I know this isn't a Laserdisc, but it might help some .....
The Criterion DVD Edition of Armageddon contains color bars.
Cheers
I don't know anything about this type of stuff as I'm lay-person.
But, if someone asked me what I thought about it ..... I'd say it looks like damage, like the film stock it was derived from was cracking due to being pinched or bent in a roller or something.
Otherwise, I got nothing ......
:)
Easy answer is ...... yes. And there are threads here on this. Some of us are looking at how to properly deal with the video while some of us have been working with the audio.

It's been an ongoing process for awhile now.
Welcome to the forum, have fun.

The Diamond ATI Theater 750HD does come with a composite input as well as s-video. The connector you are seeing on the back isn't s-video, it is a connector for a break-out cable which has composite,s-video, and stereo audio connectors.
Sorry, I didn't study well enough! (^^,) I changed the first post accordingly.
Could you confirm that, between all its settings, it has also the 3D/2D comb filter advanced settings?
If so, I must add this one to my wishlist...
Found this on Diamond's site ....

I went with a 720p AVCHD version of Bluray for home viewing....
http://www.noblemd.info/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=12&Itemid=13
I set the format of the 720p to 23.976 and I set the audio delay @ -140ms...this was of course for the DTSHD track. I also set the language to English and set the flag to yes. Let's MKverge run without error codes regarding this.
Jettrell why did you do this? I didn't set any audio delay on my mux (used tsMuxer) and it seems fine...?
I did this because I had a bit of a sync issue. Next time I'll try using tsMuxer.
As for Jurassic Park II & III ......... I HAVE the DTS cinema audio for them. I also have the NTSC Japan set release with DTS but it's only half range, not full range. I have the audio from them ripped to my laptop.
If there are to be future projects concerning these movies I'm ready to contribute what I have. I am still trying to learn how to crop the audio properly so I can get all the reels put together without issue.
Thanks for the thanks too. It was Borisanddoris and ElDonante who deserve the BULK of the credit for starting this trend. THEY were the ones that inspired me to move forward with other DTS audio.
As Boris said earlier ...... Life will find a way .... ;)
_,,,^..^,,,_ said: "Did you know that laserdisc DTS soundtracks are 6ch 44.1KHz 20bit 1,2Mbps ?" Well, today I tested a lot with a DTS laserdisc - guess which title? - and I didn't manage to save more than few seconds of DTS sound using VirtualDub... at least, I discovered that using an audio recorder - something simple like Windows Sound Recorder - is it possibile to record a laserdisc DTS sound directly from the S/PDIF input... Capturing a DTS soundtrack along with its video counterpart could be better, to allow cutting (and/or inserting) frames, together with audio... it would be a LOT more difficult to mux only the LD DTS soundtrack with a digital video (from DVD or BD) and then find where to cut or how to align properly audio with video... What are your experiences about capturing video and DTS audio from a laserdisc? Any feedback is welcome, as the usual little voice popped into my mind whispering "... you have a BUNCH of Jurassic Park laserdiscs... NTSC, PAL, DTS, Dolby Surround, CAV, CLV, Box Sets, english & italian, a making of... and don't forget those Lost World discs too... why don't you start a new Jurassic Park 1+2 DTS [ruLes] project?!?" (^^,)
It would be nice to get the DTS laserdisc audio to have another soundtrack to compare to with others on a BD.
Are you consigned to sell this or are you the original owner? The other thing that I'm curious about is the emovie.com watermark present on the picture .... if that website doesn't own the copyright to the images how can they put their watermark on it? I've seen people gone after for such things as it implies copyright by the entity labeling it.
And yeah, the price is way too high for me as well. But thanks for sharing.
Sadly, this is how I hear C-3PO's voice in the prequels ..... like he's on some PAL related helium binge ..... LOL.
Anyways, it's nice to see others wanting to archive what they have and share with others. Another suggestion might be getting a standalone DVD recorder unit so that you can just do each movie outright to it's own disc and work from there. Granted, you may have to synch audio to it or you could leave what ever the standalone would give you. My Panasonic does 256kbps DD 2.0 audio. It's not as desirable as I'd like but for straight transfers to mpeg2 it is sufficient enough.
Some standalone units even allow you to alter some settings but they're usually very basic when it comes to the recording side of things. Most of what you need you'd probably do in post anyways.

