why crop the imax scenes when the movie was in fact shown like this in (imax) cinema?
Id like to ask if there have been other DTS cinema tracks transfered from their CD-ROM sources to a usable format we can use for ourselves at home, other than the matrix and that of jurassic park which we can get from myspleen.
are there any more of this kind? what about this Star wars track, was it possible to create that one as well? if so where could I find it?
thank you for answering. compared to the older Cinema track which was posted separately at myspleen 10 months ago, this DTS-HD MA track has a size of 2.37GB while the old one has a size of 2.11GB (when converting the flac track to DTS-HD MA).
is the reason for that difference in size because the old track was lossy reencode of a lossy track?
thanks again!
yes, there isnt any runtime information given when I do so.
so, despite this weird runtime information, will the DTS-HD MA still sync fine if I mux it with the blu-ray?
I extracted the DTSMA track from this source, but its runtime is displayed with 3h41min (MPC-HC) or 3h45min (VLC). Is there any way to fix this?

I haven't had a chance to read through this entire thread just yet, just wondering if anyone's taken on doing a preservation of The Matrix. I see the disc on the list and I had been happy with it's home release audio, but this is a movie that had its color changed somewhere between the theatrical release and it's home video HD release. Some horrible green filters were added. Having gone to the theater quite a few times to see The Matrix, I vividly remember the colors being more red/blue shifted than what was on the HD-DVD and Blu-ray. My copy on LD looks closer to what I remember in the theater, but a 2.39:1 movie on LD leaves lots of detail out. There's also a TV version of the movie in HD that looks close, but with a bit of DNR -- that one is not matted to 2.39:1 either. Would be pretty cool to attempt a version that combines the Cinema DTS audio with a color corrected HD version of the film. Any other details on the original color scheme?
I have actually released a regraded version of The Matrix that removes the blanket green tint on the blu-ray, bringing back the reds and blues and reduces the over the top contrast of the blu-ray. The 16gb version also includes the cinema DTS. You should check it out.
You can find it on tehparadox, search for 'regraded the matrix 16gb' and it should pop up.
but your version doesnt already include the fixed/more lossless encoded DTS cinema track which jerryshadoe corrected, does it? It would be nice to see that newer audio track included.
I dont know.
as a heads up, the Twin Peaks blu-rays come with lossless 7.1 tracks. I guess these upmixes wont sound too good and the 2.0 track on those discs is AC3 with 192 kbit/s. so maybe someone feels like adding their LD tracks :)
(that is if someone at all has all those LDs, they were really expensive from what Ive heard).
does anyone feel like syncing/cutting both original LD Blade Runner tracks to the Douche Edition?
The Douche edition is the DC + additional violence which has been cut out and which is present in the other version(s). It can be found on usenet. Its possible to create this edition with lossless video, because all these 3 different cuts exist on the same BD in branched form. together with the final cut this is my preferred version of Blade Runner, because I hate such cuts of violence, sex etc. Its basically the best of both worlds of the DC and the US/international cut versions.

lossless AC3
typo ;)
screenshots look good so far!
I dont know how long you guys will still need for these project, but atm it doesnt look like H.265 is going to be better(!) and more effective than H.264 anytime soon. that time is still far away. just consider how many years H.264 has been in development to arrive where it is now and how little time H.265 has been existed so far.
of course not to keep, but as source for a BD 50.
anyway, its theirs to decide. but as said, Im sure Ill find some good encoders whod like to do this if the JPEGS look fine. just as an offer.
thats too bad, because if the quality was really going to be that good I know people who'd want to do a nice BD 50 encode from that. you guys wouldnt even have to do it yourselves.
where is the cinema DTS taken from? Is its quality ~the same compared to the inbuilt DTS track? (aside from the bumper)
Im not an expert with all these versions and audio tracks. Is there a better track (5.1 or 2.0) for the DC (153min, preferably fitting to the Studio Canal EU BD (=Best PQ)) than the 5.1 track from that Blu-ray?

the original Blade Runner mix is terrible. Granted its original and should be preserved but its not a good mix. Dialog/ADR sounds very terrible
which is the best bladerunner track/mix in your opinion (for which edition of the movie)?
just seeing that ^^ screenshot, isnt the quality supposed to be more grainy with those film reels? preserving the grain might need a lot of bitrate, please dont do any DNR (intentially or not)
not familiar with the technical process of what you are doing, but this is what it looks like when someone made a 40GB blu-ray for Back to the Future sourced from 210mbps JPEG2000DCP (you might have seen this before):
I dont know if its possible for your restauration to look like that, but if it is then it would be great!

there are some copy & paste problems with the link, e.g. when I seach for "alien" in title (term1) then google gives me the search result
site:originaltrilogy.com/forum allintitle:alien
and no results at all.
does this forum actually have a search function? I cant find it.
anyway, it would be helpful if all those projects mentioned in the OT could be linked to their corresponding threads.

Also, about the 25G vs 50G versions, yes it would be possible, we'll see what happens when we get to the end point. The distribution of it online gets unwieldy with those sizes though.

that wont really be a problem with usenet. and to be honest, how long are you working on this now, several months or years? and then you'd possibly downgrade the quality of which you've been working on so long by the choice of 25G over 50g? that would potentially really be some big waste of time ;)
as said, 50GB wont be a problem for quality movie trackers and usenet. of course, those people who only prefer dvd9 or even dvd5 size never learn. you cant really appreciate the quality of the movie & restauration like that.
and a general question, I guess the 35mm version is supposed to be the best thing there is atm, I guess until someone somehow comes up with the 70mm version. Is that correct to assume?
edit: or is the 35mm version the real original version and the 70mm cant offer better PQ?
just a question, couldnt the PQ be better if you aim for a size rather towards a BD50 than a BD25 or as additional offer? at least I would be interested it that, those 25GB more dont matter to me at all. Its all about having the best 1080p quality available.
nope, a request (and bite me)
Harmy, would it be possible to release these versions as high quality (=almost lossless) encode in 1080p? 720p is better than nothing, but frankly said not much more.
the original PremiereHD caps should be somewhere at usenet
