Hey, 

I just finished the voiceover recordings (finally!). I'm now going to go through them, edit out the bad takes, possibly re-record any parts I felt could be better and send them your way. 

BTW: did you ever finish script 6 - the one about the sound? My copy is empty...

 I was going to write Script 6, unless hairy_hen came forward with anything?

Interested - what site (obviously without posting a link to the torrent)?

I just found out, and thought some may be interested to hear, that the Demonoid site is back online.

Encoding MPEG-2 for DVD - obviously quality will vary depending on the compressibility of the source (noisy/grainy sources, or content with lots of action/motion, do not compress so well).

For optimum quality I would use CCE to do a multi-pass VBR encode, an average of 3000kbps would be an absolute minimum, above 4000kbps would be preferred.

How long is each episode? If you decide to fit 2-3 episodes onto a DVD5 then, taking into account size of audio & menus, try and fill the DVD5 to as close to capacity as you can.

Steady. Some people don't like having homosexuality forced on them.

And yes, I did wonder whether that username would cause offence, but decided to let it stay on this occasion.

Solution 2:

You've got to give us more information if you want any help. Did you follow the instructions exactly as shown? Did you get any error messages? Any other information that might be relevant?

Try again, and follow the instructions: make sure you've extracted the video in Step 1, and have selected the .h264 file as an input in Step 2.

Wonder if the "Ukrainian Internet Party" is responsible for all that bloody forum spam we get from that country?

(For those interested: the vast majority of spam posts on internet forums comes from China, but a significant number also come from Canada, Ukraine, France and the USA.)

My go-to solution for field-blended sources is the Avisynth script Srestore(). I've found it to work quite well, YMMV with different sources.

An alternative option is AnimeIVTC().

If the source videos are interlaced, have you tried unfolding the fields?  The animation itself was done at 12 frames per second so, even with field blending, you should be able to get at least one field that is clean for each frame of animation.  If your source videos are no longer interlaced, this won't work, though.

It's the same for the PAL conversions of the Ewoks cartoons; however you will probably find that even if the animation is 12fps, camera pans and zooms are at 24fps  - and therefore there are no "clean" versions of certain frames to restore.

That is an old version; last time I posted something I used an updated version called CamelSystem Powerpost.

And sorry, NZB links are not allowed to be posted here. You could just tell people what to search for at binsearch.info.

OK just seen your edit, at that upload speed it should take you around 5 hours to upload a BD25.

Definitely sounds like there's a problem if it's taking 24hr+.

Yes, you need to be careful with data rate units because they can be confusing (a capital B and a lowercase b mean different things).

For example, at home I have a download speed of 30 Mbps and an upload of 3 Mbps.

That's equivalent to about 3.6 MB/s or 0.4 MB/s (some pedant will probably now chime in to say that should be in MiB/s!)

So a single layer DVDR would take me 20 minutes to download, or 3.5 hours to upload.

This might be stating the obvious, but most ISPs give you an upload speed that is much lower than their advertised download speed.

Do you know your actual upload speed? And how much data did you post? You can work out how long you should expect the posting to take, assuming that your connection is maxed out, then if it is significantly less you can investigate why and whether or not alternative software would help.

I should probably tone it down a bit. I should have realised that British mates-down-the-pub style humour can come across as bad taste sometimes.

For example, all these people telling jokes about the missing Malaysia Airlines flight. That's just plane wrong.

Had a Star Wars marathon last night.

I turned on the TV and they were showing Attack of the Clones.

So I decided to go for a 26-mile run instead.

Those of a certain age may remember the fiendishly addictive late 80s game 'Stunt Car Racer' on the Amiga (And other platforms).

I must be of a certain age then, because I remember it well. I managed to beat the first set of tracks on the Amiga, it then repeats the same tracks but with blue colouring and a faster car. I found it impossible to progress from there, if you drove fast enough to beat your opponent you'd end up wrecking the car, and if you drove carefully to avoid damage you would always lose. 

The game became even more fun when you had two Amigas, a null modem cable and a group of friends.

Editing the title in your first post will change the thread title.

This has been discussed several times before, and generally it's not possible or very difficult to do convincingly.

Try reading this thread for starters:

Thanks for your feedback.

Regarding the MB, a Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 is actually about £10 cheaper than the MSI board - I went with MSI because of issues I've had with Gigabyte's support in the past (availability of driver updates, etc.). But this current PC uses a Gigabyte board and it's performed OK.

The SSD had read/write speeds of 440 MB/s and 140 MB/s respectively. There's a faster version which is up to 550MB/s and 510MB/s for an extra £10 - maybe I'll swap the MB for the Gigabyte model and get the faster SSD instead.

Planning to run Windows 7 64-bit.

What kind of scratches? I've found that the DeScratch plugin for Avisynth is quite effective on long thin vertical film sctraches.

Can you post some examples, or even better a short video sample?

No, not here.
