What am I doing: Just completed a Jeb Bush post in the Random Corner.

Testing differnt mp3 encodes again.

Standard release is: LAME 3.99.5r
experimental release is: LAME 3.99.5n

What is lame3995n? (https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,110880/)

It's an extension to Lame 3.99.5.
Other than with my recent variants it does not focus on a constrained vbr mode. In the first place it improves upon known issues with standard Lame.

Issue Class 1

a) For the first long block after a series of short blocks the psy model is lacking information. This can have an audible effect as with the 3.2 sec. issue of the eig sample.
b) Long blocks are used for tonal parts in the music. It can happen with a long block that the music isn’t pretty tonal. This is the case for the lead-voice sample for which Lame behaves badly.

lame3995n takes care of both issues. Just choose your -V level the usual way and you’re done.
For -V5, -V4, -V3, -V2, -V1, -V0 it comes at an extra cost of about 1 kbps. lame3995n -V2 takes 191 kbps for my test collection of various pop music (versus standard Lame -V2’s 190 kbps).

Issue Class 2

a) The quality of harpsichord music falls behind that of other music. See for instance the last 128 kbps mp3 listening test: the only sample with a result below 4.0 was a harpsichord sample (the vast majority of samples was rated ~4.5 or better which is great IMO for a 128 kbps setting). Worst sample I know for this kind of problem is harp40_1.
b) Very tonal parts in the music can have a bad quality. herding_calls and trumpet_myPrince are examples for this.


the N branch should be mostly for vocal music.
really need to ABX encodes before commiting to using it as the sole encoder for archives.

I've been liking AAC as of late. Lossy compression that retains frequencies past 20kHz before deteriorating. Almost lossless. But a quater fo the size.

I use AAC for my mobile a lot. And general playback if I keep the files on my PC.
Externals get the lossless files.

But playing with MP3 since a majority of the forum loves it.
Making spectrograms because they love pseudoscience too.

Is not AAC lossless, that can just be synced with an iPhone, or other Apple products?

Is not AAC lossless, that can just be synced with an iPhone, or other Apple products?

AAC is an encoder that can be lossy and lossless.

Lossless encodes get ALAC filetype. Lossy encodes get m4a filetype.

Correction.

.m4a (extension) is the file container.
It can contain either lossy or lossless formats.

lossy = AAC = Advanced Audio Coding
lossless = ALAC = Apple Lossless Audio Codec

For maximum compability, encode your format to .m4a container.
Most players (software/hardware) will expect it.

For raw AAC, you need to set special command so players know it's just raw AAC.

They can both be synched with Apple products.
But they're not limited to that alone.
You can use software managers to automate your processes to keep your device and your music library "synched" but with OS'es like Windows, you're not restricted to having to use only "sync". With Windows, you are allowed to copy/move files as you please. Create new folders, rename files, select specific files for transfer, etc.
With sync, you are absolutely limited.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say, but I'm tired ok? I can't do the thinking right now.

I'm tired also; heading off to bed. Have a good night.

I'm wondering.. can a Blu-ray be screened in a huge theater screen?

At the end, isn't a DCP the same as a Blu-ray, just with more picture mbps?

Just because I'm day dreaming as always. I love my theater. The screen and surround are fantastic. It's a experience I don't get home. And I was wondering, if I was rich and could rent one screening sala, if my Blu-rays could be screened with no problem.

I guess if one Blu-ray AR is 2;40 it can also be fit easily, right?

Possibly. But you'd notice the difference.

DCP, Digital Cinema Package, has a video bit depth of 12.
DVD/BD have only 8.
The future UHD-BD will have up to 10.

DCP's can be in 2k and 4k, too.

The colorspace of a DCP is normally XYZ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIE_1931_color_space#Construction_of_the_CIE_XYZ_c olor_space_from_the_Wright.E2.80.93Guild_data).
Whereas BD is limited to only YUV12 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YUV).
The scale for colorspace from least to most goes:
YV12 -> YV16 -> YV24 -> RGB -> XYZ

The chroma subsampling of all DVD and BD is 4:2:0 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroma_subsampling#4:2:0).
DCP's with XYZ colorspace have a full 4:4:4 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroma_subsampling#4:4:4).

It would essentially be upscaling and would be very noticeable.
The colors would look pale and lack details. Especially if the movie has been mastered with lots of noise reduction, losing even more details.

It would be better to buy a screen projector and set up at home with that.
Any size you blow up to at home will be much less noticeable than you would blow up to cinema screen.

If you were that rich and wanted to rent a room, I'm sure you'd be rich enough to buy prints or even rent prints. Be it celluloid or digital.

If you really wanted, dream bigger, and get an authentic IMAX theater rented out to use their blow up technology. ;)
Their proprietary technology is astounding. Especially their 3D enhancement for movies not filmed in 3D but get released in 3D anyway.

The digital/electronic press kits ("EPK", you'll see a lot of game sites offer them to fans for fansites) may contain DCPpro or ProRes video trailers.
But most often pictures offered to fans for any sort of fansite or avatar creation, etc.
DCPpro and ProRes are a lot closer to BD with excessive bitrates. They're most often 8bit in 1080p resolutions. Sometimes anamorphic (1280x1080, stretched to 1920x1080). Most often with a chroma subsampling of 4:2:2. Which makes it better if you're going to convert those to video for bluray releases, etc.
I think TV broadcasts will also use these formats, too.

