I'm almost certain the frame counts are accurate because of how easily it was to synchronise; position each reel correctly to the reference video and mixdown; no time-stretching or cutting the audio mid-reel was needed to make it fit.

We found TPM as serendipitous.

On the other hand, this VHS includes six frames missing from althor's mkv.
From the script's output:
145749 is a reel change
79188, 137799-800 are LD side changes
78940 & 79452 are neither-- they're mysterious mysteries

TPM: A Unified Theory

Hi all. We're back with a new-and-improved script.
There is a sample, which was previewed in RU.08 & Valeyard's team thread.
Left is Handman's VHS, center althor1138's LD, right adywan (anamorph.)

The IVTC portion of the script hasn't changed since our previous post.
We did insert one black frame as place-holder for the missing frame mentioned above,
and moved the title card to match the cinema DTS disc.

We had to insert total of 6 black frames into althor's mkv, and 5 into adywan's m2v wherever frames were missing.
There is reel3/reel4 change during the pod race.
It shows some inserted black frames, and also begs the question:
How do we know the LD is intact? Maybe it need black frame(s) inserted too?

We look to the soundtracks to find the answer.
We'll dare to assume the cinema DTS discs aren't missing any frames.
There you'll find macro & micro shots of the same R3/R4 transition.
Top half is schorman's LD rip, while the 2 bottom tracks are the cinema DTS discs 3 & 4 (center channel only).
In the close-up, we see they're not perfectly aligned.
Just eyeballing it, the discrepancy looks ~5 milliseconds, which is considerably less than one film frame's duration.
We conclude the LD isn't missing any frames, else the time shift would be much larger.
Rinse, Repeat for other reels and LD side changes.

In the comments at the bottom of the script you'll find the first frame of each reel,
the last frame of the first shot, and first frame of the last shot of each reel.

"That's all, folks" all the frames from TPM.
We don't think you'll find any more.

If you would like to join our team, all sources mentioned are available from 'spleen torrents.
We thank all the seeders.

Love,
The i-Team

Just keep repeating it-- eventually 'we' will start believing, right?

Talking of repeats, I found several repeated frames in the preview last week:
9188 & 9189
15218 & 15219
26022 & 26023
27276 & 27277

I remember you mentioned replacing some dark shots from an Eastman source.
In such a scenario, if the first frame of a shot got repeated somehow
or the last frame of a replaced shot had been repeated ...
[... even then I still wouldn't understand. Who am I trying to fool?]
Those examples given are all from the middle of shots. How bizarro!

Cue the P.R. guy to tell us once again
that all problems will have been solved by your top men.
Just keep repeating it ...

Where's that confounded bridge?
Left is Handman's VHS, center althor1138's LD, right adywan (anamorph.)

It's part of my latest frame-counting exercise
sample

VHS is most complete, missing only 1.5 frames,
althor missing 6 frames,
adywan missing 5 frames, with one extra frame that doesn't belong.

Ok, then that will be my random script for today :)

My coding style has evolved in 3+ years since I first offered that script.
If you can decipher the comments, you can sort of 'see' the telecine 2's & 3's within.
