Moth3r

Very interesting documents. It sounds like, in theatres, the surround channels are played back through a crossover, the bottom end is sent to the subwoofer, with the low-pass filter set at 80Hz.

If you apply a similar filter in software, you should get the LFE channel (DTS call it the subwoofer channel). Technically, you'd also get any surround channel information under 80Hz included in this audio. I don't think this is too much of a concern, but you could improve the separation if you treated the surround channels as a stereo track and applied a non-centered audio removal filter (basically the opposite to a karaoke voice removal filter) before running it though the low-pass filter.

I know the chances of anyone else interested in this are slim to none but any chance of getting the DTS track from Evita?

According to IMDd Evita only had a Dolby Digital sound mix. If this is accurate then there won't be any theater discs floating around on eBay.

That report was posted here a while back, and yes it is likely to be just another bootleg that museum is selling.

Roger Rabbit had a couple digital alterations on DVD. When Baby Herman walks under the script girl's skirt, you used to see him sticking up his middle finger between her legs. Also, when Jessica gets thrown out of the cab, you could see up her skirt and it looked as if she wasn't wearing underwear. The uncensored version deserves a good preservation. 

I think the UK PAL laserdisc is the censored version - the uncensored version was on an earlier US NTSC release. Interestingly, when it was broadcast on UK TV it was uncensored.

IVTC instead of deinterlacing.

Is this script designed specifically for Star Wars or does it have a more general application?

In other words, would you like this thread moving to the Technical Discussion forum?

v2.0 was released as a ~14GB MKV.

If you're interested, when I was playing with the speeder shot a while back this was the result (AVC video only in MP4): http://www.sendspace.com/file/2gvxqv

Yes....I believe the LFE for DTS audio is supposed to be extracted from the rears.

Why do you believe this? Are there specs somewhere you've read (and remember that, AFAIK, theater DTS has totally different specs to home DTS).

While a low-pass filter would give you a LFE track, I have a feeling that there's more to it than that.

If the LFE track is matrix-encoded into the rears, similar to how a Dolby Surround track contains a surround channel matrix-encoded into the front channels, then you would need to run the audio through a theater DTS decoder to extract the intended LFE.

Americans,

Why do all your phone numbers start with 555?

(Actually, I know the answer - it was explained in The Last Action Hero.)

I have some awesome news......

I NOW have the PCM audio for Ep. III.  At this point I do not have permission from my partner to go into detail but we've been working in tandem quietly so that this project could happen or fail without too much pressure. 

He gets ALL the credit for the work as he figured it out ..... I just supplied the source material and miscellaneous stuff for him to work with.

Certainly an early X-mas present.

:)

Congratulations! Well done both of you.

In before the spam.

For anyone interested, I noticed today that a 20th anniversary cinematic re-release of this is now playing in UK cinemas.

According to this however, the missing song has not been restored. 

Watch it with the image-only posts - you need to read the announcement entitled How Not To Get Banned.

You've already been warned once before so consider yourself lucky - I must be in a festive mood otherwise you would be serving out a temporary ban right now. 

Try IsoPuzzle. Some sectors may be readable on one drive but not the other, and vice versa. If you're lucky you may be able to recover the full disc image.

I thought your "negative1" account was no longer in use?

Wrong thread.

The fan-made "filmumentaries" by Jambe Davdar are must-sees, IMHO.

OK, it's time for a little forum housekeeping.

The rule is strictly one account per user. This means no user may have more than one account ("sock puppets") and also that multiple users may not share a single account.

@negative1: I'm assuming from the formatting of the above post, and some of the account IP addresses, that you posted from the "team_negative1" account. Please do not do this again.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Except for the audio, did you ever digitize your recording Moth3r?

I did capture the video once only to assist with synching the audio. I deleted the capture afterwards (it was only half-resolution and had been compressed with Xvid on-the-fly, so not high quality).

You should not need to deinterlace - I think you can just swap the field order. See this post.

Workaround: remove the leading "www." from the links, and they will work in the new software. 

I banned tb1971 in 2009 after suspecting he was selling bootlegs. He complained to Jay, and the ban was lifted as there was no clear evidence that he was the seller at that time.

After following the development of this thread, I think the case is clear. This is not the type of member we want on this site.
