It should do.
From file properties:
Size: 15.7 GB (16,888,247,344 bytes)
Size on disk: 15.7 GB (16,888,250,368 bytes)
You could always use mkvmerge to remove the unnecessary audio tracks. The video stream is only 12.4 GiB according to Mediainfo.
It's part of mkvtoolnix. Go here.
I agree with YanniD that including so many audio tracks is probably not necessary for an MKV release, and would better suit the BD release.
Yes; Avisynth calls the first frame 0 rather than 1.
The default framerate of Imagesource() is 24fps. You have to set it to match the rest of the clips.

You can get the chapter times from the .mpls file under TSMuxer and then (I haven't tried this) add them using MKVMergeGUI under 'Chapter Editor'.
That's right. In tsmuxer, you check the custom chapters radio button under the Blu-ray tab and then import the mpls. Alternatively, eac3to can generate a text file for the chapters from the playlist and if you go to mkvmerge's chapter editor and load that text file, it seems to import the times successfully.
The reds look stronger in all those 2004 shots; nonetheless, it really does look like a deliberate change. I can't believe it. Every time I think that nothing else Lucas does will surprise me, we find another change that baffles me.
I suppose that Harmy could stop rendering and fix this, but there will always be something else to spot, and he has to finish sometime.
Jan said:Well, the settings for the Bluray are done. me=umh is for the faster settings and me=esa for the slower settings, while subme is set to 10 is for both.
Oh, I see. I thought you guys were talking about x264's presets, but it seems you have derived your own "faster" and "slower" settings. Yes; me=esa is a waste of time.
If you are giving your source the bitrate that it needs, then you won't notice much difference with the slower settings. Their impact is significant when you are trying to compress a video to make the resulting file-size really small, but not as significant otherwise. I would advise you to try x264's default settings, but make sure me=umh. In the unlikely even that you are unhappy with the quality, try increasing subme to 8 or 9.
Harmy said:. I could use help with that - what do you guys think is the best way to encode these?
I can PM you some help with the DVD-5 if you need it.
^ Yes, and here. I'm not completely happy with any of the transfers in terms of color. The DC and FC are obviously revisionist in their color timing (though I have come to quite like the latter) and the original DVD looks unpleasantly red.
Wasn't this discussed in other thread?
Bingowings said:The current wave of Titanicmania is bizarre and a bit mawkish from my perspective.
I find it mawkish too.
That's true, and it didn't really bother me to be honest, but I thought I'd signal the fact that I don't oppose those who don't like any changes and want the original to be on the blu-ray to stave off the inevitable argument.

I like Cameron's Titanic and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
I do too.
As long as the original version of the scene is also included on the Blu-ray, I have no problems with this change. It doesn't sound as if it ruins the scene, and I doubt I would even have noticed.
If I were you, I would rip the DVDs with DVD Fab HD Decrypter, demux them with PGCDemux, and use DVD Lab Pro (fully-functional thirty-day trial available) to author a new disc with a basic menu enabling you to select which short film you want to watch. I do not know if there is an even easier way, but this is a relatively straightforward process, as far as I am concerned.
Who was wearing the shift?
A mini-apple is not big enough to live in. New York, on the hand, is.
CP3S said:I've heard it argued that the origami unicorn at the end doesn't make sense without the unicorn dream sequence, but prior to anyone ever seeing the unicern scene in the DC, we saw Deckard pick up the origami unicorn Gaff left and we simply assume it means Gaff has been there and let Rachel live.
Yes; the origami unicorn works absolutely fine without the dream sequence. I prefer the film without it too. My preferred version of Blade Runner would leave whether or not Deckard is a replicant as open as possible.
Bingowings said: I read it as Gaff making a crude comment on how much of a man Deck had shown himself to be. First he calls him chicken, then he makes a matchstick man with a hard on, then a horn of mythical stature.
lol
I do not tend to play streams with forced/default subtitles. I am almost certain that it played the X9 DVDs I made that have default subtitles without my having to turn them on, but that is not much to go on.

Here's what I looked for in my media player:
- Can play MKV, MP4, and AVI/DIVX/XVID files
- Can output Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 audio
- Can downconvert DTS 5.1 to 2.0 stereo (when not using a 5.1 setup) - WDTV couldn't do this at the time I bought my Seagate, now it can
- Can read media as it's organized on the hard drive instead of just throwing everything in an alphabetical list (murder on TV show files)
Most of the big name media players can do all of those.
- Can output 480i composite/component, 480p/720p/1080i component/HDMI, and 1080p HDMI (as a bonus, it can output 576i/p and 720p50/1080i50/1080p50, though I can't really use that except on one friend's projector - nice for watching Doctor Who, though)
It would not be fair of me to comment on this because all I use is HDMI. I do not think any of the players that have been released recently would have a problem with those. (Switching between multiple audio and subtitles tracks has never presented me with any problems.)
What added benefit is there to the Popcorn Hour or Playon!HD Mini?
The only real benefit is one that I mentioned before. They play non-standard streams that other media players have problems with. I do not know why, for example, the Playon!HD Mini should handle streams better than the Mede8er or WDTV Live do, but in my experience it does. I play many HDTV broadcasts, which are often problematic, so this is a high priority for me. I have never owned a Popcorn Hour, but from talking to people with similar priorities it seems that the Popcorn Hour is also better at handling HDTV than the others.
Can they do Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD? 7.1 output?
The version 2 of the HD Mini can, and I am almost certain that the version 1 can. You might have to check this though. I care only about decoding and outputting LPCM stereo over HDMI lol. Perhaps the menus on the WDTV have changed, but when I used it they were very basic, whereas the Mini's were far better. They have become even more elaborate with each firmware update, to the extent that I have stuck with a slightly earlier firmware because it's simpler.
To be clear, I would not recommend that you personally buy a Playon!HD Mini, because it is not really an upgrade on what you currently own. I do think that it is better than the other entry level players of a similar price, so I would recommend it to someone who does not own a player, if they really do not want to spend money on a Popcorn Hour or Dune player.
I had a WDTV Live and did not like it much: the menus were basic and it was not as good at handling problematic files as the Playon!HD Mini (version 1), which is better, in my opinion. The Mede8er is all right.
I would buy one of the Popcorn Hour range. If you do not mind spending a fair amount of money, look at the Dune media players.

I think we have too. It seems to me that he was banned for arguing with Moth3r and for off topic posting, rather than for what he said. Moth3r told him to take his Dave Filoni **** to off topic, not to stop posting about it.
Thanks, Frink. So he thinks you threatened him with a lethal physical attack? lol
What thread did he argue with Moth3r in? It doesn't seem to be the one Bingowings linked to.