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

If I win the lottery, getting a mini-IMAX theater in my home is the first thing on the list.
Complete bluray collection, import blurays from all over the world for the best version of any movie.
And futureproof it for the UHD-BD line of movies and whatever else new home media they want to make.

So, you mean I think I'd notice the difference somehow? I mean, my cinema already has beautiful screenings in DCP but it is not 4k, it's 2k and it looks good enough, so why would a Blu-ray look any different? Maybe there'd be a tiny difference but I think it's just that it has way more megabites per sec, and the bit depth you mention, that adds more color. It's just that I've always wanted to see movies I like in a great theater screen. Movies that are made in 2.40 and in a cinema screen you get to see it in all its glory.

Also, I do know about ProRes, I have trailers in ProRes, to me, it's like Blu-ray quality but with more bandwith/mpbs. They weight a lot. I have a trailer which gives me problems to convert to true 1920x1080 and to delete the audios and leave just the stereo.

There would be an extreme difference. The specs for DCP are far greater than BD.

BD: 8bit, YUV, 4:2:0,1080p,
DCP: 12bit, XYZ, 4:4:4, 2K/4K

The video bit depth makes a huge difference.
Authentic 12bit video will look richer in color and details over 8bit. Given the right environment (theaters).
DCP for home needs to be converted to YUV colorspace. Which will lose some details.

Low end of the colorspace:
YUV 12 <-Bluray
YUV 16
YUV 24
RGB 24/32
XYZ <- DCP
High end of the colorspace:

From XYZ to YUV12, there's an extreme loss in colors.
It will be absolutely noticeable.

It's not just about aspect ratio.
They can do whatever on theater screens.

For The Dark Knight/Rises, they played it just like you see on bluray.
2.40 / 1.78 switching.
The actual IMAX scenes are not 1.78. They're 1.43:1. For non-IMAX theaters, they just crop to 1.78.

It's not going to be "tiny".
Movies to bluray get severely compressed from their studio masters. It's about 80-90% compressed from original masters.

Even on PC, we can't properly view the DCP's.
Most monitors are 8bit, or even 7bit to begin with. So whatever bitdepth we start with, it all gets lowered to match the monitor.
So even with all the 10bit or 12bit video out there, we're still seeing delapitated 8bit (or 7).
LAV Filters and others have been updated to read teh XYZ colorspace, but even that gets resampled for playback on standard PC systems.

You would need to buy an actual 10bit monitor to view the actual details for a DCP trailer converted to 10bit/YV24.

Theaters also use DCI-P3 for a color primary.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCI-P3
The "tiny" little triangle in the wide spectrum of possible digital colors is what BD uses: Bt.709/Rec709.

The greater color primaries to use are: BT.2020 or DCI-P3.
But that's not a standard for home entertainment anywhere.
The most we'll see is BT.2020 from the UHD-BD coming out.

So I guess, in the scenario that I was rich enough to rent a theater, then I would have enough money and power to rent a DCP copy of any movie I want from the distributors with the help of the cinema, right?

Writing.

I have a trailer which gives me problems to convert to true 1920x1080 and to delete the audios and leave just the stereo.

It depends on the software you're using.
It helps to know what to do.

Crop first then resize.

If you mean "true 1920x1080" to crop black borders but still make it "Full HD" (1920x1080 active resolution), then it's not 2.40:1/2.35:1/2.39:1 AR.
It would be 1.78:1.

ProRes doesn't do anamorphic. They're Full HD 1920x1080. You just need to crop black bars at top and bottom.

DVCPro trailers are often anamorphic.
1280x1080 needs to be resized to 1920x1080, with any cropping needed.

If it's anamoprhic DVCPro you're trying to convert to 1080p, start with the aspect ratio.
I converted an anamorphic trailer for The Witch which has an AR of 1.667:1, so I had to do some math to figure out resize to get original aspect ratio.

So I guess, in the scenario that I was rich enough to rent a theater, then I would have enough money and power to rent a DCP copy of any movie I want from the distributors with the help of the cinema, right?

Yes.
It would be much better over any bluray.

Remember, not all blurays get mastered well at all.
There's a lot of crap jobs that are just automated processes.

Take the case of The Mummy (1999).
The movie was transferred best to HD-DVD as it wasn't DNR'ed like the BD transfer.

Depending on the film, it's probably not a digital release and still on film (celluloid film).

I use MKVToolnix to dump the thing onto MKV, doesn't work well, the final result. The audio is digital noise and the video is really badly stretched. The trouble is with the 1280x1080 thing, I want to make it 1920x1080p so I can make screencaps out of it. And delete the other audio channels and leave just the stereo of the trailer. I don't wanna crop the black bars.

Also, about the DCP, would the distributors in Spain really have DCP of any movie I dare to ask though? I wonder. If not, I think making DCPs isn't too hard for them, and I'm sure for a price.. don't think distributors would be willing to give me stuff for my own private viewings unless I had billions of dollars and loads of money to give. As for DCP, another good example would be BACK TO THE FUTURE (which DCP has been captured to Blu-ray by fans), the digital DCP of the movie had a bit of grain and wasn't DNR'd to hell. So yeah. You know Universal has a decent old but not grainny and shitty DNR'd picture of BTTF but hasn't ever offered it, not even for the 30th aniversary even though it'd just take the job of deleting the DNR.

