I bought one specifically for this purpose.  These may be the only Blu Rays I ever burn, and it would still have been worth every penny.

 

You don't need a Blu-ray player to burn AVCHD DVD9 discs.  They are just dual layer DVDs that more or less use the same video streams as a Blu-ray (to oversimplify it).

He was talking about burning the made-for-BD version, the two people above him were talking about not being able to burn it. We're on the CatBus now motherfucker, and you don't get off until it gets you off, and I love it.

How Stinky knows my family motto is a complete mystery.  Aunt Marge?  Is that you?

Actually I plan on burning the MKV to Blu Ray.  It will be better quality than the AVCHD, and for you video snobs in the room, AVCHDs need to rotate much faster than Blu Rays which makes them relatively noisy even on normally quiet players.

Why wouldn't you just wait for the BD version he's making with menus and shit?

And how many times do I have to repeat that I absolutely cannot do torrents...?

The exact number of times until you hit a point when you sound like you've got the Dark Jedi Dickhead Flu, I'd guess. At that point no one has a pleasant experience. The number is yours to determine though.

Making our own 35mm preservation--my crazy proposal

i personally don't care

either way, but i do

like this structure for posting.

it makes everything seem

more like poetry. Like now

this post is lost in

the whispering wind which

is very poetic but i do think

it's an OCD thing and not a style

choice. like that pyschopath that used

to always post in caps.

 

later,

Hay Harmy, on the BD will the DTSHDMA (I'm assuming this is the lossless codec you're using for audio) also have a lossy DTS core? I know nothing about the technical side of these things, or if that DTS core is automatically included in every DTSMA track (as it is with standard retail BD releases) but I was just wondering if it would automatically strip out the DTS lossy track from the lossless when that's selected and send it out optical if I choose to watch it with that setup. My 5.1 system and receiver isn't hooked up right now (not enough space) so I can't decode lossless at the moment, I am using a soundbar that accepts standard DTS, though.

I can vouch for the accuracy of Harmy's references, for sure, and I can also empathize with people's occasionally quizzical reactions to the color timing.  Decades of transfers and inherent expectations "coloring" our perceptions make for a lot of comments like, "Wow...really?" when seeing how it actually was in '77, but...   !

Looking at it again in comparison to a picture someone took of the Senator Technicolor print Harmy's version does look way closer to how it originally appeared. It just seemed odd at first glance, but how it should actually look isn't necessarily how you'd think it should look after becoming so used to the GOUT timing, I guess.

 

GOUT vs Senator Technicolor color timing

JUST HEARING THE WORD SKINTONE MAKES MY OWN FUCKING SKIN CRAWL!!!

 

Mission accomplished!

 

Now that this is nearing completion I will sit here on my ass and wait for your version designed specifically for Blu-Ray. If you decide not to make one I'll just stare you down and scream "skintone" over and over again. It will be a Knights Who Say Ni scenario Harmy.

Wouldn't be as good though. If he made it straight for a  BD25 with MPEG4 AVC and whatever lossless audio codec he chooses, with a menu and everything, that would be ideal. You could just DL it, toss it on a BD, and play it straight away... no having to mess around with anything. I'm super lazy.

If you did this Harmy and you don't have a BD burner yourself I'd make you a copy and ship it to you for free. That would be fantastic.

Wow, that does look impressive.

How does it compare to a hardware solution? Had you started with the same data would your scripts still pump out something noticeably better than it would've looked after one of the higher-end chips in something a consumer would buy got done with it? Like the Qdeo or Anchor Bay chips in the Oppo BD players?
