 Actually, Jetrell Fo, Star Trek 2 is the one Trek Blu-ray that doesn't suffer from excess DNR just revisionist color timing. It is way too blue.

Did Nicholas Meyers supervise the change?  I for one am just working on trying to get these downloaded and sorted since a lot of folks don't have newsgroup access.  It takes time and patience. 

I have had to use quickpar on at least 2 of the movies but they fixed any missing block issues.  Usenetserver freeking rocks when it comes to such complete retention for up's so old but I pay for that access. 

I am going to go through the movies briefly just to make sure they all have their own folders and partial info files.  Then we can start working on getting them fixed up and figure out where the best place to host them would be so that everyone can download them freely without complaint that they might be left out.

Sorry, its been a tough week and Wisconsin is getting hammered heavily right now with snow.  I don't want to rush this and screw it up.

I'm just thinking out loud here about STII ..... technically, the theatrical version could be re-created using footage from the 2 disc DVD set.  Of course, that footage would have to be touched up a bit maybe to match the HDTV footage.

 Wouldn't it be more prudent to just use the footage from the BD but color-corrected to match? I'd definitely be interested if these were re-up'ed to a torrent eventually... myspleen maybe? :)

 If the BD has DNR and the HDTV cap/ DVD does not, which would you go with?  As for the uploading to myspleen, I don't know if it would be possible.  Since I don't see the SW HDTV caps there I would guess these wouldn't be allowable either.  They would have to go up elsewhere.

How do I turn this h.264 @ 25fps to NTSC without quality loss so I can get the DVD audio to synch up?

 Use uncropMKV.  (By the maker of multiAVCHD)  It's worked for me.  There's VERY little quality loss, in fact you can choose the bitrate for the file.

 I have re-encoded these kind of files using Ripbot264 and have been very happy with the results.

 I like Ripbot too but in Jetrell Fo's case he would have to re-encode the audio in Ripbot per what the maker of Ripbot has stated in a forum.  This is not the case with Uncropmkv.  (Apparently there are sync issues if you don't re-encode the audio in Ripbot)

 Are you saying that Uncropmkv can slow audio without re-encoding?

I believe he's saying that it will slow down the video so I can add the DVD audio to it without sync issues .... or am I reading you wrong stretch?

Edit:

Apparently Uncropmkv doesn't care about the audio you have with the video.  So, I'm guessing I can slow down the film, then demux the video from the audio, and remux the new audio to the video.

I'm just thinking out loud here about STII ..... technically, the theatrical version could be re-created using footage from the 2 disc DVD set.  Of course, that footage would have to be touched up a bit maybe to match the HDTV footage.

I know we have some folks here that could probably do it well and since we have the PCM for Wrath of Khan it would make for a nice all-around experience.

It's a thought anyways. 

I've got 2 left, 5 n 6.  I've been watching brief clips of each download and I have to say they do look nice.  I believe there may have been a bigger source file as the DTS ones use audio from the 2 DVD sets along with the commentaries.

I have NO clue on how to slow them down and replace audio to sync.  DoomBot and I have the cinema DTS for Generations through Nemesis but I haven't been able to find Nemesis as of yet.

I'd love to try to color regrading the full movies, but I need the HDTV versions...

 The point was to try to restore the theatrical color timing using the BD (at least for TPM). The TB, DVD, LD and VHS versions have the "pink" filter and are all cropped.

 I'm sure Andrea understood you perfectly.  He's only trying to help out.  I don't think he meant anything bad by it, lol.

:)

Okay .... I need help.

How do I turn this h.264 @ 25fps to NTSC without quality loss so I can get the DVD audio to synch up?  I am not a fan of tweaking the audio to fit. 

I am also a complete noob when it comes to this stuff.

Thanks in advance.

Space Kaijuu, please thank the anonymous donor.  This will be a nice addition to this project.

I'm guessing there are no caps for 7,8,9?  From what I can see Sky showed them but only 6 caps are available.

Bummer.

I have some great news guys! 7,8, and 9 are, in fact, available on Usenet.:) Again, they are over 1600 days old so you will need a bad ass provider. PM me for the file names. They have no password this time.

