Thought I'd show some stuff I've cooked up for covers for various project-related DVDs. (*NOTE: Not all of these DVDs will be made available here as they come from other DVDs, either out-of-print or out-of-market. Only if it's sourced from LD or VHS will I mention release information here.)

If I myself could cap LD to DVD in any format, I'd prolly aspect-correct PAL LB -> NTSC Anamorphic.

Increase in vertical res: 1.2x
Target vertical res: 352 (approx.)
NTSC Source vertical res: 272 (approx.)
PAL Source vertical res32.: 326 (approx.)
Needed vertical scaling when converting to NTSC/A: 10.43% (approx.)
Needed vertical scaling if sourcing from NTSC: 32.35% (approx.)

Even though you'd still need to resize, the scaling wouldn't be as drastic. If your source image actually *had* 326 scanlines... all the better!

I transfer LDs with a settop - just like capping TV.

Of course I go through and re-edit and re-author the disc afterward, but...

The source for the line about the script rewrite is The Annotated Screenplays, iirc. And certainly SOMEONE rewrote the dialogue (compare the prior scripts).

This came up in another thread and I’m desperate to see this in good quality again. From mielr’s rips of Emmet Otter (I still have to mail that out >_> I salvaged a good quality copy of the actual space part, but I have yet to find the REST of the video in good quality.

An interesting alternate project I’ve thought of, was to create a new version of it, shot for shot (with a little more motion to the extras and the traffic), in CG, with a re-sequenced score. Not quite the same, but a bit of an update. Everything old is new again! (I don’t have any tools to do THIS.)

Hm. I'm downloading (from a friend who got it from Japanese p2p) a Japanese DVD edition of AristoCats (entitled there, Oshare Cat). It's quite obviously 4:3. The Buena Vista bumper is replaced by the blue castle bumper, but I can't see anything else. The title seems (so far at least) to use the English credits. Considering it's recent enough to have the "half ring" logo...

EDIT: More detail...

Video format: NTSC, Fullscreen, Progressive (720x480x23.976/4:3)
Audio: 2.0 English (384 kbps), 2.0 Japanese (384 kbps)
Subtitles: Japanese, English
Title cards/Credits are in English
Menus are in Japanese

Tell me about it. This is the first computer I've owned, where the RAM went bad. The built-in DVD reader went kaput, and the first Linux distro I ran off it didn't really support the video hardware. (The one I'm using now *does*, however.)

Well, you can't really draw blood from a stone. The best you're going to get before ratio correction is 720x480/576 (NTSC/PAL, respectively).

Actually had it done for a few days (my comment about flying in the clip on the 13th was after the edit was complete) but I've barely been out of my apartment since then.

Is it me or did you fix the Tauntaun animation?

That was the only really glaring SFX from the original movie for me.

Ouch.

I guess with my 2-year-old computer and 3 megabit DSL I'm lucky then :/

Anyway - the DVD... I think it's sourced from the same master as the DE/THX discs? but then filtered a bit and compressed a bit more, and those filters didn't exactly help the quality...

Hopefully whoever finished can help seed as I need my bandwidth and can't return to the torrent until after the Emmet Otter one, and I can't upload that until next Tuesday. :/

I'm talking about the Japanese DVDs. Fraxx got a couple off Share p2p and sent 'em to me, and I made OGMs out of 'em. They're gutterboxed, but they're anamorphic and dual audio. This will indeed net you a widescreen Streamline Totoro.

Same thing as windowboxed. Both letterboxed and pillarboxed. Apparently so nothing falls in the overscan.

Depending on the player. (To even be watchable on my PC I have to convert it to 30 fps progressive in realtime. This is why all my AVIs are progressive. But for a TV, it's prolly best to leave it alone, if it's 30 fps interlaced.)

I decided it was best not to re-encode at all. The DVDISO I have prepared contains the exact footage which mielr provided me - just cut together to the best of my ability from the two different sources.

I'm going to burn it off once I can stop the torrent I'm seeding now, and right after that I'll put up this torrent. (And since I coadmin a friend's server, I'm prolly going to use it to give the torrent a little kick.)

I didn't touch the video - I simply flew in the clip. (Didn't want to wreck the quality)

I can try to convert it - I have gotten good 480p from VHS rips, but they were pristine VHS rips... better quality even than the Nick Jr. rips... and...well, it would probably be 30 fps still... pretty sure that video's not a 24 fps source...

Found the cut. For the amount of time that's cut it oughtn't be too noticeable.

I wonder if anyone has the knowhow to recreate that HBO bumper in 480p...

I sure do and I wish I could find a better rip than this:

The even longer version of HBO In Space, with the zoom out the window at the beginning

Only saw THIS variant once, the usual one starts on the street. It's only 15 fps though, BOO.

I also set aside the short HBO in Space