Remuxing to MKV isn't really advisable for DVCPro/ProRes trailers.
With the right players, it should be able to stretch to 1920x1080 correctly.
I use MPC-HC with LAV Filters and it always plays back anamorphic trailers in Full HD.
Some players aren't designed well so lack a lot.
Good players should be able to play the original .mov's correctly.

Chances are, i got the same trailers so you can PM me about it and I can take bit-accurate screencaps. Without any butchering that any media player might do.
Depending how the media player is set up, it may alter the original image (brightness, levels, colormatrix/etc).

The digital noise also sounds like a problem with the media player.
LAV Filters should be able to play back the PCM audio in the DVCpro trailers.
But you can use FFMPEG to take the audio out and mix to a stereo track.

If you want your theater to play older movies, your best bet is to establisgh community interest.

The Famous Players theater chain here have a program where they play old movies once a month.
They'll pick 1-3 movies to play at select venues for a week.
How they get them, probably from the same way they get new movies from studios. Or archive facilities.

DCP is just the format for transferring film to digital.
I know about the BTTF DCP you're talking about.
The only thing to trump that is a set of the original film reels.
The biggest reason to put it in digital format is to remaster it. But that's a whole different field. Any fan remastering it will do it to their own preference, with no actual reference to original intended colors the director wanted.
There are a lot of fan edits that will desaturate colors where the director wanted saturated colors, etc.
But powerhousing studios for mastering for bluray are shady, too. As we've seen a lot.

So the best bet, strike concerns with the theater with a strong community behind you for some sort of monthly event to feature older films.
They'll work out the details with their licensed distributors and do things on their end as legal as possible.
You can talk to them about DCP and stuff, but they'll nod their head and then go ahead and do what they were going to do.

For events like Halloween, they open up to voting for what movies to play.
They give a list of movies they're legally allowed to feature and make a poll.

Oh, but VLC and MPC, both players I use, do stretch the aspect ratio of the trailer correctly, it's just when I do screencaps, doesn't come out quite rite, but it doesn't matter, I'll just wait when the Blu-ray comes out to screencap the movie. You telling me VLC and MPC don't make accurate screencaps? Because they both look like they do good screencaps to me.

About trying to get my cinema to screen old movies. You see, I've said it before, and I'll say it again.. I'm literally kinda in love with my cinema, the new one that came last year. I think it's really great. Quality wise, the screens and surrounds were mostly there, some new, some old, but still I'm in love with how it is; I get there a experience I don't get at home. Both picture quality and surround and I just love going to the cinema to watch movies, I just don't go as often because of money and laziness (the cinema is 20 minutes walking from home).. though honestly it's more money than anything. I've already been like, 2 times this month, and I'm not sure I can go another to watch Zootopia again and Deadpool. That'd be BOTH this week and I'm not sure it's possible! But the thing I was talking about, why do I love the cinema; not only because of the quality of the screenings, but because the schedules/movies schedules are good, you see, they've added English movies which is just the latest thing I needed to adore it. Their FB page is awesome and most of the times they really do reply honestly to qustions. I always asked to get Zootopia in both 3D and English, and guess what? I got both! And I think they are adding Deadpool in English which is just EVEN more wonderful!

So, sorry for going over the rails, point is, they still do have 35mm projectors (they told me, I've seen them around, and I'm aware they did screen Interstellar in 35mm) and I asked them if there were plans of ever using them. And they said, maybe one day if a special screening happens, yeah, they didn't throw them, they kept it around. I'm pretty sure they'd do screenings of old movies if only there was demand for it; and an idea, but so far nothing!

As for cinema that screens lots of old movies - there exists one in Spain, in Barcelona (where my brother lives) called PHENOMENA and it's GREAT. Their catalogue is AMAZING. They alternate new movies in the best quality and sound picture (even better than my cinema) with some old movies in 35mm, in English subtitled, or DCP. Hell they've even shown 2001, Interstellar and The Hateful Eight in 70mm. They are wonderful, any awesome old movie you wanna see? You get it there. It's my dream to go there, and I plan, whenever I go see my brother. They've screened Lawrence of Arabia, too. HELL, they even screened LADY AND THE TRAMP in 35mm once! I dreamed to go see it but I couldn't! THAT'S a great cinema for movie lovers. The kind of cinema I must go too. It's even designed to be like the old cinemas.

Just check out their program! http://www.phenomena-experience.com/programacion-mensual/02-2016.html

Oh, but VLC and MPC, both players I use, do stretch the aspect ratio of the trailer correctly, it's just when I do screencaps, doesn't come out quite rite, but it doesn't matter, I'll just wait when the Blu-ray comes out to screencap the movie. You telling me VLC and MPC don't make accurate screencaps? Because they both look like they do good screencaps to me.

Yet you can't get the aspect ratio correct. That doesn't scream accurate or good.

With VLC, default settings should make them good, aspect ratio notwithstanding.
But people can go into advanced settings and change the driver and other things about VLC which would alter the image.

