Is it stlil possible to send in Verbatim dl layer discs to get this set when released?

PM sent.

Colors are from the last tweak I did that I will say most liked, but I need more feedback on the subs, it is kind of equal right now on who likes and dislikes, like I said, I kind of like the cleaner look, but I am in total agreement on you statement CA and I know why msycamore did them that way, so maybe just so I can get this new video rendered and move on I should just go with it.

ALSO, please comment on these subs, whether you want msycamores latest tweak or the nicer crisper ones.

Says it all doesn't it? ; )

Well I think with the new subs he was trying to dirty them up a bit so they weren't all shiny and pretty, I will see what msyacmore says, I could be wrong.

*edit - Truth be told though, I kind of like the nicer crisper ones myself.

I used the latest tweak version because that seems to be the preferred version now, I am about to make something final right now, I am tired of trying all these tweaks now and want to get this(Star Wars) done and move on to ESB, so people speak up now or I will decide, but I want you guys to decide.

ALSO, please comment on these subs, whether you want msycamores latest tweak or the nicer crisper ones.

Here is a sample of msycamores latest sub tweaks, with the latest GOUT tweaks, and with the 85 PCM for audio.

My tolerance in synching these by ear was in the neighborhood of 10 samples

And your point is what exactly? I am doing the sync the way Ady showed me, just pointing out that his was NOT perfect either, like some here claim.

OK ALL new PCM files for Star Wars are now finally FINISHED, I found the spot in belbecus's 77 Theatrical & Mono as well as the 93 file where it went out and then it was out through the entire movie and I corrected it, also now there is NO delay needed for these new PCM files, so now I am on to trying out msycamores's new subs, I will post samples of it soon.

I was just wondering Dark_Jedi did you capture the ESB (1980)/ROTJ (1983) Theatrical 2.0 Surround audio yourself?

Yes.

Thanks msycamore, I will add the new version into the script tomorrow and post samples for all to see.

These don't necessarily have to be synched to absolute perfection.  When I was doing the 70mm mix I found that Belbucus' files tended to be off by anywhere from 10 to 52 samples from each other.  This is a very impressively small margin of error, certainly not even remotely noticeable--the largest discrepancy is only just over a millisecond, certainly far less than one frame.  Trust me, nobody's going to notice that at all.  If they're going off by large amounts, then something is seriously wrong, because the work on those is all done already.

Well SHIT, I wish I would have known that, when Ady was telling me how to do this I was actually trying to get ALL to line up perfectly LOL, now you know why i was getting SO bored of this, damn I should be able to just breeze right through what I have left then, I am sure mine are not 100% either but damnit I really tried.

msycamore said:

Sounds very strange that your audiofiles are not in sync, d_j. Belbucus synced those tracks specifically to the NTSC GOUT-discs, my files sync up perfectly.

Just so you know, I'll update my Greedo sub-script very soon, which means, additional blur and a couple of fine adjustments to make them look closer to the theatrical ones, then I'm finally done with these.

rip your DD 2.0 file from the GOUT and convert to wav and load it in Vegas, then select Belebcus wav and zoom in on the time line, it is not in complete 100% sync, I thought this to but I have checked every different file I have in it does to drift a wee bit, if I feel like it tomorrow for all you doubters LOL I will post Vegas screen grabs on a zoomed in part and you will see they do not line up, if I knew it did not have to be that close I could have been done with these damn audio files a long time ago, but these will be pretty easy to fix, they are not no where near as bad as the LD rips.

I am looking forward to your new and improved subs, so do you think these will be better than the ones you have now? the ones now look friggin SWEET!

ps. if everyone thinks it is good then I will leave the Belbecus files alone, but after seeing what I saw, it is driving me crazy now, not sure if I am going to tweak them a bit or not now, I just hope you guys look for yourselves.

Well I zoom way in on the audio files like Ady said to when sync'ing these babies and it goes out a little, I am trying to find the DVD's with the files on them and am going to try new files just to make sure.

but the DC48 file is the 93 SW file right, and there are 2 versions, because I think I was told I should use the newer one.

LOL, I actually just found the DVD's you(ChainsawAsh) sent a long time ago.

OK I have a few questions, first is the latest tweak what you guys want? if there is anything else you want me to try speak it now, second is audio related, so here goes, I have the 1985 Home Video Stereo Remix from the JSC LD all in sync, so since I am getting close to actually authoring this DVD(Gout V3 SW) up I decided to double check the sync on the other PCM files that are "supposedly" already done, and guess what, they are NOT! so help me out here, the DC48 file is the 1993 right, and there are 2 versions of this file, both drift from about the middle on, and I just checked the 1977 theatrical and it goes out as well, shit and I thought these were already in sync, maybe I just need to re download or something, were all these the files that were on the newsgroups quit a while back? crap if I have to do these now to this will SUCK!

There is also a remake of Conan coming out I believe this summer, I really don't know how this is going to be, Arnold's Conan The Barbarian was GREAT!

This is on my list of PAL DVD's to convert to NTSC, movie only though, I don't want or need the different languages and subtitles, is this movie any good? I have not seen it yet.

Actually, I have not touched any of the levels g-force has set, just messing with other tweaks.

rogueOne said:

Watched both clips.  I prefer the video inside "Test Accepted Tweaks.rar".  If I read your post correctly, DJ, that video clip comes from the "1159" tweak.  The "test.rar" looked too red.  My opinion remains the same, "1159" is the way to go.

You are correct, the "accepted tweak" is all them sample screens LOL.

MattMahdi said:

In this era of HD, NTSC v. PAL isn't an issue anymore -- right?

But you still have region locked BD's, region A, B and C.

I am going to try something different, here I tried to get a middle ground between the two tweaks in question, this is an encode,

I will encode the other tweak that most were happy with here,

g-force said:

Hmm. Don't forget that when you mess with the brightness/contrast/gamma, all of the mattes get really annoying. Took me months to get those right.

-G

What scene would you say this would show the most, because I certainly do NOT want to mess up any of the hard work you put into this.

For the record I am actually leaning more towards the 1159(which is the latest tweak) myself.

dark_jedi said:

that is why it is a very nice thing g-force did by posting his scripts on the first page of his thread, if people are dead set against it, there is always the option to do it yourself, but like I said, I am not final yet, but getting close.

yeah after you went and synced up all the audio.....

Not following you, what are you getting at with that statement?

I actually have Terminator 2 Premium Edition SteelBook coming from Japan, should be here soon.

corellian77 said:

Do you recall what exactly you changed between the two d_j?  Which one are you (and others, for that matter) leaning toward?

If you kept the settings from the first pic, I'd favour the tweak.  If, however, you were to go with the settings from the second pic, I'd have to say I favour the untouched V3.

EDIT: After looking at the shots again, I'm really starting to think maybe just leaving the colours as is would be the safest approach.  I dunno... I guess I should just add my voice to the chorus that's saying "use your best judgement."

For the first question I took the contrast out and did a different approach, and yes I remember(I hope) what I did in that pic, I keep trying new things.

and for the next question, I am going to go with the majority here, so if they like it with the current tweak, that is what it will be, but I am not 100% done messing with this yet, that is why it is a very nice thing g-force did by posting his scripts on the first page of his thread, if people are dead set against it, there is always the option to do it yourself, but like I said, I am not final yet, but getting close.

LexX said:

Btw, do TESB and ROTJ need any color tweaking?

I am pretty sure they do, but we will see when we get to them, I want to do 1 film at a time, I made this mistake before doing to many projects at once and getting a bunch of files mixed up and misplaced.
