Topic: 23.976 to 29.97 fps - How do I do it without speeding up the video?

First of all, you have to do only one of that steps, not all 3. Select the one you like the most

If you want to do it with AviSynth, you can use the ConvertFPS command theoreticly anywhere, but in your case I would put it at the end of your script, so do it like

#------------------------------------------------------
# 1 Load Menu Background & Mask
BackGround = AviSource("Background.avi").ConvertToRGB32()
Mask = AviSource("Mask.avi").ConvertToRGB32()

# 2 Load Clips
Clip1=AviSource("ep601.avi").ConvertToRGB32()
Clip2=AviSource("ep602.avi").ConvertToRGB32()

# 3 Start the Menu as a blank clip
Menu = BlankClip(Background).loop(600)

# 4 Size & Place the Clips
Clip1 = Clip1.LanczosResize(263, 220)
Menu = Layer(Menu, Clip1, "add", 255, 161, 231)
Clip2 = Clip2.LanczosResize(279, 210)
Menu = Layer(Menu, Clip2, "add", 255, 529, 240)

# 5 Mask & Place the Background
BackGround = Mask(BackGround,Mask)
Layer(Menu, BackGround, "add", 255, 0, 0)

# 6 Resize to D1
BilinearResize(720, 480)
ConvertFPS(29.970)

You have to load this avs script into a mpeg2 encoder - CCE, TMPGEnc, HCEncoder or QuEnc. That encoder will produce from this scipt a DVD-Video compatible mpv stream, which you use in your authoring program.

In the case you want to use dgpulldown you have to first download it from http://neuron2.net/dgpulldown/dgpulldown.html. Then you take your FINSISHED 23.976fps MPEG, and use it to set the pulldown flags from 23.976 to 29.97. Sorry I have never done this, but most users prefer this mehod, so it's worth a try.

The third method uses DVDLabPro for DVD authoring. If you have your FINISHED 23.976fps MPEG, import it to DVDLabPro, it will ask you want to the the 2:3 pulldown, just confirm it.

I hate NTSC also, PAL is much easier

There are many different ways how to do it.
For example

1) In AviSynth use ConvertFPS(29.97), and then convert the script to mpeg2
OR
2) Use dgpulldown.exe and set with it the "pulldown flags". It will somehow ensure that the 23.976 stream plays at 29.970fps without changing the speed. It's I think called soft-telecine.
OR
3) If you're using DVDLabPro for authoring, you can import the 23.976fps clip and it will automaticly create the 2:3 pulldown for you

And I'm pretty sure that there are more ways how to do it, but that's for the NTSC guys

If you want only to PLAY the file, there is also a Macintosh version of VLC at videolan.org, which has no problems playing almost any media file, including ac3.

That's interesting, I never even thought they release a fullscreen version on DVD

Were also some other movies released officially in 4:3 on DVD, or only T3 ? (Even when it's NOT a JC movie

)

I think it was pointed out in Deleted Magic, it happens when he bends down to go under the x-wing. You can see the back of his head, maybe it could be collored brown?

Can you upload some screenshot, just to know what you're talking about ? I know it is mentioned in Deleted Magic, but I never managed to notice that

I don't have the fullscreen Terminator movies, so if somebody here HAS them ...

Thanks, that's the term I was looking for

But still the most important thing is that his 4:3 TV versions feature much more "visual information" than his theatrical & DVD releases.

To go back to topic :

E1 : What the f* was that ? The most chaoticly edited movie in the history ! So many important scenes droped and so much crap left in

I actually never understood what was this movie about, it's a series of things which simply happen without any reason, but WHAT WAS THE MOVIE ABOUT ???

E2 : Finally a great prequel ! This is actually the only prequel that I actually like. A great fast action movie with a "heart and soul", just like the original trilogy. It's only problem are the last 30-40 minutes, it feels like somebody switched the TV chanel and we're suddenly watching a completely different movie.

E3 : The most boring intro I've ever seen in my life. And what's even worse, the intro lasted for a half an hour. This movie is simply unwatchable. I always felt like watching a trailer for a cheap videogame, and not a movie. Too much CG. What if the lazy bastards would move their fat asses and actually BUILD something ? Maybe the sets, the props, some miniatures, simply something which makes me feel like I'm watching a movie, and not Doom 2

Pure shit, even the story sucks. The transition from Anakin to Vader , the probably most waited scene in movie history is completely ruined ! And Padme ? Hey, my husband is a killer, what will I do with it ? Hey, I've got an idea, I'll die.

To be honest, I saw the holiday special once and I don't feel the need to watch it again

But I really want the OT deleted scenes, I'm waiting for them since 2001 or when was E1 released on DVD.

Hi, are there any projects preserving James Cameron’s movies in the original for in which they were planned to see ?

In the case you don’t know, James Cameron shoots all his movies in fullscreen, but crops them to widescreen for their theatrical release.

I’m currently doing a 4:3 version of the Abyss, and yes, you can finally see her breasts again (Those of you who saw the movie know what I’m talking about)
I want to ask if somebody did preserve the fullscreen versions of T1&T2 and of course Aliens. Hm, maybe even True Lies and Titanic

Guys, why the hell do you do it so complicated ? Is it a problem for you to write the AviSYnth script manually ? It's VERY easy.

1) Rip the DVD with DVDDecrypter in IFO mode.
2) Create a index file with DDMPGDec or what's it's name
3) Create the AviSynth script in ANY text editor or let GordianKnot to create the script for you
4) To the script you must add the "subtitle" lines from the sample scripts posted above
5) OPen the script with ANY mpeg encoder (CCE, TMPGEnc, QuEnc, HC...)

Easy.

It's not because we like movies faster, it's because our "normal" TVs work at 50Hz, so the process of speeding up the 24fps video to 25fps and interlacing it to 50i was the most easy and the fastest soulution when the PAL format was invented

I always thought that THIS is what E3 will be about - Anakin going to free the slaves, "something" happening to him which makes him turn to the dark side ... Instead we got a shit full of Doom2-type creatures looking incredibly bad.

If there's not a box set planed this year, why can't we get at least a deleted scenes DVD ?

I'm not 100% sure how will it look, but in theory you can use Avisynth.
1) With ColorKeyMask set black on this source as transparent
2) Use this scene from 2006 (resized properly) as the base layer
3) Put the 2004 layer with transparent layer over the old source

It should be something like this (GOUT is this scene from GOUT resized properly, SE is this scene from 2004 release)

Layer(GOUT, ColorKeyMask(SE, $000000, 10), "add", 255, 0, 0)

Worth a try

Guys, remember we still have christmas before us, so I hope the boxset WILL be released - for the x-mas market. But also on the other side, if it won't include at least a "STANDARD" transfer of all 6 theatrical movies and / or deleted scenes to all movies, I see no reason for buing it
