Am I the only one who read "aptx" as "Apoptoxin" ?  I've been watching way too much Detective Conan.

Rainbowing.  Overzooming.  They're sharper than the R2s but that can somewhat be remedied on the R2s with LimitedSharpenFaster and/or FastLineDarken, I think.  But the R2s have the ugly teal shift.

ETA:

Puto, a friend of mine who helps me with my sub projects, says the R1 source has a terrible problem with color bleeding on account of the source material.  This affects all Funi-based releases except for, for some reason as I mentioned, the R4s of 1-13 which come from a different source and have minimal filtering.

Sure.  I just don't know if I have the knowhow to do it justice.

I've got ISOs on hand for the entire series R1 "Blue Brick" and R2 (doesn't matter the edition, the only diff is the menus).

A friend suggested trying to procure the R4AU for eps 1-13 as he says they may be the best source.  He's also got at least one episode original broadcast audio, dunno if he'd be able to get more.

:<?

inb4 jokes about Syfy in Poland.

Yeah, srestore and animeivtc work wonders on weird stuff.  srestore is my goto for 25 fps telecined material.

If you had a PAL source that wasn't blended, but telecined, I could have fixed it :(

I like the opening better than the more familiar Sherman/Sherman theme.

FLAC isn't a wrapper for PCM.  It's a compressed format.  Among lossless compression formats, however, it's probably the most compatible - but you're not likely to find support for it in video outside of Matroska, and certainly not on a toaster.

Most ironic.

Prolly sane as I got a Disney thread going here some years ago.

And yes, really needs the preservation.

The settings I use for most of my encodes are

--preset placebo --crf 18 --threads 8 --keyint 300 --min-keyint 24 --chroma-qp-offset -2 --merange 40 --me umh --direct spatial --subme 10 --psy-rd 1.10:0

but those are for a size/quality balance; you might want to raise the quality setting to --crf 16 for a higher quality, but I don't think going past that would be of much use.

Don't thank me yet... I still have to get my equipment back. :P

Chances are I'll prolly have it back next month, depending on circumstances. I'll see what I can do, but don't hold your breath.

I may have a 1988 CLV rip somewhere, but don't count on that either since I only capped any of that for the "Walt Disney Classics" bumper.  I could cap that too, but...again...only when I have my player back.

Well, when I get my equipment back I can try to rip the 1988 CAV if it's in demand...

Camera?

I lost a damn computer in the mail. >_<

The VHS of Ben-Hur switches from P&S to LB during the race.

When released on video (both Japan and US) the third Ranma 1/2 movie - better known, for some strange reason, as OAV 9 - had 4:3 OPs and everything else letterboxed; not sure how it was originally, some people claim it had *no* OPED theatrically.

Love don't come easy, it's a game of give and take.

If I understand, Red drives are really only good for RAIDs.  Green drives are more prone to failure by their power-saving design.

This is why some say "Original Original Trilogy".

Well, it looks like it was DVD-sourced in the beginning, and then he got film?

It came a bit after.

I don't have a spamtrap, Alpine doesn't really do that.

Same.  Well, I used a different handle, but eh.

I take the approach of keeping my mouth shut because I've been known to reveal what an idiot I really am when I start yakking.

I'm just hoping I can somehow contribute in a way in which I am able to.
