to get an anamorphic PAL image.

When your source is interlaced do you select "Interlaced (not recommended for enlarging)" in the resize settings?

Why is 1280x545 a 1:1 aspect ratio? Why do you want a 1:1 aspect ratio? It seems logical to me sharpening after the 2x resize with edgeresampler keeps quality better then resizing an extra time. So can you explain that?

It has a lot to do with crop and resize. When you don't remove the pulldown first the image quality is bad when you crop and resize.

Just to be sure, when I apply pulldown to a 23.976 movie the number of frames stays excactly the same? Only a tiny bit of information (flags) is/are added so the dvdplayer knows what frames to play double?

So in the command prompt you type: pulldown "*.mpv" right? It says it uses 2:3 pulldown
(where * means the file you want to pulldown)

OK but in the future what settings should I choose in cce when my source is 23.976 fps avi.

framerate 23.976 or 29.97? 29.97 I presume...

pulldown 2:3 or 3:2?

should I also select inv. 3:2 pulldown (when the source is non pulldown / 23.976 fps)?

OK I've done a decent IVTC and resize. Now I encoded the avi at 23.976 fps. When I want to import the mpv into dvd-lab the program says it can't use 24 fps movie so it want to pulldown. So I went to all this trouble only to find out my IVTC avi has to be pulled down again for encoding??? Oh man. Well if I didn't I could not have resized properly.

So now I want to encode the avi again. Should I choose 2:3 or 3:2 pulldown? What's the difference? Quality difference?

You wouldn't have the wipes, would you?

Wipes as in scene change? No.

Maybe you can cut out the 7 seconds (+ some overlap maybe) with virtualdub. Maybe you can sent it to my ftp? Do you have windows commander or total commander (normally my ftp is not reachable with IE)? I would really appreciate it if you could sent me the footage. I hope it's not too much trouble. I'll PM you my ftp information if your willing and able to sent the footage to me. By the way, how's your ld to dvd transfer going?

If you want to do it yourself I think it's pretty easy to do with dvd-lab pro. You rip the movie and the deleted scenes to your hdd. Then in dvd-lab pro you chop them up in chapters. Then you can make a chapter play list. In other words you can make the chapters play in any order you want. You can put both versions of the movie on 1 disc so you can select in the menu which one to play the original version or the extended version.

Hi. Does anyone have the Leia welding footage available (as a raw capture)? I’d like to insert it into my own ld transfer but I have the 1993 definitive collection without Leia welding.

When performing the IVTC can I use the resize filters and other filters in one go or should I first IVTC and then use the filters on the new file?

I like to encode with cinema craft encoder. But can it treat multiple avis as one, creating one mpv? I can't find this option