As for MPC-HC, if FFDShow is used and filters are applied, then that would alter the image.
I've seen it plenty of times where BT.601 color matrix is applied (it's designed for SD content like DVD) when it should be BT.709 (for HD resolutions).

Screencaps in media players don't work exactly like how it's shown. Instead they take the original resolution in the video.
This happens when taking screenshots of DVD, too.

No idea how to get aspect ratio correct with media players for screencaps.
Aside from just hitting "printscreen" and then cropping to get just the video.
But that won't always work. It depends on a lot of other factors if it doesn't work.

You do so much tech talk about video encoding, did you study something about it, or have you really learnt all just by years of hobby? Because I can't barely understand a thing when you get TOO technical about color, numbers and stuff.

As for the screenies, I'll just wait til the Blu-ray for the movie is out

You are right, honestly. But if you get maths with it, I lose. XD

Years of learning for hobby.

The information is out there. It's just a matter of learning from everyone making mistakes (which there are a lot of ).

It started out with just converting to DVD.

I am more of a sound editing sort of person, it comes along with composing music, or if I'm editing files from gamerips and such.
I've never really messed with video, or editing the sort.

There's a lot of fun reads out there for audio as there is video.

I highly recommend going to the HydrogenAudio forums to see all the new people show up with their wild notions.

Ask me anything and I could probably give a detailed answer. But as for the recording side of things I've never had any exposure to that until now. It's been a good experience learning.

I went to the screening for Conqueror of Shamballa where essentially they ran a DVD on a big screen.
It worked fine.
Of course, if you've never seen a theatrical copy, you might not know you're missing anything.
I remember going to a screening of a 35mm print of Laputa. I'd seen it for years on some pretty good sources, including laser disc. I'd had the art books to compare. I thought I knew what it looked like.
I hadn't. I hadn't known what it looked like at all.

That sounds like I'm saying it both would and wouldn't work.
You'd be right.
It depends less on the format than on the film, when you've last seen it, how you've seen, and what you want out of the experience.

They're non-spoiler. Promo material.
Or are spoilers if you point them out if you've seen the episodes.
But generally, the stills are meant to be looked at after you watch the episode.

The Walking Dead album definitely has spoilers if you have not watched the season up to date.
Last season has spoiler stills, blatant ones but that's how TWD is. You either live or die.
X-Files doesn't strike me as a show that merits much spoilers. It's not like they're going to kill off Mulder or Scully. :rolleyes:

Uploading the Aliens Blu-ray isolated score for Skelly

Both discs? Or just the isolated for now?

Not until he asked me about an hour ago If I had done it :p


Both discs? Or just the isolated for now?

I did just the iso. When that's what I was describing 2 weeks ago, you said "gimme". I gave.

Ah I See.

I did just the iso. When that's what I was describing 2 weeks ago, you said "gimme". I gave.

Works for me! Lookin' forward to it

JHFan did a nice edit using all available sources.
Except for that one track no one can seem to get their hands on in prestine condition.
I think he only mentioned it in the request section that he worked on a project about it.

Between the iso and the VS Deluxe, the only other viable sources to use is the one rare label release, but always found in poorest conditions.

Two most-discussed threads, DAK was in all of them.
Thread 186402
Thread 91096

I believe someone upped an edit of the iso scores, too.

Considering the iso scores are only in AC3 only, I never really bothered to pursue these outside edits.
Ideally, Delaycut (http://www.videohelp.com/software/delaycut) would be the best thing to cut the iso score into tracks so there's zero transcoding.
But given most people don't play AC3 (or even know they can play it), transcode to fLossy would be best bet.

Well.... Yes and no. I can extract the audio just fine. The problem is the script I use to extract the files from the BNk archive doesn't properly name the files as they are in the archive. So I get a lot of numbered files like music01, music02, music 03 etc. but when I look at the ID txt file, they have proper file names. And the script is supposed to name the files according to proper ID txt file. I'm not about to go through and rename every single audio file... I've already contacted the guy who wrote the script to see if he would help.

Is the original soundtrack addon on Steam not the full OST then?

Didnt even realize the soundtrack was up there...

Playing with the 5.1 sound system.

Decided to see what refresh rates my TV can do.

Apparently the Philips HDTV can do 24Hz.
ReClock reports: 23.999 Hz (DDR)
So the small difference of 23.976 -> 23.999 is so miniscule that this should be awesome for movies.

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------

The NVidia control panel shows a Hz rate of "23" so tried that.
Close enough, ReClock reports: 23.970 Hz (DDR)
So a difference of .006 is soooo much better. :awsm:

Only thing is... I got movies in actual 24fps. So I'll have to monkey around for those movies.
The same goes for any content I have in 25fps.

I wonder if there's a batch script I can make that will automate the refresh rate switching rather than waiting forever for the NVidia CP to load.

I thought movies were usually 30 fps.

No.

Filmed in 24 fps. (24000/1000)
For DVD, they're in 29.97 (30000/1001).
They're really 23.976 will "pulldown" applied. Just duped frames to achieve 29.97.

For BD, they're converted to 23.976. (24000/1001)

That's all progressive formats. Full resolution from top to bottom.

Interalce is horrible. It's worse.
You can get up to 59.94 interlaced on DVD (60000/1001). :notgood:

So they're more around 20-25 fps.

