Blackout

^It’s not just you.

The wipe appears to have been recreated on the blu-ray:

Williarob, in case there are too many folks for a private message thread, I would like to suggest creating a Discord channel as a backup. It’s functionalities are quite versatile and you can choose to make it invite only.

Second discord as a fall back idea, or maybe even regardless.

I don’t think the Super Mario Brothers have access to them.

Sorry to take this out of the appropriate thread, but how will this affect Adywan’s edit?

@Cameron That’s an outdated version. The most recent version is v1.6 and contains the mono mix. Unfortunately, I’m fresh out of invites, so I can’t help you 😕.

“Looks great” is an understatement. Those are, without a doubt, the best grade I’ve seen yet.

Cameron007 said:

The one that I downloaded doesn’t have the mono track. Can someone help please?

Which one did you download?

If there’s an mkv of 2.7 available, a PM would be much appreciated!

PM’d.

Thanks for the comparison video, you can really see the difference in there.

You’re welcome, though, as I point out, YouTube compression seems to scrub away some of the grain, so the “Non-DNR” half you see could actually be considered as what “careful” DNR might ideally look like.

If that’s what a careful DNR would look like, I think I’d prefer that over no DNR. Judging by the way the conversation has headed here, I don’t seem to be alone in this opinion.

Maybe a little late, but here’s a video showcasing the different look of the DNR and non-DNR versions: https://youtu.be/duseGCZO6C0

Absolutely stunning. Really hoping for a 50GB 1080p release down the line.

I wonder if and how well they could fit the 4k into 50GB using the HEVC encoder.

DrDre said:

Nothing was done to that frame, except for a reduction in saturation. Also, no red boost was performed in any of the frames. I fact they are now reduced. Only the skin tones were altered in the frames with the soldiers, making them less orange and more red. There is some magenta noise in the walls, but this is inherent to the print, and varies from frame to frame.

Thank you for clearing that up.

Williarob said:

For your viewing pleasure:

I think the clip looked better with some more saturation. The faces of the troops running around the corner look a bit yellow, and the older trooper’s face in the closeup might be better if less red.

Keep 'em coming with the videos; I think they’re really helpful, not to mention nice to see in general.

DrDre said:
I ended up lowering the overall saturation slightly, but particulary the oranges, and I added a little more red to the skin tones:

I think I liked that one better before the red boost.

You can evidently see the red in the walls.

Darth Lucas said:

Overall I like those colors. But do the rebel soldiers seem a bit orange to anyone else?

Maybe a little too saturated Reds/Oranges.

Harmy said:

Yeah, I had to put sparks back in in many places too.
What I do is I go through the cleaned scene and the original layered in difference mode, which shows the parts they have in common as black and highlights the differences, so I can see everything that’s been erased and shouldn’t have been.
After this, I’ll need to give it a manual cleaning pass as well, because a lot of the dirt is still there.

Can we look forward to seeing something like this in your despecializing video 😄?

Wow, the video makes this regrade look spectacular.

Cobra Kai said:

Just to put in my two cents. I watched the Technicolor version sample that you posted and found the contrast and saturation levels to be pretty jarring. Watching it just did not feel right to me and I thought 3po was too vibrant and there was too much detail lost in the blacks. Would much prefer one of the compromise versions that you posted earlier

Alderaan seems to have been re-aligned in the blu-ray and carried over into the DeEd:

Highlights in the laser in this shot seem to have been all but totally erased in the blu-ray and carried over into the DeEd, but maybe it’s just a color thing:

detola said:

Those BluRays look Awsome 😮
would Love to get my fingers on them… especialy the Bonus Discs
Are this Files still downloadable without a torrent? If so: could somebody please send me the Links? that would be Great!

Alternative: Is it still possible to get an invite for Myspleen? Maybe I just have to finaly get this Torrent Stuff sorted out 😕

thanks for your Help!

PM’d.

nightstalkerpoet said:

I preferred the previous one.

I would have to agree, but regarding this frame in particular, I think Dre’s previous previous go at it was best: the last batch has a green tint and the newest has a red one.

I do think the first one would be better off with a tad less white, though.

Williarob said:
Empire on the other hand will require considerably more work. Perhaps Poita or somebody has a better print, but I don’t have access to any great scans of Empire at the moment.

A color corrected grindhouse would suffice for awhile.

Those regrades are excellent.

Is this still available? I can’t find it.

You may need to use the beta key as I have to make it work(to use go to help>register in the client’s toolbar):

The dev says the key expires November 2016 so we’d all better make the most of it.

Has anyone else had trouble merging the 00003 & 00004.m2ts files into an MKV? When playing the exported video, there is either some freezing or a very broken transition at the point of merging. The issue seems to arise from the 00003.m2ts file itself, as playing it results in it ending with a brief freeze for me. This is the only file I’ve had and consistently had a problem with.

I’ve used both MKVToolnix and Avidemux with the same result.

Thank you! Very strange the other two did not.
