Great, and somehow this isn’t deemed important enough to be anounced before people start downloading. Now I have a mixed bag of sets… what is the best aproach now to solve this.

Stop downloading .rars and grab a torrent. Do you need a spleen invite?

I could use a spleen invite is someone would be so kind. Thanks.

Could someone please PM me the password for the RAR file (containg the mkv) that is out on the public torrents? Much appreciated and thanks for Harmy for all of the hard work!

Can someone send me a myspleen invite? Thx.

Thanks G-force.  Is 6.64 on page 1 the new script?

Me too, Thanks G-Force!

What tool would be used to take the PCM laser tracks to 448 dolby?

I think it wasn't addressed because (speaking for myself here) it seems kinda pointless.  What exactly do you even mean?  So you have the LD set.  Great.  If you want a DVD backup, there are many available - the GOUT and the myriad OOT bootlegs.  Since I'm sure your LD player isn't an X0, many of these sets (and definitely the GOUT) will look better in comparison anyway.

Do you mean that you want to ask if you could get your set transferred with the X0 player?  My bet is no - the X0 team borrowed someone else's X0 if I'm not mistaken, and no longer have access to it.  Besides, why would your set be any different than the set(s) the X0 team was using?  Wouldn't it be easier to just wait for the X0 to get released?  That would CERTAINLY look better than your set.

The raw X0 caps looked better than any LD cap I've ever seen. So its not pointless. Maybe its pointless to you, but not to the rest of us. Even a raw X0 cap would be the ultimate in persevering our LD copies.

 

 

There are other LD players that can cap pretty goddamn close to the X0,any high end Pioneer would be fine for me(I am glad I have one),most of the "making it look pretty" comes after the cap.

maybe it is just that my eyes are going bad LOL,but I have the timecoded avi file that was floating around years ago and my caps(with my new Pionerr,not my old RCA)look pretty damn close.

I would just like to see something,but in my opinion,we will see all 6 movies on Bluray before anything comes from this.

and have you guys seen what G Forces script can do to the GOUT as it is called here,they look fantastic,again,my opinion,but an LD transfer won't even come close to these.

 I agree about the G-Force script.  I used his script on the GOUT DVD's and they look far far better than my Definitive Collection laserdiscs, and my laserdisc player is an HLD-X9, so it's not far off of the X0.  The GOUT DVD's with G-Forces script applied is the best I've ever seen the originals look.  Sound quality is another matter, you can beat the lasers for sound quality.

Perhaps it is just because you are so used to seeing the crystal clear, clean and bubbly, overly bright, wet & soapy 2004 versions?

 

If anything the DVDs are too dark and high contrast with botched colors, they are no way "overly bright". The restoration is actually great aside from the crushed blacks and whites and the color correction. The GOUT DVDs on the other hand, are grainer than any LD preservation...maybe it's just because they are sharper, maybe not. There is certainly some dupe grain on them.

I agree.  The GOUT DVD's are grainer than the lasers.  That I think is because the lasers are so soft, the grain isn't as noticeable.  When you get to DVD with more resolution and a sharper image, the grain is more apparent. 

I also agree that the "special edition" dvd's are no good.  Way to dark, messed up color, switched surround channels on  A New Hope, bad sound overall on A New Hope, etc,  just overall a mess.  I took the GOUT DVD's and used the avisynth script that G-Force created and I love the results.  The image quality far surpasses the lasers, and I use a Pioneer HLD-X9 player.  Sound quality on the lasers is still far superior to the DVD's though. 

They are the same transfer.  However, in my opinion, the definitive collection had better picture quality easily, at least they do on my HLD-X9.  The Faces set are all CLV format laserdiscs, whereas the Definitive Collection were in CAV format.  I always tend to find CAV as having richer colors and less noise than the Faces CLV versions.  Of course, the definitive set has issues of it's own, such as possibility of laser rot, missing seconds of footage from Empire Strikes Back. 

In my opinion, the DVD's, while still being non-anamphorically enchanced, are much better than the laserdisc's image, especially on a large widescreen DVD.  It also depends on the quality of your laserdisc player.  I use a Pioneer HLD-X9, which is one of the best players ever made, and even using the X9, the DVD's are much better.  Sound quality is another matter.  The sound on the laserdiscs blows the DVD's out of the water.  The lasers have full uncompressed PCM sound compared to the GOUTS 192kbps dolby surround.  So for video quality, the DVD's win easily over the laserdiscs, even when using high end laserdisc players.  For sound, the lasers far and away. 

Thanks G-force.  Does this script offer any improvements for a New Hope, or is it just Empire and Jedi that have improvement through the script. 

Hello All,

Having an issue with Rejig.   I used G-Forces script and HCEncoder and got the encoding of a New Hope finished.  Now trying to use Rejig to put it all back together.  I use the DVD author mode and fill out the information, but the file it creates grows to large that eventually my hard drive fills up.  I've seen the file it creates get up to 56GB before the drive runs out of space and the program crashes.  I know this isn't right so I was wondering if any had some advice or thoughts on what I might be doing wrong? Thanks

I finally got past the error.  Thanks to all of you for your helpfulness.  I really appreciate it. 

Still having issues with the "clense" function.  I have updated to the full release of avisynth 2.5.8 (had the beta).  Downloaded the package above which contains removegrain.dll.  When I use the version that is contained within, HCencoder crashes. When I update to the latest removegrain (1.0), I don't get the "clense" errors anymore, but then get errors regarding "unable to load removegrain".  Did no one else get these errors when trying to run the script?  Does anyone have the older versions of removegrain.dll, like the .6 version?

Thanks for the info.  I have the latest removegrain.dll files in the plugins directory.  I read the following post which talks about this same issue and that the "temporal" dll's fix the issue.  When I install them, I then get errors saying that the removegrain.dll's cannot be loaded, even though they are in the plugins directory.  I appreciate all of your help.  Been trying to get this script to work for about three months now and it is getting frustrating.

I believe I had the removegrain dll's from the package, but it was causing the HCendor gui to crash.  Doing some reading, I updated to the latest removegrain package.   Should also mention using HCEncoder .23 and Avisynth 2.5.8 beta.  I see that the full 2.5.8 is out, so I will upgrade though I'm not sure if that will have any bearing. 

I would appreciate if you guys could help me out.  I'm trying to run the script, and in HCEncoder I keep getting the error "There is no function named "Clense"". Have any of you ever seen that or have any idea what the issue might be?  Thanks much. 

Greg

Okay, I've finally got some good degraining that I'm extremely happy with. Check out the new script!

 Thanks for all of your work on this g-force.  Are there any new avs filters needed for the new script?
