ape instead of flac? why? also you could try mediafire.com,no wait and fast speeds.
Nice shots guys,some of them really look COOL!
Ady you have a PM.
sorry I always just follow the thread and forget to go back and look at the first post LOL,Thanks.
OK I got the bmp image and copied it into the browser and it does not work,it takes me to a page to upload my own file.
Has anyone here been able to get this CD1?

msycamore, what you said about the RSO version for "Asteroid Field" is true: it already sounds great. So, I've posted a last sample that shows a lot more differences: "The Battle In The Snow". ;)
CD1 is now finished... And have been uploaded. ;)
It may take more time before CD2 to be ready (my ears have requested some rest !).
where has it been uploaded?

Actually, you just need to set the level adjustment to only affect luma, no need ti change colors, then it will look great!
give me an example and I will try it.
I am wanting a straight LD preservation and no color correcting,I want to keep the LD video as much untouched(in the color)as possible,so the above screens suck,I completely took out the levels and tweak from the script to keep it just the way it is,just some clean up,so here is what Leia looks like before and after.
Leia NO levels or tweak adjustment,just the way the LD shows her
now this is what it was before,when I was messing with levels and tweak settings
I made another 19 minute DVD sample of the some Hoth Battle scenes,Yodas Hut scenes,and the Vader\Luke Duel to see how this looks on my HDTV.
probably not,I am still messing with the levels a little bit in avisynth,and it looks to dark especially on the Vader pic in the lower left corner,but that is why this is samples.
Thanks for the input though,I really appreciate it,I will mess with it some more tomorrow.
and a few more,
just please remember I am working with Laserdisc quality,NOT DVD LOL,so fire away the criticism.
*****deleted these to for same reason.
Deleted, no longer my thread.
I did not test all sides for errors but I did a few of them and there are no errors.
I will look into that M,I was pretty busy yesterday but have time today.
DM you have some interesting points there,but why then would anh1.ac3 sync up to anh1.avi but anh2 & 3,and ESB 1-3 all be off,wouldn't ALL sides be off the same together? anh1.av3 was perfect and sounds damn good,this is why it is so frustrating to me.
OK here goes for some answers,
"You're not joining the 3 AC3 files together and trying to sync the whole file that way are you?"
no I am not joining the files first,only doing 1 side at a time,I think if I join them all now and try the whole thing at once it would be that much further out.
"What prog are you using to decode/downmix the AC3?"
I usually use PX3's AC3 to WAV but thought that my be the problem so then I tried BeSweet,and same results with both.
Thanks again for trying to help me sort this out,I will try Vegas and see what happens.
"How are you 'checking' the sync? I'm guessing you're down-mixing the AC3 to a 2-channel wav then using wavsource and audiodub in AviSynth."
actually I do not know how to set up an avisynth script to do what you have there,another thing I did not know avisynth could do LOL,I have just been loading the avi file into VDub and then loading the audio into VDub and using it to find and set delay like I have always done,and yes I have been down converting to wav.
Is it better to check sync with your avisynth method?
This is really getting frustrating,just can't see what the heck is going on with these files,the ONLY file that syncs up almost perfectly is anh1.ac3 with anh LD side1,as for sides 2-3 and ESB sides 1-3,none sync up at all,it is like the audio is just going way to fast or something,just weird.
So how is this coming along Ash? still waiting to see this baby LOL,is there anything else you are still needing?
Thanks a lot Adywan I am definitely interested,next week can't come fast enough LOL,so will this be the unedited DD 5.1 for all 3 movies?
Thanks