Didnt even realize the soundtrack was up there...

I'll buy it and upload it. If it isn't full you can continue ripping. Not sure how many tracks there are.

---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------

Seems someone already beat me to it: Thread 199993

So they're more around 20-25 fps.

They're exactly 23.976.
24fps with a pulldown/telecined.

DVD's should have the pulldown removed.
"InVerse TeleCine" (IVTC)
When converted to "xvid" or some other small codec, they shouldn't be converted to 29.97.
That's what people do wrong all the time on public torrent sites and largely why I never go to public sites for movies.

The only stuff in actual 30 (29.97 with pulldown) is content filmed for TV in North America.

Convert DVD's to 23.976.
Convert BD's to 23.976.
Convert any interlace crap to 23.976 progressive. But at half the resolution since with interlace, you always get half the effective resolution.

Another thing people do wrong is convert 1080i (Interlace) to 1080p (Progressive).
1080i must go down to 720p or lower.

Any place that has it at 20 or anything other 23.976, are wrong and you should find a better place.

25fps is native frame rate for UK and other PAL countries.
But most UK TV gets converted to 50i (interlace) on bluray, so you convert that to 25p (progressive).

You'd do a lot better using SVP or InterFrame to interpolate to 29.97.

Working on creating the proper film mix of the opening titles from Black Hawk Down

Trying to compose a track that captures a similar feeling of the Forest Temple music from Ocarina of Time.

I emphasize "trying to". Maybe it's not possible, or so easy to convey a similar feeling in a different track; it has to have a similar melody, structure, flow, etc.

Anyone knows how to split a single .flac file into multiple? I'm trying to make a cur file, but I keep messing up. Any help?

Working on creating the proper film mix of the opening titles from Black Hawk Down

That's a movie I keep forgetting to grab.
I have not seen it since the VHS days and remember there's a lot of actors in it that just weren't so well known as they are today.

Yes. Alive 1997 is a weird case of it.

Yes. Alive 1997 is a weird case of it.

If you got the .cue file, load the .cue into foobar2000 and hopefully it will have been created correctly that everything's already in tracks.
Then right-click and convert tracks.

Yes. Alive 1997 is a weird case of it.

I figured that was the case. I've gotten a few torrents like that. Unless for an actual purpose, why some moron would do that is beyond me. I just split the files up using Audition, as I have it running almost every time I'm on my laptop.

I just been sitting here wondering how to organize the externals now...

This is like my only chance to really sort them out...

Should I put all the musicals, foreigns, and 24fps movies on it?
I should throw all the "open matte" versions on there, too. Along with their OAR counterparts.

OR! Maybe I should start with putting all series/franchises on there.
All the Scary Movies in one place. All the MCU's in one place. Then I can do a hardcore Marvelthon.

OR should I start with all the 7.1 audio movies, along with the TrueHD and Atmos movies that way I can keep it away from the bluray player...........

...And consist of some of the best. ;)

I decided to put all bluray audio rips on there.
There's a lot of rips of just bluray audio. DTS formats (DTS-HD MA mostly, some DTS:X rips), TrueHD formats (including Atmos), FLAC conversions from LPCM.
This is for the main audio features. Largely as a preservation field. Original 7.1 will remain here but the movies will get remuxed with downmixed 5.1 for maximum compatibility.
And end credits will get chopped up.

All bluray special features I've ripped are going on there.
This includes commentary. And isolated scores and that one track from Gravity for "Musicless audio" track.

All full blurays I have not remuxed will go there too.
Have to go through all the .m2ts files and grab whatever featurettes I want to keep.
Troublesome movies like A Good Day To Die Hard with both Theatrical and Extended cuts are staying there until I sort out all the features and remux both versions of the movie.


A Good Day To Die Hard: 2-in-1 bluray

Between the trailers and deleted scenes for AGDTDH, there's a lot of missing content even if you mix the theatrical and extended cut together!
What a sloppy movie.
Theatrical cut has scenes with Mary Elizabeth Winstead but all her scenes have been removed from the Extended cut. :noonecares:
A lot of cool shots of the villains preparing to attack were removed from both cuts of the film and are only in trailers and deleted scenes.
The scene of that one chick on the motorcycle that we see in the trailer, has text all over in the movie and it's a different camera shot as apposed to the clean trailer version. And there's less shirtless scenes of Jai Courtney in both cuts and the deleted scenes than there are in the trailers. Everyone loses on both sides of the fence.

I really want to make an ultimate cut using all available sources to keep the movie extended but with Mary Elizabeth Winstead inserted back into the film.
I picked a random chapter from both cuts of the movie where they use different cuts.
Using BDInfo, I can see where they use the same .m2ts files for some chapters and other chapters they have different .m2ts files which signifies alternate cuts.
I converted them to lossless .AVI and opened in Sony Vegas then spent an hour or so lining it up and chopping it down to see where the cuts are made, what's different and what's identical.
For some scenes, the shots are different. Like the theatrical will be more zoomed in over the extended cut.
Of course, the extended will add in a few seconds more of an establishing shot than the theatrical cut.
Some of the scenes, the theatrical will add a greenish hue over some scenes. Or it was the extended? bleh.
A million years of work in progress. :laugh:

I want to finish that Interstellar project first before tackling AGDTDH, so that's just going to get cozy on the 5TB external for now. :smrt:



Trailers and all samples are giong on that external.
That will help a lot. I've got lots of trailers and lots of sample videos.
The samples are from open source projects like "Sintel" and "Big Buck Bunny" and "Tears of Steel" in DCP and stuff.
I could never finish downloading the lossless PNGs from their site. The 16bit PNG's total over a TB to download. :S
DCP it is.
Other samples come from video editors, software developers to help test/calibrate monitors, displays, software and test if things are working correctly, etc.