What is your capture process? You using VirtualDub?
Nope did try VirtualDub but it kept dropping frames and I couldnt solve what the issue was. I'm using a usb capture device and the program it came with. Might use VirtualDub down the line after I've tinkered some more.
You answered your own question here without knowing it ..... your issue with frame drops is the USB part of your transfer process. I had the same issue with my capture tests using VirtualDub. For it to work properly you should use an internal capture card.
I also use an external drive with a firewire connection.
I've never had frame drops using a USB capture device (Hauppauge USB Live-2). Then again, I always capture without audio...
There are different factors. For doing audio/video capture together, I've always lost frames using USB because of bandwidth. USB doesn't handle that as well as some would like. Processor, memory, HD space all need to be considered, including which external device you may want to use. I suspect doing just video makes it easier on the capture process when using USB. This is just MY personal experience with it.

The link I've provided might prove useful for the op. There are a myriad of different articles that might provide some helpful tips.
Cheers and good luck with your capture work.

I was tickled to see that they got enough signatures to get it posted and answered.
Classic ................ :)
Any chance there is a live link still available?
Thanks

I would offer the DTS cinema audio for the Theatrical version if it could help out the project.
One could probably decode it to .WAV and make an AC3 soundtrack so one could add in the audio from the deleted/extended scenes seamlessly. It would probably make for a special version of the film.
Just a thought anyways .....
I've been on the search for this again. Any ideas on where one might start searching?
Thanks
The ONLY VHS Godzilla I have is Godzilla 2000. I also seem to remember that the "international" version of this hadn't seen a release at all because Toho was very pleased with the US edit/dub which they did themselves.
I do have a foreign DVD release of 2000 which may in fact hold the longer version. I will have to check.

Anyone else finding that the link doesn't work in Firefox? Even my newly-pasted link below doesn't seem to work - the page flashes white briefly but nothing happens:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/blvro9
Ctrl-click into a new tab works though.
Mine worked fine normally in Firefox.
Thank you for the archive. Great stuff.

BTW, my DTS syncs are almost prepared for you, I'll PM you when they're available.
Sweet, I'm looking forward to this immensely. I am also excited to see where this project goes.
Rockin!!!!!!
I did have the chance to watch this. Now... let me say that I have NOT seen Prometheus as of yet. I did like the idea of this project and I found it enjoyable to watch as a stand alone piece.
Thanks for the hard work and for sharing.
Cheers!!!!

I didn't realize they were still putting out VHS when those were released.
Anyone have A New Hope Soundtrack on 8-Track?
Strangely, this wasn't funny ...... even though I understood what you were getting at.
It would explain why AVCHD is a popular in between for DVD & Bluray. I didn't really understand too much about it ..... thanks for the info folks.

Anyways, the x264 format, this is a compressed format like DiVX or xVid? I haven't seen this version anywhere ..... any chance you can point folks to it for download and comparison?
x264 is a very popular library used for compressing to the MPEG-4 AVC format found on Blu-Ray and AVC discs, and a lot of steaming internet media found around these days. Most (if not all?) of the top freeware video encoders tend to use it for AVC encoding, so chances are most people who have encoded anything to AVC have used it, even if they haven't necessarily heard of it.
Bummer.........it doesn't sound like a very effective codec for projects like these.

Did not read the whole Thread bu you are aware of the fact that there
is a German DVB Broadcast in 1080P in x264 Format out?
Quality is much better than on the GKar Set.
You should read the whole thread....it's a very cool project.
Anyways, the x264 format, this is a compressed format like DiVX or xVid? I haven't seen this version anywhere ..... any chance you can point folks to it for download and comparison?
What would be optimal for the DVB captures is having the original raw files that were used to make the various versions. It would give the opportunity to see what was there before processing was done in the digital domain.
Another optimal solution would be to have access to the actual "professional digital tapes" that may possibly have been used in their raw format.
New sets of eyes and ears can make a world of difference especially with more experience.
Of course, 35mm film would be the best option .... but money and equipment would be the most obvious set backs.
I really want to see this set be a success .... for everyone to enjoy.
