Darth Editous

I still swear I read somewhere that the AC3 mixes on DVDs were "broken" by the need to keep them sounding good on less-than-5.1 equipment. Something about encoding Prologic info in them as well? The channels in the DTS mixes, not being the default mix, could stay theatrically discrete.

This issue supposedly wasn't the case with Laserdisc, which may be another reason LD mixes sound better.

Still, it does just what it says on the tin: it lets you rewrite the dialog norm to any value without re-encoding.

You're telling me that if you are wearing (sun)glasses while sitting in a chair, when you turn around your shoulder/the chair will push them up on your face such that they don't sit on your nose properly? I doubt it.

Not sure if I've ever mentioned this before (because to be honest I've not looked over the script in detail) but this line:

Spline16Resize(728,388).Crop(8,14,-6,-10,align=true).AddBorders(3,58,3,58)

Just a quick suggestion, and one I've made before - if you're planning on viewing this on any kind of modern display (i.e. flat screen TV), you'd be better off not resizing - certainly not with spline16resize or anything similar. Your TV will do a much better job of resizing.

That would be the transport escape scene,... Apart from looking incredibly fake in the trailer, having one x-wing shot down like that complete destroys that moment of victory.

 

Name me one other person besides you that feels that way.....LMAO.

Anyway, the facts for me are:

In 1983, they planned to develop what they called the "blue laser".

If you think it's linked to the laser discs then ok, why not.

Does version 3 of this edit have your 3d Mattes? Or are you still working on a V. 4?

And I remember very well the words "blue laser" used for describing that technology.

(Did I do that joke already?)

Funny thing, I already saw that sequence one or two years ago on youtube.

What you've described is extremely weird, to the point that (and no offence is intended) I believe you must have be mistaken.

I'm not aware of any circumstances under which you can rip a DVD, load it into, say, VirtualDub-MPEG2, and not see every frame.

Happy to be proven wrong, but if you're only seeing them on your PS3, your PS3 is doing something wacky.

They are encoding errors.

Thankyou DE! So in your releases (I'm assuming PAL sourced) do you just leave it as is? i.e. same speed and same pitch?

What about your NTSC releases?

As I've said, I've been able to slow it down 4%, but any scene change ends up with a slight fade due to the merging of frames on the added ones and it ends up overlapping at each cut.

Btw does someone remember/know what line actually vader saying while he was gestured to tarkin? I think they cut it for some reason.

Or (and maybe this should be in radical redux), a larger weapon dish is hidden under a continent or icecap on Endor (the forest moon of) itself?

DVD rips from the captures...?

Anyway, sounds like the LD might be time compressed - AIUI, they could run the video signal a little fast to get more video on a side without having to cut anything.

DE

Yeah, and Luke missed the first time with the grappling hook...

I've only ever seen the preview test one you did ages ago and i didn't know you had a finished version. Do you have a link to it?

only the quality of the upscale will be worse than if it was done in a computer
