SRestore is for converting telecined 25 fps PAL material back to 23.976 NTSC.

It's two files.  From what I heard, the opening scene from Makafushigi daibouken (where the Crane Hermit menaces Pilaf, Shu and Mai with Tao-paipai) wasn't dubbed in the first place, but there's still a bit missing from the beginning.  Didn't look like Beta though, it looked like VHS.

"ARM" is a small group of people on my IRC network, mostly me, who do dub-over-raw, raw-over-dub, and similar reconstructions.

As for the Big Green thing - only the first 30 minutes (including commercials) were uploaded before the Daizex guys scared him straight and apparently he zotted everything he had. :(

Daizex annoys me.  They ran off some guy who had the rare "Big Green" dub of Blood Rubies.

The rip I have of the movie lacks the beginning of the Makafushigi daibouken part; the rest is intact.  I think I got it off YT - couple of my friends over at ARM have been looking for more material too.

French stuff from Canada is NTSC.

The "but" is it's timebombed shareware.

Doesn't work for Hulu anymore.

GetFLV does, but...

Now that Funimation’s started to release BluRays that are even better than the best Toei has to offer, I’m considering what else I might be able to reconstruct.

• Ultimate Uncut Edition (covers episodes 1-67)
  This was only released on DVD through episode 27.  However, the names of episodes and the 2.0 audio were released, both on DVD (Orange Brick) and BluRay.  The Japanese audio is comparable to the BluRay and Dragon Box.  The 5.1 audio, well…  Also, R4 DVDs exist of the Mexican dub, allowing me to preserve that at the same time (the UUE DVDs have the Mexican dub on them as well).  What I can’t preserve, because I don’t have them, are the exactly typeset end credits (I lack the font to recreate them) and the title cards (I can’t do the “blood wash” effect).  Apparently it did air on Cartoon Network, though?

• Saban Z
  Most likely mixed with R4, if I can detelecine it.  I’ll prolly be imperfect with the editing though and do it like CardCaptors (that’s still on tap, I haven’t forgotten).

• Original version Funi 68-291.
  Funi fixed a few problems with their original dub.  Most likely I can fill in recaps for the Ginyu eps with the redone versions (the DVDs don’t have recaps).  About 2/3 of the next-episode previews are missing.

Rebuilding the original dub should be almost mindless, apart from the NEPs… and would furthermore make it easier to recreate THESE:

• Broadcast version Funi 68-291 (53-276).
  I have one VHS tape of this, but my VCR has trouble with it (prolly better if I had a remote).  The tape is like Geneon’s Saban tapes - only 1 recap, only 1 preview, so stuff needs to be rebuilt.  Also there are some paint edits - mainly because “Mr. Satan” was renamed “Hercule” and “Hell” was renamed “Home for Infinite Losers” (as in Saban’s version).  1 ep was omitted from this version.

THIS leads back to the main project - Canadian broadcast version, 123-291 (108-276), which was mostly done using the Funi broadcast masters.

(The UUE opening I have looks like holy hell, too… too much read is death on mpeg-2 codecs.  Maybe it oughta be rebuilt too…)

I guess I was bitten by the account culling there. *runs*

Would be the initial, pre-1985 home video P&S master, not?

What I'd like to dig up, and I tried and failed to do it 4 years ago, is a mix that resembles the mono mix but is stereo.

One of my sources was the GOUT - the dubs on the GOUT are based off the same elements as the mono mix - also referenced other mixes, and Story of SW LP.

Nah.  Just dropping in replacement footage.  I think he had planned out that he might need to switch sources at one point.

Maybe those with 35s can look for ideas?

Now if only he felt the same about the movies proper.

Yes.

I think the ANH dubs have, in general, been based on the mono mix (even the stereo ones).

I've used both.  I can't remember which I was using for the last cap I did but I'm guessing it was the FFMPEG implementation of HuffYUV, because FFMPEG is fast even though it doesn't multithread.  Speed was essential - wanted the fewest bottlenecks possible.

It is AVI that I cap in (huffyuv video and pcm audio).

I refuse to use WMV for anything.

For the record, the reason I brought up the cap box issue is a friend offered to help with video cleanup, but not if I handed him mpeg2 files...had to be losslessly capped.

Uh, that's what that computer IS.  It's my other computer, the main one I use for day to day stuff... the case was already damaged, the front panel was hanging loose because otherwise I couldn't plug in a mic, the movers broke it off.

The capping computer is mostly brand new, built it there, couldn't use it because one of my roommates at that place kept shutting off the power on me!

I've moved *TWICE* and had some technical difficulties.  Good hardware, nowhere to hook it up...yet. (PCI Express vidcap card in a quadcore with 8 GB RAM.  Needs a faster hard drive though.)  I'm gonna figure it out later.

My main machine got damaged, and I've only ever come on here from that one since I got it.  That's why I haven't been on.  Got bored, wondered what the status was on another project, and came back.

Some news on my front.

I'm not familiar with the deal of capping on Windows or with heavy cleanup filters, but I have a raw unfiltered lossless rip of the second half of the movie that's in reasonably good shape, albeit very, very noisy.  I'm going to still see what I can do.  For some reason I lose a lot more frames capping the front of the disc.

Also, lol msmooth.

As far as I can tell, it's edited a lot more crudely than I remember seeing on a Kingston TV station back in '94 (and doesn't appear to be the TV edit you're looking for - I remember checking it out way back then).  It aired on WUTV (Fox affiliate in Buffalo, NY) a few years back.  I don't know if my DVDs have survived but I have them around here somewhere.
