Editing headers on ts/m2ts files (error with tsmuxer/videoredo)
Time

I seem to have a problem with all of my recorded files created with my Hauppauge 1212.
After recording, I edit using VideoReDo and then use MultiAVCHD to author a disc. All files that are authored come out with a jump at the beginning, with the files themselves seemingly losing 3 frames.

Now, the odd thing is that the files are still ok. If I wanted to re-encode all of them, I could and the problem would disappear so it's not as if something has been re-encoded or cut. It's a playback issue and it only happens after the editing from VRD. For example, if I took the raw file from the Hauppauge and authored that, it wouldn't be a problem.

However, I'd rather figure out what TSmuxer (by way of Multiavchd) is doing to the files. For some reason, whenever it gets a hold of them to change from ts to M2TS (or even just from .ts to .ts), they come out with this problem.

After asking people about this issue on videohelp, I was told that smartcutters sometimes screw around with the information in the header and that is most likely causing this problem. Does anyone have any experience with this type of issue or know how I could correct the header so that I don't have to re-encode all of my files?

To me, for bonus features, like making ofs, VHS quality is good enough. Unless there are scenes in it that are not in the movies, and can be put back in the movie for alternate editions.


Then don't bother downloading it. It's that simple.

And make sure you don't come back into this thread to a) look for updates or b) argue your point further.

We have only currently had access to the sources, and the scans.

Which is why we didn't mention it previously.



Most likely we will include one with each movie released.

However, there will be a disc with all of them on there so you won't have to wait for all of them to be released separately.

This is just fantastic news! Any idea of a timeline? And what about the 2 Raiders docs?

Just a thought... But...


I'm sure both Fox and Disney would love to sell the original versions of the trilogy since they only care about making money and selling the original trilogy would be a cash cow. However, I'm willing to bet that Lucas foresaw that possibility and he likely included a stipulation that says Disney and/or Fox cannot release the original trilogy without his permission otherwise the rights to the films revert back to him.


He may not be a good filmmaker, but he is a savvy businessman.


Wow. Great thing you brought that up. It's never been discussed before and no one ever had that thought before either.

Both Raiders docs made it to Laserdisc in the U.S., so there are no subtitles to contend with. Can't recall if anyone ever undertook a preservation of them.

The Making of Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom never had a video release at all, AFAIK.


;) Yours truly did.

But, surely, the 16mm would look better than the laserdisc.

Interesting, but can you actually check the print out and take it home? Scanning a print is something that shouldn't be rushed.

I had a lead on a SWTJ print at an Ohio university, but the link doesn't work anymore.

https://filmcollections.osu.edu/AqdAaDZ6r

The documentary prints Puggo scanned were library discards that turned up on Ebay.


Yup. You can. The titles that you cannot say "In-library use only."

Not sure how long you can take them out for but I'm sure it's not forever. I messaged the library to find out what the rules are. I certainly don't have the ability to do it but I'm sure someone does. This is, after all, NYC. Poita said he might know someone.

An X9 for sale in Michigan!
Time

So a member of the laserdisc facebook group is looking to get rid of his x9 machine and I have a feeling many people here would be interested.
He said:
"It works perfectly and comes with all packing materials. Only 1 or 2 very minor scratches on it. Even the box is in really good shape. It has 5 muse discs and 300 regular discs to come with it"

The catch is that he doesn't want to ship it. Anyone in (or near) Michigan looking for one?

If you are able to borrow them, I may be able to sort something out in NY.

They also have 16mm Star Wars, Jedi, 2001, Classic Creatures- Return of the Jedi, Hardware Wars, the Star Trek movies, The Time Machine and lots of other cool stuff.



Oh they have Classic Creatures? I did a search for Jedi but nothing came up.

Yes, they certainly do. Hardware Wars is coming out on Blu-ray this year, though.

I'm sure I'd be able to borrow them. But, then again, anyone in NYC with a library card would as well. I'm not sure how it works but I'd happily be involved, if they'd scan the Raiders doc as well :)

(Sorry, I originally put this in the wrong section)

Sooo…

The library at Lincoln Center in NYC has 2 16mm copies available. Unfortunately, I have no way of scanning it. Is there anyone else near NYC that would be interested? I don’t believe we have a scan of it yet, no?

https://nypl.bibliocommons.com/item/show/17608352052907_the_making_of_star_wars

They also have one of the Raiders of the Lost Ark documentaries on 16mm as well!

Info: Which HD-DVD is better than Blu-Ray?
Time

drngr said:


I don't have that movie.

But when you rip a full HD DVD you could play the IME using a software player. You can also rip the PiP track(s) used for it, but if it's not one long video for the entire film it would be tough to sync with the actual movie.


Thanks!
Question: what's the resolution usually for the PiP tracks? What are they encoded in? I actually think the Poseidon is feature, length.

Where did the "workprint" footage come from? Was there ever a film source?


Believe it or not, it's not a workprint. There's just the one green screen scene (after Calvin's evacuation announcement but before the water breach) that might have even made it into the theatrical cut. I didn't see it theatrically but I can confirm that scene was green on the 1980s retail Australian VHS (my copy is now long gone, sadly).

The backdrop was changed to light blue on the Region 4 DVD and all the Australian TV broadcasts I've ever seen.

See screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/YIkKu

The colours on the VHD rip are a mess, but the green is accurate. I'd love it if someone with the VHD could confirm this please. I'd also love to know what the laserdisc looks like. This bizarre goof was part of the film's charm for me!
