You'll probably find that it's not as simple as it sounds - although it's not especially difficult, the process of syncing the audio can be time consuming.

This thread should help.

This thread can continue as a general discussion of the HD source. No-one is distributing any DVDs here.

I've removed the posts stating where the HDTV version can be obtained from.

Load your TS files into DGIndex. Make sure the PIDs are set correctly. Save the D2V project and demux the audio.

Write an AVISynth script to perform IVTC, crop and resize to DVD resolution. Here is an example:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\DGDecode.dll")
MPEG2Source("blade.runner.1080i.dd5.1.oar.0006.d2v")
doubleweave()
pulldown(0,3)
crop(0,142,-0,-150)
spline36Resize(720, 354)
addborders(0,63,0,63)

(Obviously you will have to adjust the values for your particular source).

Now encode as normal.

You might find issues with your audio going out of sync. I think the only option if this is the case is to adjust the delay value in your authoring package manually.

Don't use the "Data Disc" option in Nero, there's a chance that the disc may not play on all players.

Use DVD Decrypter to rip an ISO, then burn that (you can use DVD Decrypter to burn as well).

It's been said before, but if the Star Wars trilogy had received the same treatment as the Indiana Jones trilogy, there wouldn't have been many complaints.

Time: 5-Jun-2006 4:36 AM

I've never used Premiere, but there have been a few discussions on here about this before. Your options are:

1. Load your M2V into VirtualDubMod/VirtualDubMPEG-2 and save out an AVI using huffyuv (lossless) compression, then edit that AVI. Need a lot of hard disk space.

2. Get AVISynth, DGMPGDec package and the AVISynth Premier plugin. Free software but some people have had problems with this method.

3. Buy the Mainconcept MPEG plugin for Premiere.

Look back through the previous threads for more info.

Try another VCR, or clean the heads (properly - not with a head cleaning tape) of your current VCR.

I've noticed sometimes if the VCR has problems reading the hi-fi track, it will drop out to the linear audio track. This is probably what's causing the volume changes.

It wasn't exactly popular at Demonoid. The torrent died after just 2 days.

I don't have a simple answer, but I can think of one possible method that might work.

The free DVDAuthorGUI includes a small command line program called mplex.exe. As far as I can tell, this is used to multiplex video and audio streams into an MPG program stream before the disc is authored. The MPG file is only temporary, and is deleted on completion of the authoring.

Apparently mplex comes from the MJPEG tools project, however I can't find much guidance on how to actually use it and what command line switches it takes.

However, you might be able to do it like this: start DVDAuthorGUI, select your MPEG video and AC3 audio, add your second AC3 track, start the authoring. If you can stop the process after the muxing stage, you might be able to retrieve the muxed MPG file.

I enjoy the humour and clever editing in these recut trailers. So I've now seen this trailer for Titanic 2 featuring a thawed out Jack Dawson, also trailers for a comedy called The Shining, and the gay love story Brokeback to the Future.

What others are there?

I don't want to speculate on what will happen in September.

The source for this audio capture was PAL, and suffered from the 4% pitch increase caused by PAL speedup. I am used to the correct pitch from watching my 1995 PAL VHS tapes (pitch corrected) and Dr Gonzo's DVDs. When I dug out this PAL recording I immediately noticed the pitch increase, and found it distracting. Personally I wouldn't choose to watch Star Wars this way.

Pitch correction attempts by Citizen, using PC audio editing software, apparently did not give good results. I have a lead on a method that might give better results, but have not tried it yet.

Playing it back at NTSC speed cancels out the speedup and restores the correct pitch. If - and I stress this is just speculation - the new PAL OOT DVDs are made from same masters as the French laserdiscs, then they will be a good starting point for making anamorphic NTSC DVDs. I can easily play NTSC format DVDs, as can most people who live in PAL countries. This would seem to be my preferred option at the moment.

I don't know much about audio restoration, but I do know that the finished audio will have all the gaps patched, be richer in high frequency content, and most likely have some additional equalization and other processing applied just to get it to sound "right".

The guy doing the restoration knows his stuff. He used to do subcontract work for THX.

Russ/Starkiller: in addition, if you're feeling really industrious, you might want to replace all the samples from the telecine bootleg with samples taken from the audio file I posted in another thread a few days ago: http://www.filefactory.com/?dc2f6a.
The audio quality is a bit better, there's not so much background hiss.

Someone put some DivX rips from the Cowclops V2 DVDs up on Demonoid about 3 months ago. They still seem to be well seeded.
