Just be patient, he’s a busy guy. Maybe again in about a week if you still haven’t heard back.
You shouldn’t be downloading anything, you should be ripping your legally purchased discs yourself per community rules.
MakeMKV is pretty widely used for Blu-Ray ripping IIRC, and I believe it’s free. External USB Blu-Ray drives aren’t too pricey if you don’t already have a drive that can read a BR disc to rip.
If all you have is DVDs, that can work, but usually working with BR sources is easier since you don’t have to worry about framerate conversations/deinterlacing (except maybe for some of the deleted scenes).
I think teasing Palpatine in TLJ like this, then ending the crawl for TROS with something like “Supreme Leader Kylo Ren searches the Unknown Regions of the galaxy for the mysterious dark power behind Snoke, his former master” with no mention of Palpatine until Ren finds him on Exegol.
Babu freeek? He’s one of my oldest friends! 😉
Welcome!
FYI, I would again recommend contacting Schorman to see if he has a patched version of the Cinema DTS that he can provide you (he’s done so for TPM and ROTS, but I don’t know if he ever did AOTC since until now the only thing to sync it to was the Centropy bootleg).
I actually favor removing the TIE explosion as well, but I agree that it’s nitpicky. But I don’t understand the other two either.
What DZ said, plus I don’t think we have clean audio of the Fortnite “broadcast” anyway, right?
If someone has a template or more precise measurements (preferably in metric) for those cases, I could try and whip something up for ya.
I like it a lot, but I think it’s a little overlong in its current state. I kind of like just using “Find me” and leaving it at that, but I think you need a little more than that. Just gotta find a balance with it.
Yes. Which is bad. Sometimes even streaming platforms show a cropped version (Simpsons on Disney+ is one example where they cut off the top and bottom so there aren’t any bars on the sides, which ruins many visual jokes throughout the series.)
If you want to zoom in on the picture so you get rid of the black bars, that’s your business, but be aware that the image was composed by the director and cinematographer in a specific way and when you zoom/crop, you aren’t watching it the way it was designed to be watched.
Another example is old VHS tapes that were cropped to 1.33:1 for old “fullscreens” SD TVs - in Star Wars, when Luke is looking for sand people through his binoculars, on the VHS tape I watched growing up, when he says “Wait a second, I can see one of them now,” I never understood what the hell he was talking about. Because the sand person who enters frame on the right is cut out of the picture entirely on the old 1.33:1 tape - in the full widescreen frame, you can see him plain as day.
They have corrected the color very nicely in the film.
I do hope you’re joking
If he’s talking about the new Disney+ masters that will be the basis for the upcoming box set, then I think he’s right. They aren’t perfect, but they’re light-years better than the 2004/2011 DVD/Blu-Ray masters.
Then you’re cutting off picture information. The black bars are there because the image is either wider or narrower than a standard 1.78:1 TV.
Black bars are good. Cutting off picture is bad.
That’s because when you watch the film on cable, they cut the sides of the image off to fit it on a 1.78:1 TV screen.
The black bars are normal and every movie with an aspect ratio over 1.78:1 will have some level of letterboxing (black bars) on the top and bottom, and every movie with an aspect ratio of less than 1.78:1 will have some level of pillarboxing (black bars) on the sides.
I don’t understand what you’re saying here. Isn’t an “ISO archive file” what you want? Why would you want to extract that? If you end up with an .ISO file, just burn that to disc, that’s what it’s for.
Unless I’m misunderstanding what you’re talking about when you say “ISO archive file” - what is the file extension of this file?
FYI, for anyone who wants to do a new version of that, you’re better off using Hal 9000’s custom ANH’s opening crawl, since he fixed the speed of the “STAR WARS” logo (which has been way too fast in ANH since 1997, but the 1981 crawl didn’t have that issue), but didn’t alter the crawl timing or anything else the way Adywan did for Revisited. It’s the closest we have to the 1981 crawl at the moment (outside of a 4K scan that exists but hasn’t been restored).
With regard to 4K83 - that was scanned from a show print that was struck directly from the negative, if I’m not mistaken, which means while the details are extremely clear and clean, the color on the print doesn’t reflect what an actual color timed release print would look like, so unlike 4K77, you can’t just white-balance it to the sprocket holes; best thing to do there is to use the LPP scan as a color reference to match the 4K83 show print scan to. Frankly I’m a little surprised that hasn’t been done yet.
If you don’t have anything constructive to say…
Are you sure? I thought we had cinema DTS tracks for the 97 SE’s and the PT. I know we have TPM and ROTS, I was pretty positive we had AOTC, too.
- Reinstate Finn’s line about “miniaturized Death Star tech,” as it unfortunately ties into IX.
That’s the single worst line in the entirety of the ST. It really isn’t neccessary to help establish TROS.
+1
- Reinstate Finn’s line about “miniaturized Death Star tech,” as it unfortunately ties into IX.
I don’t think that’s necessary at all, personally.
No, Luke proudly holding the blue lightsaber that he rejected twice throughout the film is too symbolically important to lose.
Yeah, I actually really like using the spinoffs to buffer the trilogies, and Solo before TFA works surprisingly well.
At this point, going movie-only, I’m a fan of this order for a full marathon:
For a first time viewer, though, I’d always advocate for going release order and leaving the spinoff movies for after the saga.
Well, I use Premiere but I’ve never used a dedicated 5.1 track, I’ve always split my source audio into mono WAVs from the beginning and edited using each one on a separate track, linked together, with each track panned left, right, or center as needed. Then I use my above method of muting all but one track and exporting individually.
Can you export as a 5.1 PCM (probably a WAV file)?
Also, just noticed the end of your post - yes, we do have the theatrical DTS audio. I don’t remember if I have it somewhere or not. Schorman is probably the one to ask for access to that.
Do you have each channel on its own track in Premiere? You should be able to mute all but one, export a mono WAV or AIFF of that one channel, then repeat for the other five channels. You can then load up your individual mono channels in one of many free programs to render a 5.1 AC3 track.
