Is this similar to how RE:Match works?

Hey, kk650 - did you add grain to ANH, and if so what grain plugin/settings are you using? Just watched all of ANH, and my only complaint is that the grain is a bit strong in it. Is there a chance that added grain is conflicting with any grain that is already present?

Huge small inquiry/request?

Has the new Emperor hologram scene ever been released in higher quality than the compressed youtube preview? If so, where could I find it, and if not, is there any chance it could be?

Ever since seeing that hologram, it has ruined both the original and the 2004 version for me... I desperately want to splice it into Harmy's ESB Despecialized...

Hey Harmy, we know you're waiting on the 35mm footage.

Besides that, how is this coming along?

Fair enough. I just like having the discs on my edit/preservation shelf. Makes me feel like i have them and they are mine and you can't take them :-P 

That's been my only issue with you releases is i have to reencode to make a disc. So i lose quality :-( 

Typically when i encode, i use bdtoavchd. Makes bd compatible files, lets you set tune, and keeps you from messing with Settings you shouldn't.

I've also found that rendering in x264 using tune grain and veryslow preset is amazing at saving those small details, though again smaller sizes still suffer some

Looks GREAT kk650 :)

lol, thank you :D

So... umm... where can I watch this? I want to. Right now.

You don't have to have fanedit.org approval to release it over here ;)

I'll spleen n seed if you'd like :)

Perhaps Sky_ was simply implying how beautiful that would look with the word "Revisited" slapped on it.

And your magic settings for those filters are...? ;-) 

... quite possibly rambling to myself here, but these things intrigue me.

What would be the result of upconverting footage through a digital-film-digital conversion process?

Say you take the GOUT, transfer it to 16mm (or 35mm, but seems overkill), and then scan the resulting 16mm footage in at 1080p. Are individual pixels transfered to the film stock, or is some sort of physical interpolation automatically applied during the transfer process?

Smudger Updated Fanedit.org today saying he finished his final cut, was doing a watchthrough, and submitting it there.

Hopefully that means that it is being uploaded as we speak.

Just an idea for ANH - after Vader kills Ben, the doors close in front of Vader with his lightsaber still drawn. I wouldn't mind seeing Vaders saber just barely cutting through the door similar to Qui Gon in TPM. Any thoughts?

Create the avchd/bluray with tsmuxer, then load the folder into multiavchd.

The other option could be bdtoavchd, bdremux mode

Just about to sit down and watch. :)

BTW, kk650, I think I read you're planning on redoing your episode 1 regrade. Are you intending to color correct this time, or use the broadcast as your source? If you do choose the broadcast, I would like to request that you replace the Yoda scenes with the ones from the blu. I much prefer the cgi version - but I know that depends on your personal preference, of course.

Lol, my thought exactly. Seems a fair request.

Not sure if this is possible, or to what level it could be applied but - is there any chance this could be used to merge the Chroma from Harmy's Despecialized with the Luma from the Renegade Grindhouse?

I've been thinking about this for a a little while now -

First off, with the CRT Emulation mode - is there any way to apply a pixel shift to every other frame, or in a particular pattern in avisynth?

I was thinking if you set a 4 frame pattern for this, you could then apply an interlace filter to the resulting video, as it would make the video appear interlaced (I could be way off, but thought it might work)

You would set the first frame in it's original position, the second shifted 1 frame up, the third frame back to the original position, the fourth frame shifted 1 frame down.  

I was also curious about using multiple upscaling methods, then finding the mean chroma and luma using the MergeChroma/MergeLuma functions. Doing this, you could attempt to find the perfect combo/middle ground between spline, bicubic, and lanczos, perhaps even throwing in a small amount of bilinear to smooth any over sharpening.

There is also a median method here: http://forum.doom9.org/archive/index.php/t-140282.html

Not sure about a mode function, but to me that almost seems the best possible way to mix the files, as it would only use the chroma/luma information that occured most frequently across the different upscales. This would hopefully eliminate some of the artifacting/haloing in lanczos.

I know a few people have grabbed this. Anyone up for throwing me a review.

I would change it to maybe 2.25 or 2.2b ... Just in case the original 2.2 is still in circulation

I prefer Clip 1.

I prefer 2 on the first one, 1 on the second one.