My "work" folder is going in there.
That's where I do all my projects: End credits, 60fps conversions, video experiments, ringtones for the mobiles, assorted audio projects, dvd conversions, fingerprints, game stuff, etc.
Right now the "Audio" folder in the "Work" folder is up to 42GB total. :erm:
I am soooo behind.
Hopefully, this new 5TB external will definitely help isolate things and give a better perspective of where everything is.
And then I can catch up and get others to help. :awsm:
Now that it should be all in one place. :notgood:

Any Interesting Audio End Credits Rips?.... :169:

Agreed!

I was reminiscing the other day about the first time I played the first Silent Hill on PSx/PSOne/PS. (back then it was just called "Playstation", PSx and PS1 came way later.)

There's games on my wishlist I really want to try that are horror.

The most recent psy_horror I got, I think, is Outlast.
I hear that one really got to people when it first came out.
I've not played it yet but got it off GOG.com with DLC. I just have to remember to install it and give it a go.

I have Alan Wake too which I never got a chance to install.

When I get it all consolidated to one place, I'll update my thread with a list and start taking requests based off that list.
I'm considering working with lossy core audio for some movies as they're only available in the lossy formats. Just for sake of completing a series.
I still have to locate Dragonheart 2 on DVD so I can complete that series.
D&D should be ready to complete.
Alvin and the Chipmunks series looks like it's going to be mostly lossy sourced. It's not easy finding the others in lossless audio.

The Conjuring is about ready.
The Good Dinosaur, Trumbo, The Last Witch Hunter, Macbeth, Bridge of Spies.

Sweet, I Eagerly Await That. I Love The Ones I Already Have JW & D&D :D

oooh, just saw rips for some Disney movies in the folder.

I'll have to outsource for these.

These are ones I want to make "complete with sfx" rips.
I could just convert the movie to AAC stereo to listen on my mobile player, but I don't want the movie dialogue/story.
So chopping up the musical numbers as-is in the film.
The sfx gives it more life when you listen to it. The album versions without sfx sound very commercial without much life.
Like radio silence or a classical suite.

I just found the two Fantasia movies in there, too.

The actual morons are those who dismiss the single .flac/.ape/.tak/whatever file… It's not like there's anything wrong with a range rip, quality-wise (nor technically, either). On quite a few sharing-focused boards there are rules demanding that users rip+share single image files; their reasons? Slightly easier management and the folder isn't loaded with a crapload of files (so there's no chance users do not include a track in the archive).
Personally, I don't know why folks seem to "dislike" single image rips so much. :laugh:

Does vinyl have better sound quality than, say cassette or CD?

It hides a lot of mastering errors. For real bad masters from stupid people.
It has an aesthetic sound quality more than a "better" sound quality.

Subjectively, it's better.
Objectively, you can't compare to digital because it's an analogue product.
Ripping and converting to digital requires a lot of finesse. You're pretty much just making a new "remaster" of the vinyl since it's no longer analogue.
The fine line of removing hiss and then losing higher notes that's actually music.

It shouldn't be used for editing really, unless your goal is to create something funky and non-archival.

And it's not a good idea to get all hung up on the format specifics for the digital file either.
Any sample rate over 96kHz can easily be resampled to lower rates and you won't notice the difference.
Resampling has improved a lot over the years. People keeping things in one million kHz are only spreading pseudo scientology. :notgood:
Bit depth actually counts here if it's been captured in higher bit depth. But you can still dither down to 16 and not notice a difference if you play with the various dither algorithms.
Anyone caught distributing 32bit integer/floating-point is a traitor and should be reported immediately. Go full 1984 on them and send them to Soylent Green Inc. for due processing. Stop the myths! Clear the mist! and other propaganda.

The mastering is more important than the output media. So it's less about vinyl or CD (cassettes are almost always the worst of the three...they're analog on a poor storage media,) than it about the process that created it.

Opera News, an outfit that cares about sound reproduction in a very serious way, did a comparison between the two when CD's first came out. Their conclusion was, that all other things being equal (and they never are,) vinyl was slightly better, but only when played back on very high end equipment. For those who aren't spending thousands of dollars for theirs, (and a lot of Opera News fans do,) CD gives you better bang for your buck, in that you get to a higher level of quality with a crappier system than you would with vinyl.
Remember, the upper limit of any playback is first your speakers/headphones, and then your own ears. This always trumps format.

The analog vs digital fight is a battle that makes the mp3 320 vs loseless fight seem like a faux pax over which spoon to use for soup, and I will have nothing to do with it.

Yeah, I was looking at the local Best Buy at their record players and the cheapest was $150 and the others were just double the price.
A good fun, quick gimmick for impulsive buyers.

I want to get one. But mostly for the noise and pops.

