You are looking at the waveforms when doing this? (closely/zoomed in)
Then you really only need to do it like this -
Sync it at the beginning, then scan along the timeline until they no longer match, then move back a little until they do, likely there will be a reel change or a few frames cut, find a cut point, cut and repeat...
As long as the beginning and end of a clip syncs up you should be good to go..
Then afterwards you fill in the few millisecond gaps created with alt. audio.

Oh, you wicked, bad, naughty, evil persons!

L O L

XD

No matter what, it will probably be annoying work! ;)
But it will likely be a lot more accurate syncing one audio to the other using a multitrack audio editor for example, matching at sample level, rather than just going audio to video.
If there's drift you'll probably need to stretch or cut or both.. Also check the pitch just to be sure.

nvm

That is teh sux0rs

But what does that mean, it's dead? What kind of procedure did they perform on it, do you know? Did they actually try to recover the platters? Sounds a bit strange, is all.

Did you try listening to only the woofer (i.e. muting/disconnecting other speakers) at some of the problematic areas? That should tell you if it's the encode (if they're different) or the phase (they're the same).

These things don't just fall out of the sky unfortunately..
Most sw hires scans seems to originate from one guy, klokwerk, and the posterbook scans by ocp.

I haven't seen a new scan in a long time.. A long, long time..

Here are the only REAL hires ANH posters I've come across, but it will likely be old hat for most who collects these things.

While waiting for the final word on the upmix, let me know what formats ppl want/need...
Does anyone really need dts 1536? 768? ac3 640? Or ac3 448 'standard' enough for most? Older stuff reposted?
Just be aware that anything other than 448 kbps ac3 will be ng's only per me.

Thanks for this!

I am ditching the subs because I have no idea why they turned red on me, or how to change them back to what they are supposed to be, so ditching subs altogether.

Actually that is an easy fix ifoedit.. I forget the exact details, but I did it myself I believe back then.

Hi yoo guise, I have grabbed the files & will be doing the upmix soon hopefully.. AC3 & DTS on ngs after that..

I can both read and write Japanese. Here, let me demonstrate my writing skills:

"Japanese"


I assure you I can read it as well, but I guess you'll have to take my word for it.

Am I hard enough
Am I rough enough
Am I rich enough
I'm not too blind to see

Oh little sister
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, girl
You're a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty girl
Pretty, pretty
Such a pretty, pretty, pretty girl
Come on baby please, please, please

I'll tell ya
You can put me out
On the street
Put me out
With no shoes on my feet
But, put me out, put me out
Put me out of misery

Yeah, all your sickness
I can suck it up
Throw it all at me
I can shrug it off
There's one thing baby
That I don't understand
You keep on telling me
I ain't your kind of man

Ain't I rough enough, ooh baby
Ain't I tough enough
Ain't I rich enough, in love enough
Ooh! Ooh! Please

VOB =|= MPG?

Try demuxing the vob?

You don't know the Cat from Outer Space????

Haha. Thanks! :)

No actual news on the 2nd improved version, but here is small teaser comparing the old bootleg source to the new French source.

French:

Bootleg:

The 77 mono + stereo and the 93 pcms should still be on usenet, depending on what retention you have (posted 219 days ago). Look for 'audio for gout projects' in a.b.sw.

Less silly than what? Or your imagination is less silly? You're such a silly, silly!

A bit of news...

Da Nao Tian Gong/Uproar In Heaven:
I recently learned that there is a French DVD of Da Nao Tian Gong (Le Roi Des Singes). I just received a copy today. It appears to be an almost-complete transfer of the French theatrical version. Almost, because although no major chunks appear to be missing like in the 40th ed., little chunks (like a half a second to a second) seems to be missing in many places.

It looks to be the best transfer of the theatrical version so far though, somewhat better than the Chinese bootleg source, but due to the chunks of frames missing it is still incomplete, and not a true representation of the theatrical version (and the DVD is French only)... sigh... This movie seem to be cursed or something.

I think this French DVD was released in the last quarter of 2008. It's really too bad I didn't have this version or even knew about it back when I was working on the restoration. :( I guess no French Monkey King fans visits the forum.. 

So it would be nice to do a v2 with the new material, but to be honest I'm not really itching to do much of that work again. In all likelyhood I'll get around to it but I can't really say when. Also the frames missing could make it even more time-consuming, since this is/was a frame-accurate restoration, as far as that is even possible.


**********

Also...
I have been gathering materials for the Nezha cartoon, and I have lots of rare stuff for that. If someone has a nice setup for capping PAL and/or SECAM VHS, and wish to help out, feel free to contact me.

I was in contact with a couple of translators a while ago (which are needed for the remaining episodes), but they've all backed out for one reason or another. Hey, that's what happens... But help is still needed, particularly someone who can translate spoken Mandarin into English, and create the subs. An English proofreader might be useful down the line as well since English is not my native language.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, and might help move things along a bit.


**********

And also...
I have secured copies of the Monkey King SAFS releases I didn't have before.
In addition to
1941  Tie Shan Gong Zhu (Princess Iron Fan)
1981  Sun Wu Kong Tou Chi Ren Shen Guo (Ginseng Fruit)
1985  Jin Hou Xiang Yao (The Monkey King Conquers the Bone Demon)
they are:

1958  Zhu Bajie eats a watermelon (cut-out animation; slightly better copy)
1958  Huo Yan Shan (puppet movie)
1980  Ding Ding Zhan Hou Wang (cut-out animation)
1989  Sun Wu Kong Yu San Jian Bao Bei (I don't think this is from SAFS?)

Screenies (prelim. filtering):

1958  Zhu Bajie eats a watermelon
Notes: I know for a fact that this was aired on Danish TV, and likely in other European countries, in what appears to be superior quality to what I've been able to dig up. So a better VHS recording might be out there somewhere.

1958  Huo Yan Shan (puppet movie)

1980  Ding Ding Zhan Hou Wang (cut-out animation)

1989  Sun Wu Kong Yu San Jian Bao Bei
Notes: Not a SAFS production?? Any info on this cartoon is appreciated.

That's all for now, I'll post again when there's something substantial happening. It might be a while, but Nezha and Ginseng Fruit SHOULD happen...

You could try demuxing the ts with tsmuxer and mux into an mkv with mkvmerge. Remember to set the correct framerate etc. This has solved similar problems for me more than once.

It happened about 10 times in a row, appears to work normally again now...

This error currently ALWAYS happens as described above.

Ok, I seem to be permanently getting an error now when clicking on 'first unread post' for esb:r thread, not the same ady quoted though. Clicked away before I remembered to grab a screenshot but will do later if needed.
