It’s just that I was hoping that later versions have that fixed.

Have what fixed? You need to be clearer in terms of what your referring to.

All audio in 4k83 is in sync, always has, no changes needed.

GOUT sync is technically out of sync, but it’s not noticeable.

4k83 will never be made GOUT synced, as that would involve dropping unique frames.

Does that answer your question?

What do you mean by Audio syncing issues?

GOUT-synced is no longer the preferred method, because frames are missing from GOUT.

For foreign audio, GOUT sync doesn’t matter, because the dubs are not lip synced.

Nothing has changed with any release of 4k83, and this is not seen as a fault.

4K83 is not gout synced. It has two extra frames shown in theatres.
The optical print audio is the primary audio track.
hairy_hen has created a new 5.1 audio track for this release.
schorman has updated all the English LaserDisc audio to this release.
All audio provided with 4k83 is synced to 4k83.

Any other gout audio you may have may be slightly out of sync after 0:47:41, if used with 4k83. It should not be noticeable though.

Foreign language tracks don’t lip sync anyway so you’d never notice it being slightly out.

In updating the audio tracks for 4k83 our audio experts actually discovered that the gout synced audio tracks are not actually properly gout synced themselves. All tracks are off sync by 2 to 3 frames for over half of the movie.

In the new version of 4K83, is the audio back in sync?

By ‘back in sync’, do you mean GOUT-sync? I don’t think any of the 4k83 releases use that sync standard.

All 35mm preservations have moved to ‘frame complete’ sync.

Good Morning America just posted an interview with Carrie and Harrison that I’ve never seen before.

Does the picture corrupt for anyone else at the very end of this video? Seems to also be corrupted on the YouTube stream.

Hi there,

I read that a low-contrast print had been found and would be used to improve the black and low brightness detail that was missing in v1.x Has this print been assimilated into v2.0?

Please may I have a link for v2.0 SDR, no-DNR ?

Thank you.

Hey Scott, you’re probably better heading over to the other forums where the 4k** team post updates and tests. Details are in the first post of this topic.

No spleen invites available, but if you’re looking for Star Wars projects, see Snoop’s comment above.

I was hoping you would speak about the sources you used, and how you created the project, but your previous response said it was too long to mention.

Well done for getting this project over the finishing line and released, because a lot of projects are announced but fail to materialize for one reason or another.

No problem, I can appreciate wanting the highest quality version of a film, without any storage limitations.

I would say that given the source material used for these projects, you probably wouldn’t see any major differences with a larger data rate, and if anything that might start to cause playback issues when streaming the files from a NAS to a TV / Streaming Device. This is what happened when some other projects targeted a UHD-BD style data rate of 100Mbps.

Ron78 said:

Hallihallo Laserschwert, great work, thank you very much for that 😃). One more question, maybe there will be something with more data rate, i.e. a version around 80 or 90GB for e.g. Doublelayer BR or as a file for playback.

A dual layered Blu-ray is a BD50 as mentioned in the OP, which is about 45-ish GB.

Non one does 100GB home discs like the studio because of very low compatibility between the recordable discs and set top players.

Also scope titles have a lot of black pixels making up the letterbox bars, so the number of active pixels means very high bitrates are not as needed as 1.78:1 films.

I wouldn’t imagine there are any quality issues, but of course let the OP know if you find anything.

So what resolution are the mp4 files?

So what is the source for this? You mentiom film prints, but the final file is a very small mp4 file.

Could you explain more about your workflow and the technical process?

How does this project compare to the other scans of 35mm Special Edition prints that already exist?

Can you please post some screenshots?

I think Frater may have been saying the Dutch subtitles used ‘O’, and like English, modern Dutch also uses ‘Oh’.

That was how I interpreted his comment.

So it appears the HTTPS version of the URL gets redirected but the HTTP URL still works. Weird.

Yes, the site got hacked recently and corrupted by malware due to an exploit in WordPress…I always disliked WordPress for websites, and this doesn’t help my feelings about it.

The site is broken as well I believe in that all links from the first page give a 404. Except the link to the old (non-WordPress) Holiday Special site, that works fine still!

I will try to get it all fixed. It’s sort of halfway fixed now, but there is still work to be done to get the whole thing working again.

—SKot

That sucks, I’m sorry to hear that. There really are some scummy people who’ll just target anything or anyone.

Best of luck getting things back online again.

Just reviewing a load of open tabs and https://www.starwarsholidayspecial.com/ appears to be gone now?

Hitting the url redirects to: https://www.adstide.com/

Archive.org has a wayback snapshot from 19th May 2024: https://web.archive.org/web/20240519110721/https://www.starwarsholidayspecial.com/about/

Did anyone archive an offline copy of the site while it was up? I believe this is much harder to do with Wayback Machine copies, as it alters the base html.

I hope SKot is ok.

About 20 hours now but thanks for moderating requests made for someone else.

My pleasure. I know some people have unrealistic expectations as to how quickly creators respond to requests, so I feel the least I can do is mention that it can be days or even (shudder) weeks before they have a chance to respond.

I’m sure the project owner will respond when they can, and apologise for keeping you waiting.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

As Paul Atreides would say, “Live Long and Prosper”.

Ultimatepump said:

Anyone still have the files? I think the author left. No answers toy PM’s

You waited about 4 hours before coming to that conclusion?

If you click on the user’s name, his profile states he last visited yesterday.

Have some Patience.

I had completely forgotten about this, but I too donated back in 2018.

I haven’t seen schorman in a while either, hope he’s ok.

He’s more active over on TSWT Forums these days anyway.

I hope poita is alright too, hasn’t posted in 5 years.

Good Point!

I hope Poita is OK as well, He’s mentioned some health scares a few times.

So, with 41 hours left on the campaign, this project has been funded!

Sean Astin tweeted support for the Project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lifeaftermovies/life-after-the-goonies/posts/4145759

Corey Feldman has also lent his support: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lifeaftermovies/life-after-the-goonies/posts/4145931

Adam F Goldberg has joined the team as a Producer: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lifeaftermovies/life-after-the-goonies/posts/4146880

Looking forward to sitting down and watching this one some point next year.

Shame that there’s no official comment on what happened to this print after this;

schorman13 said:

The film was shipped to a gentleman in LA with connections to Poita. I have not heard from Poita himself for quite a while (I hope all is well). At this point, I wish I could offer more information, but that’s all I can say at the moment.

I kicked in some cash for this back in the day and I know a lot of other people did. Would be nice to get some closure.

I had completely forgotten about this, but I too donated back in 2018.

I haven’t seen schorman in a while either, hope he’s ok.

Can’t seem to get the sound working on V1.4 of 4K77

Can you provide more information as to how you are playing the file? Where did you download the file from?

George Rehmert said:

Hi, I’m a new member. I hear that 4K80 was completed. Does anybody have a download link to a 1080p no DNR version of 4K80?

All the information is in the post directly above yours.

Just a heads up, there are 10 days left to back this project.

If you don’t feel comfortable backing a future project, the three titles that have been completed and released:

Life After Flash
Life After Navigator
Life After Neverending Story

Are all available to purchase on the official website:

https://www.lifeaftermovies.com/shop

The BD25 discs have menus, and more audio tracks, in particular audio commentaries.

I’m not sure the size of the AVCHD files, it may be the same video quality.

Did you post this on that forum? Maybe someone will jump on to seed it for you?
