Yep!
Yep!
Oh, you did note that… would you buy it? 😄
Well, you can find all my projects on Fanres, while Star Wars related projects would be posted here as well.
someone upload the Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope - The Darth Editous on the spleen.
you should watch this… 😉
thats why adywan make his versions of star wars.
Tell me more about this… I’m so involved with HP that my mind may barely contains further info! 😄
Well, I have upgraded to a powerful PC few months ago - about ten times faster than old one… so I’m ready on the hardware side… now I have to find time, and a lot of HDD space I’m lacking lately! 😉
If so, there is a desperate needing to record Harry Potter saga - it would be broadcasted today, tomorrow and on Monday (2017 May 27, 28, 29), on Freeform - http://freeform.go.com - schedule: http://ew.com/tv/2017/05/26/memorial-day-weekend-tv-marathons-2017
The only requirements are that the movies should be full screen 16:9, and the recording should be 1080i/p, a bit-perfect copy would be preferable, but an high quality capture will do.
HP 7 (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1) is the most wanted, but the others would be welcome as well!
Thanks in advance!!!
@Beber: AFAIK, HP 1 HDTV is 100% open matte, so technically this version would be 99.8% open matte and 0.2% cropped!
@Papai2013: sorry, you are right, but with all those sources I forgot to credit you, please forgive me! First post edited to reflects your help (both here and there), thanks again!

ATTENTION! The whole saga open matte is available as web streaming, so this project is not needed anymore.

Notes:
The fullscreen DVDs of HP 1,2,4,5,6 are 1.33:1 open matte, but, apart in rare cases where there is a bit more image (and a lot less), they are in practice contained within the 1.78:1 frame; for this reason - and also because they are low res - they will not be taken in consideration
HP 3 on DVD is pan & scan; on HD is mainly pan&scan but has more image than fullscreen DVD on both sides, even if cropped in comparison to widescreen; it retains few lines of image more on top and bottom
HP 6 is the same, but retains a bit more few lines in comparison; actually, this is applicable only to pan&scan scenes; there are many scenes which are open matte, can’t quantify them for the moment, but are not surely scarce like ep. 7
HP 1 2 3 4 6 do need IVTC, while 5 does not; HP 8 has some residual deinterlace artefact; HDTV would benefit of deblocking, denoise, and a grain plate, as well as the WEBdl, even if for the latter difference is less evident
HP 6 7 8 have logo that would be wiped away using a second (or third) source
HP 7 best currently available version is 720p - a 1080i/p HDTV would be very welcome!
HP 8: an eventual “IMAX” reconstruction could be taken in consideration as a side project
HP 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 HDTV and HP 5 WEBdl would be used as main sources
Of course, the usual 5 languages (audio and subtitle tracks) would be added.
Thanks to:
babouin for HP 6 1080i, HP 8 1080i, other episodes, general help
nightstalkerpoet for two HP 7 SDTV, general help
maksnew and vouka for HP 7 720p, HP 8 720p
Papai 2013 for HP 6 SDTV

…still needed…
Darth Solo, so sorry… sincere condolences…
The goal of this project is to preserve the entire Disney Animated Canon up to Fantasia 2000, with all of the details of the cels, in full 4K.
OK, understood. So you have all those titles on 35mm films, in good shape, and a film scanner, or at least the means to scan them all, right?
this massive community-wide effort will restore the following titles for 4K Blu-Ray, preserving all of the detail in the original cels. All of these titles have the 1989 Walt Disney Classics logo before them.
Please explain better, so that even a non-English native speaker like me could understand.
Thanks!
Interesting! Keep an eye on that thread, and keep us informed! 😉
To whom it may concern: I would be back on projects soon; sadly, even with a new PC, the encoding time is still quite high - maybe because now I raised the bar, and attempting to actually do an encode that would last few days, while before may have lasted for weeks… for example, planned HP saga encoding time would take from three to four weeks, only of encoding time 24/7!
During that time project working would be impossible… that’s why a second PC would solve the question - one to work actively on projects, and, once ready, the second used just for encoding; add to that the new 4TB HDD is almost full!
So, if someone kind enough would donate a good workstation with plenty of HDD space, I’m here! 😄
Nope! I’ve found on Youtube, chap name’s Chazz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vA9I8_lwcb0 - did a nice job, so I’ve decided to use his dub.
I started to redesign the covers (and disc label) from scratch; I’ve taken inspiration for the layout (as many here and out of here) from the minimal design of the Criterion covers - I know, not the most original, I must admit, but I think final result is indeed quite interesting; of course, I’m waiting for your opinions.
Inner cover is the same of the outer one - I was tired to design specular version of the outer cover, add to this I’m lazy, too 😉 - apart it replace the sinopsys and features with the chapter list; disc label use the same front cover art. I’ve tried to keep everything as much minimal as possible.
Each release would get its own post; they will be posted whenever ready.
I can, of course, but I prefer this 😄 nice work, don’t you think?
The original audio tracks would be used for the project, don’t worry…
Now, focus on video, and tell me your opinion.
Mixed the two sources to get the best possible quality - increased details, lower noise; sadly, as they have different color grading, and low bitrates, the logo (actually, the TWO logos) are barely visible in few instances… but if you think that main source is 720p@2000kbps and second is 576p@600kbps, result is not that bad… https://mega.nz/#!56IC0QwL!hgRwt3ynv9Y7vD-w1qm0DJBFxF8zQsKVkejzIhUlz4c
So, if someone is aware of a better source, please drop me a PM!
A member sent me a second source, so I improved the quality:
Version 2.0: http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/210205
video is encoding right now, if there is some interest I would upload it.
In an utopia in blue! 😄
Well, I agree that my memory is not the one it used to be eons ago 😄 but not, I didn’t convert it… probably someone else did, as AXN HD is 25fps IIRC.
