Would like the link as well, if possible. š

Does anyone have access to Kerrās Hobbit Arkenstone editions? Would love to see them, loved the first one but didnāt realize he finished the set.
I saw on your Titanic thread that you were dropping to 1080p due to banding issues.
Will that affect this project?
1080p or 4k, Iām looking forward to Deathly Hallows 1 and 2, really enjoyed the mixed ratio in films 1, 2, and 6.
How is everyone watching this? Iāve tried in VLC on Windows and Xbox, Movies and TV app on Xbox, and Media Player Classic and VirtualDub2 on Windows, and Iām getting a lot of banding in the opening of Sorcererās Stone, most visible when Dumbledore lifts up the put-outer and itās the only thing in the shot.
My TV is LCD 1080p, my computer screen is LED 3200x1800. Is this only visible from downscaling or on an SDR screen, or is anyone else seeing this too?
Looks good.
I really would love to see the Japanese Laserdisc preservation of the From Star Wars to Jedi The Making of a Saga documentary that was included in the 1995 Japanese Star Wars Trilogy Collectorās Set Laserdisc set.
Would you be interested in From Star Wars to Jedi from the French Pyramid laserdisc release? Althor did capture and release that.
Iād imagine also that while individual frames may lose a miniscule amount of detail, the fact that grain varies in location by frame means that in motion all available detail shared between frames should still be visible as our eyes view things temporally.
Iām pretty sure too much detail has been lost in the darks. You canāt restore what isnāt there.
Curious if anyone has any interest in branching off this project.
Would love to see the initial parts of the scripts used for this (up through and including Levels and Gamma adjustment) rendered to a lossless file and AI upscaled to 1080p (4k would be Overkill, Iām sure).
I donāt have access to the PAL DVDs or AI upscaling, so this is just me wishing š . But seems worth the shot.
Looks good, Iāll have check it out when itās done. Sent you a PM.
Now available for everyone.
Slowly uploading to Mega now.
HP2 on the spleen. Any suggestions on a free way to host the 21gb files elsewhere?
Cool project.
PM Sent.
Never thought youād return to this franchise, NSP! š
Iāve never had reliable external hard drives before, and got tired of losing projects I made so I stopped editing for a long time. Now prices have come down and drives are conveniently small and USB powered and super fast transfer speeds.
Also, I love the open matte versions of the films and think that the extended editions of the first two help the films - SS a bit, and CoS so much I refuse to watch it non-extended.
Iām unlikely to work in 4k - my laptop isnāt powerful enough to render it with any semblance of speed. However, I may get in contact with JJPotter and MJBenito to consider using their work as a basis for mixed aspect ratio extended editions of 4-8. Film 3 will not benefit from an open matte version so Iāll continue to use JJPotterās for my personal viewing.
Just a project to combine the Open Matte versions of the first two Harry Potter films with their official extended editions. The extended scenes are in the original 2.40:1 aspect ratio, as well as two shots before and after one deleted scene. Otherwise Open Matte (16:9 aspect ratio) was kept as much as possible. Audio is taken from the Extended Edition.
20+ gb Blu-ray Compliant files
Harry Potter and the Sorcererās Stone is complete.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is also now complete.
Released on the spleen, PM for alternate source.
I hope you enjoy!
It is finished, but that link will help you find it.
Seems strange to see Vader killing everyone then having prisoners marched by. Possible but just feels weird.
Does anyone have access to Bobson Dugnuttās Expenses Editions - particularly TPM and AotC? Iād love a link.
4k=Ultra HD. They mean the same thing.
HDR10+ is very similar to Dolby Vision, and a lot of TVs only use one or the other. A streaming file with Dolby Vision often isnāt backwards compatible with even base HDR10 and will show up as SDR on older TVs
Iām late on the Palpatine line replacement conversation, but wanted to suggest that he say something like āMy new vessel has been tested. Her training is almost complete.ā
Out of curiosity for a potential Ep 1 project, how did you downmix to stereo?
If voice ai could do it, I think it would work better if Padme says āHe wants to help US.ā Followed by āHE canāt save you Padme. Only my new powers can do thatā
Then āall I want is your loveā followed by āI am becoming more powerful than any Jediā¦ Iām doing it for youā
If taking the prequels into consideration how do you deal with the I took it upon myself to train him as a Jedi. when it was because he promised qui gon?
He took it upon himself because of the promise to Qui Gon. Just because he leaves the last part out doesnāt mean the first part isnāt true. The rest isnāt necessary for this film, so no need to add it.