I had a wierd dream. I remember it well, but trying to explain to anyone, let alone online, is about as useless as trying to touch the beautiful blue sky.

I want hard-ass proof. :laugh:

I thought those were extinct, at least that's what your ladyfriends said.

Nope, though they were believed to be extinct for a time. They're actually the only species of swamp porcupine, as far as I know, and they spend most of their lives hibernating under a layer of filthy muck, so they can be quite hard to locate.

Filthy Muck, eh ? Well, not the worst term i've heard for it, but close :laugh:

I had a wierd dream. I remember it well

Should try your best to write it down after you wake up.
Start with key words to describe it then you'll eventually start writing it with accurate descriptions over time.
As long as you can guess the thought process on the notes, you'll remember it forever.

After awhile, of logging your dreams, you'll reach a stage where your dreams will continue the very next night like a tv series.

It's pretty common to visit the same placse in dreams.
Like that high school that never seems to end. That shopping mall that has 5 floors and takes a long time to go up/down the escalators. Or the scary, tiny elevators that have room just for one. Or that apartment building you wish you lived on the first floor right by the doors. Or that theater that somehow has hidden passages in the building. :eye: Or that house where you know you never EVER set foot in the basement. :ashine: And of course the elementary school you keep passing but have to hurry because if you linger too long something bad always happens. :erm:

:laugh: One time I had to defend the elementary school against an aerial assault so we all gathered and made a speech about defending the place then ran to the playing field to jump into the fighter planes and get ready to dog fight it out. But then we spent too long making a speech about it and didn't see the enemy appraoching (or hear) through the grey clouds that brewing a storm so we had to duck for cover in the invincible building (why were we defending it again?? o_O) and try to make our way to our planes before getting blown up (like a video game). I never got to the planes. Instead I rant to one of the manual AA gunner seats so that our side can at least try to get into the air for combat.
Then something about a tornado? The storm got too big. Then I woke up. :noonecares:

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------

:laugh: That wasn't an example of continuing dreams the very next night.

But that school is always having something going on.
One time there was an evacuation warning for the city and I was trying to look for someone.
Another time I had to cut by there but didn't want to because I knew there would be a gang there (at an elementary school? it was right beside the high school) and passing very near meant you might run into them and might have to find a way out of their shenanigans.


That super mall I keep going to, it was the same place that had the Queen Alien on display like King Kong at the very center of the mall. My cat and I had to try fight it.
Years later, that mall upgraded to have a huge second building just for a parkade. I HATE being in there because it takes forever to get out. And there's always the risk of getting hit or something else going on. :rolleyes:

One time my friend and I had the same dream. We were in eachothers dream portraying ourselves but were having the same dream.
She lives 3000 miles away.

What does it mean?

It's all about the money. Wherever the cash is, that's where Hollywood goes. But lest we forget Deadpool was made for the relatively paltry sum - by H'wood standards - of $58 million. The film has made $150 million in its first week so it's paid back its production costs and marketing and the film doesn't have any real competition - I doubt Gods of Egypt will rule the box office - until Zootopia opens in March.

But the final Wolverine will be expensive and if it doesn't make megabucks with an "R" that could kill any future adult themed superhero films.

Desperately need space in my HDD, so sadly I'm deleting everything I have in iTunes that I already have in FLAC.

iTunes is pretty and all, and the cover thing is nice, but.. I just mainly use FLAC a lot, and it's never worth having it twice, in ALAC and FLAC.. or just ALAC, no, FLAC is my thing. And stuff. Maybe one day I'll put up a new iTunes collection.

Attempting to edit a DJ set down into individual files, since this particular one would take too much time to use the cue splitting file method. With being over 2 hours and having over 40 tracks, It's going to take me weeks. Considering I'm not familiar with editing, this will certainly be an experience.

Except self-diagnosed OCD. Which isn't a thing.

The only bad thing about Apple Lossless is that it can't properly handle fake 24bit.
Some audio, the average bit depth can be anywhere from 17-23. FLAC will store that correctly in 24bit container with zero bytes for the remaining bits.
ALAC will not do that and you get oversized/bloated file as solid 24bit. Which doesn't improve it or make it better or anything.
A few cases, I've seen average bit depth of 17 and in FLAC it was nice size. But in ALAC, it was double the size for nothing.

If you use iTunes more than anythine else, keep the ALAC and delete the FLAC.
You can always convert to FLAC for... :noonecares: reasons?

My first car was a Hyundai Elantra! 2000 Dark Grey station wagon lol. The thing was hideous, but you always love your first car. It was good up until the transmission went 2 years later. Then my third car was a 2001 Maroon sedan. Not much different, but this one didn't have a radio so I was legit rolling around all summer with a boombox in the front seat, which I powered by plugging it into my AC adaptor via the cigarette lighter. Friends got a kick out of that. 10 or so cars later (I lost count), I'm driving a 2005 Lexus ES 330.

That's actually pretty good deal you got. Just be careful. In my experience (and many teenagers' experiences :p) it's not always best to have a brand new car as your first vehicle. But you seem to be covered ;)

I got a new car because it has to last me for the next 10 years of school. So rather than buy a used car and have to put more money into it than it would cost to buy a new car, I went with a new car. I'm covered completely. Up to $2,000,000.

