are the SkyHD broadcasts the German versions? if so I have all of them,and if they are the hv versions I have all of them as well.

Looks like some fuckwit has tried jiggery-pokery on the IFO files, perhaps trying to fool his player.
Didn't boon do this in NTSC,and he is famous for that tricking the player shit instead of a true conversion.
Walmart has Freddy vs Jason and Midnight Movie Blu-ray for $10 each,and Best Buy has the Iron Man 2 Disc Blu-ray on sale until Saturday for $19.99
OK Mielr v2's are done and burned and you will like where the layer-break is on these,it is in the same place as the retail,well at least IfoEdit shows it to be identical to the retail.
now on to the Blu projects again,finally can put this project to bed.
I just put my copy in and checked all parts at various spots and it seems pretty good to me.
Well I just ripped the 1985 ESB Theatrical stereo mix from my project years ago,but how in the hell do you sync these to the DVD,it starts out good but it drifts big time all the way to the end,does anyone know how belbecus did these? and did he already sync ESB by any chance? if not I will need to know how to do this so I can add it to the version 2 GOUT DVD's project,which are all encoded now and ready to mux and go.
The Wizard of Oz is coming,and coming soon.
Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back lossless avi's are done,just need Jedi,and I finished Empire Strikes Back Blu-ray already,just doing these before I get back to Blu.

OK I am testing ESB right now,it has NO color correcting,I left it as is,and it has DD 5.1,DD 2.0 and DD 2.0 commentary from the DVD,also the chapter stops are same as the DVD,it weigh's in at 21.3 GB's,no menu(don't know how)so far it looks and sounds good.
I used Sonic CineVision for the encoding at 22mb's avg.
Does anyone know what software you use to erase\format these BD-RE's?
Well if that is what it is,I have them on my set already.
I am going to let it be,because like I said above,there were still some scenes which I did not post screens to which looked really really bad,so I am going to leave them alone,I am synching the DVD audio right now and going to encode tonight,the lossless avi is finished,so I should be able to burn ESB to test tomorrow sometime.
I added that mix to them already,but what is the 35mm? I could add that to if I had it.
you have 2 what to give out,actual accounts,if so I am interested for sure LOL.
Yep this screen(source)does look better.
But truth be told,I still like Ady's Wampa better,I wish I had a good pic of that for a new avatar.
adywan said:Shot 1: Has a red tint in the high levels
Shot 2: looks very washed out. No colouring in the face and mouth and the contrast levels seem way off
Shot 3: Doesn't look too bad but the reds are washed out and there does look to be some issues with the levels
Shot 4: has a green tint to it
Shot 5: Again has a red/ pink tint in the high level areas and looks too desaturated
Shot 6: Looks ok, maybe boost the saturation levels very slightly
Shot 7: looks pretty good :)
Shot 8: Gamma levels way to high. Dark areas are just a wash with noise
Shot 9: Not too bad but a little too washed out again and contrast levels need tweaking
Shot 9: Again has a pink tint and the blues are a little too shifted towards cyan
Shot 10: Too much blue has been removed. It's too monochromatic with a slight green shift.
Shot 11: Looks almost sepia, but i know just how bad some of these cockpit shots are with the colouring to begin with
What method are you using for the colour correction? One thing i found out about these movies is just how much the colour pallet changes from shot to shot. For instance just looks at the shot of 3PO in the command centre as it gets hit and the thing explodes behind him. The whole shot is green. Whoever did the colouring on the official transfers really must be colour blind. lol
To be honost and please do not take this the wrong way Ady,I expected you not to like any of it,which is fine,I will not do scene by scene like you do,to damn much work,it is very nice that you have the patience and time to dedicate to all this stuff but I do not,when it starts feeling like a job and not a hobby I am done with it,I no longer enjoy it,so with all the scenes differing in degrees of good and bad,I believe I might just not mess with it and leave it alone,flaws and all.
all I really wanted to do is take the blue tint out,but then it grew into more,and now it looks like it HAS to be a scene by scene or none at all.
plus there were some scenes that looked really,really bad,I did not post screens of them,but definitely NOT what I would want on my BD25.
@DVD-BOY do you have some screens of your color correcting?
Are these screens any better? and if not which screen\screens are not and why.
Thanks again for looking
Mielr said:Those who have been denigrating this project (who shall remain nameless) are really missing out. Too bad for them.
That is why I might not even upload these,but Mielr,you have nothing to worry about,you will get copies ASAP when finished.
You are right it is a 1 pass through deal,I have NO patience for a scene by scene fix,so I am looking for something that is at least "better" than the source,if not,then I will just do it for my own personal tastes for myself,or I will do an untouched version.
So if taking a little of the red out as you say fixes(or at least makes the other scenes look better) but the Dagobah scene hinders a bit,well I can live with most scenes looking a little better than a few,but as I said,just trying to make it overall better than the source.
1 more thing,my Pioneer BDR-203 is finally installed! now just need some Blu-ray rewritable discs to start doing some testing.
Here are some screens,and be ready for a screen shot blitz LOL,I wanted to grab screens from all over the entire film,so take a look and please give me some feedback,unless you guys think we should just leave it alone and encode the video untouched,well here goes.
also pretty certain you can tell which is source and which is not.
Any screens of captured video yet or are you still building?
This thread is starting to get buried,is this dead or still happening?
Just wanted to let everyone know I am still working on this,been messing with the color again,will have some screen for you to look at soon,I need feedback,whether good or bad.
Thanks
budwhite said:dark_jedi said:So has anyone watched these yet?
We would love to know what you think of them.
Watched a bit of empire today. This is almost real DVD quality on my 32" tube. I have seen anamorphics dvds from the 70s that dont match this image. I guess it doesn't look as good on a 52" plasma but... hey, this is a big upgrade to what I've seen before
I think they look pretty damn good on my 65" HDTV being upconverted,well good enough for now anyways.
Also wanted to let you guys know that are still following this thread that I will be rendering out the lossless avi's this weekend for encoding new versions,the only difference between this new set and the last is version 2 will have the ESB "magic tree" fix and I moved the subs up into the bottom portion of the movie for Star Wars and Return of The Jedi.
over and out
