<strong>The Cowclops Transfers (a.k.a. the PCM audio DVD's, Row47 set) Info and Feedback Thread</strong> (Released)

Mallwalker's uploading this to usenet right now. (alt.binaries.starwars)
Guilty.

And that ten-year-old disc gave me fits reading it!
I tried three different DVD burners (don't have any BD-ROM drive here.)
The same drive which wrote the disc even had trouble reading it.
In the end, my rip matches segaflip's original .SFV file
and matches the SHA1 hash within Rikter's original .torrent file.

Nary a scratch on it, the disc was always stored inside my residence-- never in attic, cellar, garage, nor storage locker.
Media code is YUDEN000/T02 made in Japan.

Those three fields really do compose a single frame (GOUT 148551),
but the 3rd field is mis-aligned.
[Actually the first two are mis-aligned from the remainder of the shot.]

So we'll avoid using that field:

She said she said:


c148543=\
cSide2.trim(149323,149342).doubleWeave().pulldown(0,3)#(1,3) #148550
c148551=\
cSide2.trim(149343,149344 ).weave().assumeFPS("ntsc_film")#148551

My masterpiece SE: this one really is better!

then you could process that digitally (frame pull down im guessing)
When it comes to pulldown removal, there's no guessing allowed ;-)


My masterpiece (some assembly required)

First check the trim() near the top, and adjust if needed, so STAR WARS card appears in field 1681.

Then you'll need to replace three combed shots:
1. "Well, come on, red. Let's go." (GOUT 26252)
2. "He's nowhere in sight." (37935)
3. "I can see one of them now." (41017)

Because of different pulldown rates, some of the replacement clips
are shorter than the shot they're meant to replace, while one is longer!
So it will be deliberate creative decision time for you.
Insert blackness for strict GOUT conformance (as I have done in Gringo scene)
or strategically repeat some frames if you wish, if you find blackouts too jarring.
No doubt you can do the GOUT-syncing without my help
using the IVTC'ed clips defined in the script.

If you go to combine side1 & 2 scripts, be aware that clip variables
cReel4A and its alter-ego cReel07 are declared in both scripts.
So don't let the second instance clobber the first.

And don't forget, side2 also had one shot needing replaced.
It's that Y-squadron bloke, whose wingman got a cloaking device (148549).

There's a false start before the oil bath (27821) which you'll probably want to blackout,
as well as the LaserVision logo before the start.

Well, what have I forgot to say? . . . something no doubt.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I have. No I'm serious! (but maybe not enough so to tackle 1425-80 ;)

For crazy dead mom, who wasn't a STAR WARS fan.
But I was working on that script three years ago when I got the phone call from my sister
telling that crazy mom killed herself.
There's some satisfaction to face my fears, go back 'there' and finally solve it.

I can see one of them now.

They did a separate telecine session using spherical lens, then edited those shots in the video realm.
That's not too surprising itself, but it gets weirder.
Instead of time-compressed, the replacement clip(s) are time-expanded.
Rolling slower than ntsc_film: 50 frames comprise 127 fields.

That was the last of the unidentified rates, now solved. Almost there...

1130-80 Side2 IVTC script is available for beta test.
Check the trim() command at the top, and adjust to match your source.
Starting from zero, we expect field 127 to be exterior shot of Falcon in hyperspace.
Field 128 should be Han disengaging hyperdrive.

If you find script errors please tell us.
We already know about this guy:

He's not a mistake-- he's a Deliberate Creative Decision (TM) for our coach, waiting to happen.
Script contains pseudocode to that effect.



If that script doesn't make your heads spin, then this preview of Side1 might do

Info: I just made the best Star Wars DVD

But, you're the one wh-- nevermind.
Maybe it was a [soon-to-be] former member of his team using that login.

Wonder if Spider got email notification?

Maybe his 'Best DVD' wasn't shared but in his defense, he did make some other contribution to this community.
IIRC he shared some Spanish subs for ISOMIX trilogy, or one of those early preservation efforts archived in our cupboard

Help: Looking for... 1989 SWE preservation
Time

Well there it is finally-- it could be our slowest posting evar.

The SFV file was made by segaflip, and the alternative spelling folder name and all, all his.
All I done was preserve it for nine years.

For n00bs, there's 2 incredible shrinks to look for:

After Ben said You'll have to sell your speeder.
--- ratio shrink ---
Before Gringo asked Going somewhere, Solo?

The 2nd shrink is pictured above.
We can't recall the dialog in that shot off the top of our collective heads.
Is it before Solo asked Didn't we just leave this party? ?

Someone should make a copy of the ORF1 recording that either adds that frame from another source or duplicates/blanks that one frame, and then sync it to the cinema dts.
Yeah, somebody should purchase that DVR from Starman.
Wonder how much replacement fee the service provider would charge in case he got burgled ?
