I believe i downloaded this version a few weeks ago from a torrent site, since it has the same menus and bonus features.  I was wondering what kind of blu ray player and TV people are viewing this on.  It plays flawlessly on my PC, but after burning the first disc to BD-R and playing it on my TV, it judders like crazy.  Even the slightest movements have a noticeable frame interlacing issue,  and when there is a panning shot, it looks like a 10.0 earthquake, double and triple vision of objects on the screen.  I have been trying to understand why this happens with this disc and nothing else that I've ever viewed on it, including blu ray movies, and TV.  It's a Vizio LCD with 240hz refresh, and should be able to display this just fine theoretically.

I'm just trying to figure out why it looks like a nightmare on my TV, and literally hurts the eyes to look the interlacing issue for too long.  This isn't a complaint about your work, it's obviously has something to do with my TV, like I said, it is perfectly smooth on my PC.  But it makes no sense, I've never seen anything quite like it before, not even close, with anything else I've ever viewed on it.  I've tried different "smooth motion" settings on the TV and it made no difference.

A simple BNC to RCA cable will work from a Betacam Deck to your capture card.

Capture via component for best results.

I complained about this in blu-ray.com when the blu-ray came out and several people commented that the DTS 768 equals the PCM. I didn't understand why but they explained it.

48kHz = 48,000 samples per second.

Each sample is 16 bits, therefore mono PCM is 1 x 16 x 48,000 = 768,000 bits per second = 768kbps.

However, the specs above say that it is encoded as dual mono (same track in left and right channels) and uses 24 bit samples. Uncompressed this would be 2 x 24 x 48000 = 2304kbps, so 768kbps represents a track that has been compressed to a third of its original size. 

Are you sure it's Raiders that has outtakes? You might be thinking of LC because that DEFINITELY has dialogue not in the film. I don't remember hearing anything out of the ordinary in Raiders.

Yes the deck will probably use professional connectors - XLR for audio and BNC for component video. You'll have to use adapters, but it shouldn't be a problem.

Can the Hauppauge take a component input? If not, s-video would be a second choice.

Moth3r said:

No, although the tapes look similar Betacam SP and Betamax are completely different formats.

I would look into getting a Betacam SP tape deck off eBay, and a capture card that can capture an analogue component input.

I just purchased some EPK's from films that I like but all is on Betacam SP. Any idea how to transfer those? Will a regular Betamax machine play them?

Thanks again to everyone who helped me and all of us realize this dream.  I'm curious to see if Universal uses the original 5.1 or a remix for the upcoming 3D re-release.  One thing is for sure: the trailer's 2D image looks to have improved vastly over the Blu-ray video master.  With any luck, we'll get a nice, new Blu-ray as well!

I'd assume they'd continue to use the remix. I don't think that they'll make a new encode for the 2D BD video master (to save costs), but they'll probably issue it on a nice 3D BD. If that happens, one would have to extract the 2D image from the 3D BD for a high quality Jurassic Park. I'm just speculating, of course; this is what happened to Beauty and the Beast. Time will tell.

But at least he's "in style" now. He's got bangs. :)

Does anyone know what happened to babyhum? I've tried messaging and emailing. No response.

That vinyl is hella ugly.

It reminds me of Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer :)

I know this may be slightly "off topic" but does anyone have a special edition DVD from other regions that has these extras?

"Unstoppable Force: The Legacy Of The Terminator" (9:13)
"The Terminator: Closer To The Real Thing" (11:26)

They're apparently on the French, Holland, Scandinavia and UK discs.

 

They are also on, at least, one German DVD release. I should have them at Home.

Thanks for the info, I really would like to see a preservation of the complete extended Movie. At least I can watch it at home from LD. But I think DVDs are such more usefull, using at DVD watching evenings at friends homes.

I preserved the deleted scenes onto DVD. I put them on youtube as well.

Amen to all that. Let it be! :)

I meant what soundtrack would be heard? Evita does not have a DTS credit at the end...

Actually, no. You should change evita.

*** shouldn't be next to it. And there's a problem with the BD, not the LD.

 

You are right, as *** was put wrongly there; according to this <a href="http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Preserving-DTS-LaserDisc-tracks-specifically-Jurassic-Park/post/616070/#TopicPost616070" target="_blank">post</a> - and to <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116250/" target="_blank">IMDB</a> (see technical specs) the original soundtrack was Dolby Digital - so I changed the description and added §§§ original soundtrack was not DTS. Maybe the Xmas lunch was a little too heavy to think clearly... (#@@)

Thanks, I provided to edit the first post with your comments.

I know the chances of anyone else interested in this are slim to none but any chance of getting the DTS track from Evita? Apparently there are some problems with the track on the blu-ray. Several people have complained of distortion.

This is the version I'm talking about:

I'm hoping I can find it as I'm recording the BIO documentary right now.

MrBrown said:

Sorry, the videothek only had the old VCL DVD without that 6 minutes Featurette. Not even the BD. But I'll keep my eyes open.

Should not be impossible to get it somehow.

Apologies if this has already been answered but what version will be used for the final Blu-ray? And is there an ETA for that?
