i have done a version 2.0 with the best quality sebastian shaw footage i could find and a 6.1 dts-hd master audio track added

if anyone is interested just let me know and i could post it (you would need a player capable of playing the hd sound tho, i.e. powerdvd, total media theatre or burned to blu)

 I thought you did a great job on your version 1 and would love to see your version 2.

Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem  BD video tests.

Untouched BD -  https://mega.co.nz/#!IJVkEbiC!mHqU3vQOI0asJrxToZa3GmIBXicSNAVYFNBFATeKxlE

Test1A -   https://mega.co.nz/#!INUySSqC!JgA2xyPvBo-rOLsie1CYje-ExzptRGIJx3qde89gtJ8

Test1B -  https://mega.co.nz/#!VlFXBLSI!Dw6C-bw6gEu5dgPD6fDHiNP-TrYwQ2Juka3TWjRYank

Feel free to download and comment, all clips are from the same spot in the movie. Test1 has more inky black with a slight color change plus brightened scenes. Test2 Shows a bit more detail but blacks aren't as dark and the color stays the same.

 I like Test1 the most and it is definitely a step in the right direction. The original movie looks so flat and lacks contrast. Do you think you can pull even more contrast out of the BD?  

 Was it a .avi  or .mkv that you like the best?

I had them labeled wrong, my bad.

 Sorry. I meant I like Test1A the best. It was an .mkv.

Back to square one for this movie then ...... damn.  I hate newsgroup searching ..... it just isn't always easy.

:(

 Guys,

Nemesis is the one Trek film that has no SkyHd posting to the newsgroups. I don't think it was ever even broadcast on SkyHd. The only version that was ever posted was a terrible mpeg2 1080i that was full of errors and that was way back in 2006. I wouldn't worry about it. Nemesis looks and sounds great on Blu-ray.

Search Usenet for SpaceCamp 1986 1080i HDTV DD5.1 MPEG2-TrollHD.

 This is a very nice transfer but has one major problem. It has a rather large station logo in the bottom right corner. Says "HDNET MOVIES KIDS SCENE". I know dark_jedi wont touch caps that have a logo. Maybe one of you guys knows a process to remove the studio logo. You_Too?

As for Nemesis, it is out there but it is apparently far too old to possibly retrieve.

 It might still be possible.  If you really want it you can use a news client like "Forte Agent" and retrieve files that are much older than what you can find on nzbclub.  I have usenetserver too and agree that it does rock and with it and forte agent I have been able to download extremely old files.

 How old are we talking? Can you get files 7 years old?

 Is that how old Nemesis is?  I'm not sure, I just know from experience I was able to download files from alt.binaries.starwars (using forte agent)  that were too old for nzb search engines.

As far as I can tell, Skyhd never broadcast Nemesis or it could be that it was never uploaded. The only copy's that exist on usenet were domestic captures that date back 6-7 years. As near as I can tell they have glitches or at least some of them do. I have given up my pursuit in finding a high quality 1080i of this film. If you want to try to locate a copy Stretch search for Nemesis 1080i. They were not hiding file names back then.

 Please send me some links to check out .....

 PM sent.

I'm just thinking out loud here about STII ..... technically, the theatrical version could be re-created using footage from the 2 disc DVD set.  Of course, that footage would have to be touched up a bit maybe to match the HDTV footage.

 Wouldn't it be more prudent to just use the footage from the BD but color-corrected to match? I'd definitely be interested if these were re-up'ed to a torrent eventually... myspleen maybe? :)

 If the BD has DNR and the HDTV cap/ DVD does not, which would you go with?  As for the uploading to myspleen, I don't know if it would be possible.  Since I don't see the SW HDTV caps there I would guess these wouldn't be allowable either.  They would have to go up elsewhere.

 Actually, Jetrell Fo, Star Trek 2 is the one Trek Blu-ray that doesn't suffer from excess DNR just revisionist color timing. It is way too blue.

Just tried slowing Swiss Family Robinson using Uncropmkv. It was a fail. Only 30 minutes of the 2hr. movie was encoded. The sound was in sync though. I was not impressed with the image quality. The frame rate was a little weird. It looked unnatural. I am running Windows 8 64bit which I heard could be problematic with this software. I will be sticking with Ripbot264. It has proven to be very reliable and produces super high quality encodes if you know how to set it up properly.

How do I turn this h.264 @ 25fps to NTSC without quality loss so I can get the DVD audio to synch up?

 Use uncropMKV.  (By the maker of multiAVCHD)  It's worked for me.  There's VERY little quality loss, in fact you can choose the bitrate for the file.

 I have re-encoded these kind of files using Ripbot264 and have been very happy with the results.

 I like Ripbot too but in Jetrell Fo's case he would have to re-encode the audio in Ripbot per what the maker of Ripbot has stated in a forum.  This is not the case with Uncropmkv.  (Apparently there are sync issues if you don't re-encode the audio in Ripbot)

 Are you saying that Uncropmkv can slow audio without re-encoding?

I believe he's saying that it will slow down the video so I can add the DVD audio to it without sync issues .... or am I reading you wrong stretch?

 Oh, sorry I didn't make that very clear.  Uncropmkv will slow down the video just fine.  The audio that came with it will sync perfectly and I assume your DVD audio will also.
 I've used both Ripbot and Uncropmkv many times and in this case I would definitely use uncropmkv.  One pass is enough and it will be done faster than ripbot.  Setting it up is much simpler than ripbot also.

 Thanks Stretch for explaining. I have downloaded Uncropmkv and will be playing around with it tomorrow. I have a 720p of "Swiss Family Robinson" at 25fps that I would like to slow to 23.976fps. I will report back my impressions.

I have a usenet subscription so that is good news indeed.

:)

I have not... (**/)

It will be a good thing to add to them the laserdisc PCM soundtracks - or the AC3 whenever available, like for ep. 7 8 9 - don't know if HDTV soundtrack will be better in that case...

Oh, did I mention 7,8 and 9 have a synced dts track.:) The movie is at 25fps so it will need to be slowed and or re-encoded. Some might have commentaries also.