I'm also not a teenager.. lol.. and am a very experienced driver.
I did add some upgrades, they swapped out the speakers for a 6 set custom reference monitor set I ordered specifically for the car a little while ago, and the stereo system has a FLAC decoder via USB. So I can play my music direct from my phone, or hard drive.

That is...

Well then it was only logical to do what you did ;)

The price of the vehicle went from 21000 to 25000 because of the upgrades I made but, even while I work part time in school I can still afford it. That's why I bought it :P

Cam rips always leak.

Since this is a kids movie, it will never impact the box office results.
Parents will take their kids, if it's 2 kids, that's 4 tickets right there.
And then another screening so the kids can see it with their friends if they set up a group event. BAM more tickets because all the parents will be going. Or just the mom's.

The only thing more secure than a PG-13 rating is a G rating.

There's already cam rips out for Deadpool. And that movie is doing strong in theaters. For an R-rated film.

There's a supply that meets the demand.

Though this camrip didn't leak until it came in South America/Mexico. Ah, latino friends, always defying the law.. just a joke, don't kill me.

Yeah, I know you're right, I was just saying because I know of people/fans who have been expecting the movie for months, or casuals who may just see it and not go to theatres to see it, but then again, this movie was no. 1 in Spain (until this week that Deadpool came along) so I predict it'll pretty much do well in the US, camrip or not

I'll wait for a nice 720p.
And then hopefully someone ups the lossless audio on its own.

I do want the Blu-ray now, too, because the movie has got a lot of beauty frames to screencap.

It saddens me though that we'll get shitty special features. :c Even Pixar has been lacking a bit lately, thought they've been doing more than others.

I think youtube is killing special features.
There's more unique stuff on there than bluray these days.

Nowadays, they rely on re-releasing blurays "with new content!" (really just one new featurette that's only 5min).

I would want a Nintendo 3DS XL for all of the Nintendo games (Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask 3D, Mario games, some others :p) PS3 for Metal Gear Solid games, PS4 for No Man's Sky. :p

Contemplating buying a Nintendo 3DS XL, a PS3, or a PS4..not sure what to do

If you plan on playing games a lot, get the PS4.
It should have updates for a lot of Ps3 games for compatibility.

Plus it's what everyone else is giong to be playing and all new games will be exclusive to PS4 AND it plays bluray.
Futureproof yourself.

PS3 for casual console gaming. Grab the God of War trilogy.

Get the handheld for leisure playing if you're not going to invest lots into gaming.

PS4 if you want to expand your bluray collection.
And get Arkham Knight.

PS4.....UNTIL PS5 COMES. POINTLESS.

If you're referring to the Game Gear, then, okay,

Pointless as by the time you buy 4 and all the shit with it. 5 comes out with a big HAHA GOT U FUCKER!

Uh... WUT!?

Well, today's handhelds suck. Particularly because Nintendo is trying to homogenize handheld and TV gaming into one big thing, and I think it's such a shame. They're putting games on the 3DS that have no business being there - like Hyrule Warriors Legends - and games like Smash Bros. for Wii U take a hit because of it.

Doing the very long process of deleting free space on the externals, then defragmenting them, then deleting free space again as the blocks have re-arranged to free up different blocks so the recently uncovered blocks must get sanitized.

You won't have to buy "PC 2" just to play an up to date game.

Yep. You can upgrade it anytime you want, with anything you want.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/kqi2jtJOEqCoT0AXue3h2DfN7ZtJSNww4rthAXb6LSa3kXWloY 3FgiNoNVNtSywL34VaTR3snkYo2w34OBbFXfvarb4=w426-h240-n

And:

well... start with a good mobo.
Then upgrade to the max it can handle.

Then when newer games come out, upgrade the mobo again so you can upgrade to newest parts.
Newer CPU would be a good start. But save up for those. Those can get real pricy. The worst. But you only need to update those once every 5-10 years.

Graphics cards should be okay even on mobos from 2011.
I got an NVidia GTX 750ti on a 2011 mobo. Haven't looked if I can do a 960 (at least).

The 750 is a very nice card for medium settings on most games. Some games can get up to really high, but they're not fancy games (World of Warcraft is not fancy).

A nice quad-core, discreet cores. 4 actual cores.
Dual-core is okay for medium stuff like watching movies and browsing the internets.

But if you want to game, do video editing, use SVP for frame interpolation, etc. You'll want 4 solid cores.

Dual-core with HyperThreading won't cut it these days. My laptop has 2+HT and it's still slow.

Hyper Threading on a quad is very handy.
And any "Boost" technology is great, too.

For CPU "instruction" sets, you'll want at the very least AVX.
AVX-2 would be stellar.
AVX-512 would be futureproofing.

I still haven't launched the game yet to see how it is.

The game runs on Unreal Engine 4. The audio files are ogg, and they are split, looped and layered. A lot of remix tracks too. But no full tracks. So if someone wants the soundtrack, either pester Disney, or be prepared to do a shit ton of editing.

Mine only has one pak file...

What I mean is when it first launched, it had separate PAK's for the separate mini-games in it.
Then it received an update in the past week or so, which probably changed the PAK all to one file.

At first launch, the game was only 6GB.

It has one PAK now.

Too bad they don't let you downgrade to earlier versions.
