Song Of The South - many projects, much info & discussion thread (Released)

"As yet there does not seem to be an NTSC conversion from Mentor's TV cap. If by the time I get it from RapidShare no one has done it, I will definitely undertake the project, have no fear."

I cant wait to see this,Rowman and myself tried it,and it has some goofy shit going on,like I said,If it is the same file we have,I cant wait to see your conversion.

NON-Star Wars Fan Edit and Alternate DVD Covers SHOWCASE
Time
you know what,so we have the aspect ratios wrong,if it bothers you people, correct the covers to match yourselves,my opinion on this is,I really dont give a rats ass! so we will take a closer look into that in the future releases,but I WONT have Cassidy fix all the artwork,so we made mistakes noone is perfect,and I cant believe I come back after all this damn encodeing on shit that is NOT even released to find bickering on friggin artwork,you know,this is still new to me,I am still learning as I go,I am learning how to do .h264 hd streams now and releasing my first PAL & NTSC project.

so in closing Cassidy dont worry about it,I am NOT
but we will pay closer attention to it in the future

Howard The Duck - special edition (Released)
Time
OK I think I figured something out,the first 4 seconds of this file has no image or sound,so I just figured what if I took off about 4-5 seconds and then save,so I did,and wallah,now I am able to open the file up,so I will start encoding tonight,so in short,I think there was something screwy in the very beginning of this file that was NOT letting avisynth and cce open this correctly,and giving errors.
thanks again to everyone,and I hope this encodes OK,then on to the NTSC version,I will do the PAL first.

also thanks alot slark for the chapters and scans,very nice,this will ALL be excellent in the dvd-rom folder,IF I ever can get this damn thing encoded,but at least I got Night of the Comet encoded overnight.

thanks M, if I cant get this to work I will try that method,but this worked on the samples,but just cant figure out why not on the friggin movie.

CW I used the 1 of the versions you posted,this is what I used on the PAL sample that I did,and worked great,but when I change the script to the whole movie instead of the clip,then it wont load,and after a few minutes I get errors.
here is what I used:
directshowsource("C:\Duck HD.ts", fps=25, convertfps=true)
Crop(0,0,0,-8)
lanczos4resize(720,576)
ConverttoYUY2

@ CW

well I just hit another snag,when I ran all those tests on the 4 1\2 minute clip all was fine,I did a PAL and NTSC version,and the audio was synched pretty good,but when I deleted all the samples and erased those lines form the avisynth script,and put in the line to the WHOLE file,now it wont open,its giving me crop errors,and size of video is already small,or something like that,so I wont be doing any encoding tonight,DAMN!

I just want to thank the 3 people to look at these clips,Slark,DarthBoMan,and my friend Cassidy,your input is greatly appreciated

I have another question though,does anyone have from either laserdisc or something of where the chapter stops should be on this,or should I just guess?
also if anyone has some nice wallpapers or anything that would be good for the dvd-rom folder,please let me know,I would like to add some cool goodies.

Plus I think I am ready to start doing the DVD's now,I have deleted ALL test clips and samples,and have finalised my avi scripts,so stay tuned for anyone that is interested.

"I have From Beyond and am willing to PiF, but my rule of thumb is that if I give someone a disc, they have to publically offer it out to at least one more person, that way the chain gets started."

also I would like to add 1 more thing to Cassidy's comment,please if you get them and watch,give us some feedback,good,bad,or other on how it is.

I promise after Night of the Comet gets done and Howard,I will take a break and get these out there for all.

yes it will get upped soon,I just need to stop starting new projects so soon after the other,I am still working on Howard,and now started Night of the Comet,so I keep getting myself behind,so if you get any of these from Cassidy,please if you can torrent or up to RS go for it,it would really help me out,I have ALL these projects just sitting on my 2nd drive and not being seen.

OK I have some samples I wouldnt mind if some of you guys would check out before I go nuts encoding the whole thing,so if interested,the PAL version sample is up on RS now,the NTSC version is being uploaded right now,so links available soon for that version,now keep in mind,this is ONLY a 2 pass CCE encode,I will have it much higher on the final,but my main concern is A\V synch,I think I got it,but after looking at it so much,I think I might just WANT to have it,so I need more eyes LOL.
I dont think I can post links in the open,so just PM me and I will give you the links,the files are roughly 215 meg VOB samples.
thanks to CW for all his help
DJ

UPDATE - The NTSC version is upped now too,so I can give you either links or both,I would like both checked,thanks.
(BOTH files are 16:9 Anamorphic Widescreen and in DD 2.0)

"DJ: what problems are you having with the h.264 codec?"

I cant convert this damn h264 file into something that avisynth and cce can work with properly,it is entirely different than the normal .ts HD files,so if you have any ideas,fire away.

someone mentioned to use ConverXtoDVD,well for shits and giggles I tried it on a sample clip,the video actually didnt look to bad,but the sound was way out of whack,but i would prefer to use the avisynth method I used on ALL my other HD2DVD projects,because I like the better control you have,plus I want to do a NTSC and PAL version.

so like I said,if any one has any ideas,let them fly,because I am not going to spend months on trying to figure this out,I came close to deleting everything a couple of times already LOL