I snagged First Contact.  It has 2 DVD audio commentary tracks.  I believe the DTS is from the 2 Disc collectors edition DVD.  I am working on synching the single disc DVD ac3 audio to it using Tsmuxer to see if I can do it.

The problem is, with Harmy and Team -1... you don't get that satisfaction of buying the film you love. You have a copy of it, But it's not quite the same.

 

This is not a problem, at least not to me and others who are enjoying them.  The hard work and dedication put in to them by those folks more than makes up for "the copy".

 the SW franchise is cursed with a mentally ill sociopath as its creator.

LOL.  You're the reason people like us who care about film preservation get a bad rap from casual fans. 

I would agree.

I have a usenet subscription so that is good news indeed.

Hello, would also be interested in the .nzb's for these, thanks in advance!

Yeah, but the thread has been deleted, so what does it matter?

2nd funny response to something I said .... glad to see you understood what I was getting at.

Jetrell Fo said:

That is what I wanted to ascertain by comparison.

The guys down on the docks aren't going to like hearing that.

This is the first funny thing you've responded to me with.  LOL

pittrek said:

Could somebody of you usenet guys who received the PM please create a torrent?

We'll see what we can do for you once we get them downloaded.

:)

dlbsyst said:

As it turns out guys my cap of Star Trek 2 is the longer version of the movie and not the theatrical.

Interesting that they showed this one and not the theatrical.  Thanks for the heads up.

I have tried to download the 5 Star Edition of Return of the Jedi, but nobody is seeding it. How does it compare to TB and GKar?

TeamBlu's work is exciting!

It is simply a laserdisc capture.  It looks fine on a CRT TV but once it hits a hi-def screen it loses a lot of luster.

Having the actual discs and original case art was the draw for me and I got mine fairly cheap. 

Maybe uploading it shouldn't be discussed so openly considering it's been poo-poo'd a bit and might bring unwanted issues from unknown people.

The links were obviously removed by the uploader for a reason, right?

I would be interested in seeing what the color timing is on the HDTV release of Star Trek II.

The blu ray is restored from the negative.

Are there screenshots of the color of the uniforms Kirk and his crew wear?

In the blu ray some shots are almost orange or brown like the source the negative was faded.

While some of the earlier home video versions had the film overly red with the colors blown out but the uniforms were red.

Sadly, there aren't a lot of shots from the different HDTV versions even though there is a lot of discussion about what people like or don't.

All I can do after reading this thread and article is to quote this .....  :)

REVENGE OF THE JEDI STORY CONFERENCE TRANSCRIPT, JULY 13 to JULY 17, 1981—SUMMARY
Participants: George Lucas, Richard Marquand, Lawrence Kasdan, and Howard Kazanjian
Location: Park Way House

Note: Many of the ideas here are conceptual only and should not be considered as canon in the Star Wars saga.

I have the Star Trek Movies 1-6 SkyHD caps. They are h264 with Dolby Digital 5.1. Unlike the Blu-ray's, they don't suffer from DNR and IMO have the original theatrical colors.

Do you have info on them?  Are these the 4.3GB versions I saw but didn't have any seeders for snatching?

skyjedi2005 said:

So there is no region A blu ray correct.  I know if there was a Japan Blu ray i would own it.  I"m in region A not B.  So also like Street fighter II animated i don't have this on BD.

Also what is the best version of the full frame 4:3 i'm pretty sure there is no HD version.

The long out of print Sony release came with a second DVD with a version supposedly remastered but had different colors than the 16:9 version.

A friend of mine years ago told me metrodome  did their own version which was worse?  Not sure its been so long. That would have been PAL while the Sony was NTSC.

Only 2 I know of is the single disc Special Collector's Edition and the 2 disc 20th Anniversary Edition DVD's (which has widescreen n fullscreen versions), both of which I have.  Both NTSC.

I also saw a 1995 VHS version on eBay .... there is a few of them.

Do they have any logos on the video? I would love to get these if it is possible.

Second that request .... it's why I started this thread.
