the PAL release from 2006 and i live in the states so i was pretty screwed on not being able to acquire that.

Oh boo hoo, cry us another river.
Living in USA doesn't prevent you buying a 2006 R2 disc if that's what you like.
Shop online. They call it World-Wide web for a reason.
Get a $40 DVD player to read it, or any HTPC could play it right?
Quit feeling sorry for yourself.

But this thread isn't about ROTJ nor is it about raw X9 captures, and I don't even know what the fuck you're talking about de-haloing.
Who did that?
Go spew your bile in the X9 thread, or better yet go back under your bridge

Did you ever finish this?

Yes, on usenet. At binsearch type "Mallwalker's thingamajig"
should find both old and new versions.

Be sure to ask questions!
It's all about the 2's and 3's
Here it is in a nutshell:

Typical telecine pattern
...:2:3:2:3:2:3:2:3:2:3:2:3:2:3:2:3:2:3...
where
:2: means that film frame comprise two video fields in the stream
:3: means that film frame comprise three fields (one field is repeated)

In the spreadsheet, in the CLV columns:
telecine :3: are written in three parts, for example 01:02:03
telecine :2: are written as two parts, either 01:02 or 01\02
[The second form denotes bottom\top of adjacent video frames.]
[Technidisc uses drop-frame timecode, indicated by semicolons in the spreadsheet.]

In the CAV columns:
telecine :3: are shown as three-digit numbers e.g. 123
while :2: are the ones which could be written as two parts.
For example 11222 in North America we'd write in two parts,
separated by a comma 11,222 while our EU friends might write 11.222
Those cells which could be written in two parts are telecine :2:

As soon as the STAR WARS title card appears in frame 688,
it becomes obvious that DC & Technidisc are not the same telecine.
Because DC's title card is a :3: while Technidisc is :2:

Both SWE's are quite similar in their pulldown pattern, and their missing frames.

Hope to add a PSB column soon :)

PS78: Pre-ANH Star Wars Bootleg VHS from 1978 ***"RAW" DVD RELEASED***

^Spaced Ranger in the scenario you describe, would it look something like this?
So far I'm not seeing that in PS78v0.1. Fields look pretty-well blended there
but I suppose it could be the result of DivX encode, as AntcuFaalb said.

AntcuFaalb said:

PM sent. I think DivX may have screwed with the picture in v0.1, so don't trust what you see.

If you can handle it, I can arrange to send you my 60GB Huffyuv AVI of Capture #1. PM me if you're interested.

How about posting up a 60MB sample?
Maybe the first few seconds of receding STAR WARS logo? (Or any scene with motion and contrast)
That way we could all have a go at it...

Did you plan to IVTC the five captures first (if possible) or median first, then IVTC the result ?

Quick question. Does this IVTC script GOUT sync the video as some of your other scripts have done??? Ta.

Yes, they all do. It was a design goal, or something.


We're off-topic but let's face it, AntcuFaalb is destined to capture a rental VHS someday with his fancy new gear ;)
When he does his IVTC, that script can tell him where to look for changes in telecine cadence.


Now I'm curious to see how retartedted has handled the several 1's in the pulldown pattern.
Perhaps I'll head to myspleen . . . then usenet

One place that doesn't seem to fit is the 20th Century Fox fanfare. The 1985 mix has the re recorded version while the 1130-84 version is the original 50's recording. This disc has the newer version, instead of the one that should be on the 1977 mix.

Nice find, schorman

Back in 2005, Neil S. Bulk told us that 1130-84 have the re-recorded fanfare.

Belbucus confirmed it in 2006:

Other previously documented issues included the wrong Fox logo cue, and some instances of pretty severe "wow" or sudden pitch shift. Everything has been repaired and/or filled from alternate sources, taking great care to match the EQ and level so the fixes integrate seamlessly.