With your ears ;)
It should be obvious when played simultaneously, it would sound off-key if the pitch doesn't match.
Hmm, is this the raw ac3 stream? Is LD ac3 48kHz or 44.1kHz? Was it ripped digitally? Did the capper already convert it in some way?
I will give it a listen LOL and see if I hear any difference,and for the other questions,I am not sure I will have to ask him when he is back online,damn this is just soooo frustrating,I have never seen this before in an audio file.
Thanks for checkin in though,I really appreciate it.
satanika said:
Did you compare the pitch of the audio, is it lower/higher?
Have you checked the samplerate (kHz) of all the parts, are they the same?
All files(sides) have the same sample rate of 48,000 Hz
and how do I check the pitch?
So does anyone know for certain if the GKar set,the Look SE set,and the 5 Star Collection are legit LD 5.1 rips?or just crappy upmixes?
Thanks
Yes the audio was ripped by someone else,I do not have the setup to rip the DD 5.1 audio,wish I did,and it is in ac3 format 1 file per side,and the specs for each file is this:
(DialNorm -27,384 kbps,Surround mix -3,Center mix -3)
and I tried as you said,sync it to the raw video and I get the same results,I get it sync'd at the start then it goes way out the further you go into the film,there is no sudden jump,it gradually goes further and further out,by the end of the video file we are talking some serious full seconds out,not ms.
Here are some things I did notice about the file lengths and frame amounts per ac3 file and video file,not sure if this will tell you anything but hopefully it will.
anh1.ac3 - 84460 frames - 45 min 3 sec
anh.avi (video) - 64514 frames - 44 min 51 sec
anh2.ac3 - 107869 frames - 57 min 32 sec
anh2.avi (video) - 83100 frames - 57 mins 47 sec
but 1 thing I looked at for the hell of it was I compared the stereo wav file I made from the ac3 file(for sync'ing) to the wav file my capture created to see how the waves from the audio line up in Audition,and they both look pretty identical,the highs and lows in the waveform almost match up perfectly,again not sure if this helps I am just graspping now to figure this out,although I did not zoom in,maybe should do that.
Thanks for taking a look,there just has to be a way to sync this.
OK So I have officially started my "Take 2" of the 97' Special Edition Star Wars Trilogy,I have ANH SE(3 sides) and ESB SE(3 sides) on my drive right now and have the IVTC patterns done for both and have my avisynth script started,My goal is to try and make them look as good as I can obviously,and to make anamorphic which is something I failed to do(along with the IVTC)on my last set,but I have run into a snag and REALLY would like to get past it something FIERCE,I have the rips of the DD 5.1 audio form these LD's and am trying my damndest to sync them,I got ANH SE side 1 to sync,but side 2 and ESB SE side 1 just go way way out as the video progresses,and I mean WAY out,now I do not know how the heck ANH SE side 1 sync'd so good but I'll be dammed if the other sides are cooperating as nicley,so PLEASE if anyone here has any ideas on how you go about doing this I would really appreciate some tips or pointers.
I will post screens and more info as soon as I figure this out and do some more avisynth testing,right now I have made simple anamorphic,IVTC'd lossless avi files to work on the audio,because to me at least,the DD 5.1 will make this set worth a lot more,like I said,at least to me.
Thanks for any and all help in this
!!!!! 1 more thing,the person or persons that can help me get past this so I can move on,will get ALL 3 of these sent to them through the mail once I have them finished,so you won't have to wait to download,and I don't give a shit where you live,inside or outside the US is fine,you WILL get them.
I like a lot of those beauties you have listed plus Lindsay Wagner(The Bionic Woman) and I totally loved this lady when I was younger,
The very sexy in her time Bo Derek!
Damn and let's not forget this Beauty
and really how can anyone forget her
OOPS wrong one LOL,I mean this one
Thank you very very much again,but it looks like I will just have to buy it for the $289 from Amazon you posted a few posts back,I really want to be able to switch back and forth,and the Pro version is an upgrade,I want the full.
again Thanks for helping me clear this all up.
I also just found out earlier my oldest boy is running Win7 Pro 64bit and he has the same powerhouse PC I do and he already has all the 64bit drivers I will need,now I just hope ALL my programs I use will run OK.
He also has 8 gigs RAM and he said his programs fly,so I can't wait to give it a whirl.
Not really sure I understand the disclaimer,are you ordering a download or the actual package? also I thought both 32 & 64 bit were together,if not now I have to decide which I want,shoot I wanted to try 64 but if had problems switch to 32.
wish you had a screenshot for the next screen after clicking "Need to join your Schools network domain" so I can give these instructions to the lady that will be getting this for me,so there won't be no chance of a screw up LOL.
I really appreciate all the help you are giving me to Ghost,Thanks a lot.
Also was wondering,if she did not actually want to order it could she give me here email and I go through the process and order it for her for me.
OK after doing more reading it is a download and make your own iso,but would it be in her name?
Still a little confused,can this student discount be used to purchase at the school,or is it online only? I see that our school is listed and I know a few people that go and are not interested in Win7 Pro,so I might have a shot at this.
Link worked for me.
