[nOmArch]

well i've got a tiny bit of cleaning up to do on the menu but i'll finish that later today.

then its just a question of finding someone to torrent or rapidshare it.

anyway i should be able to send discs out to people tomorrow or tuesday.

 

[boon23]

I am in Europe too, if you rather wanna send it to me

just giving it a quick watch and the resize seems to have played merry hell with the interlacing on some of the workprint/video clips.

damn, might have to release this initially as PAL unless i can frameserve the resized file into CCE and deinterlace the entire file, dunno if this'll work though. or i could deinterlace all the extra scenes and then replace the ones already in my womble project and then reencode again i have no idea whether this would work or not either.

:-( :-(

EDIT: ok im trying method 1 VDubMod -> CCE and deinterlacing the entire file, i'll know by half nine if its worked or not.

 

[nOmArch]

well that seemed to work ok, just running it through DGPulldown to fix frame rate and then i'll know if everything is back on track!

 

[5acrifice]

Please to God upload this ASAP.... I have been waiting for you to say complete!!

 

[nOmArch]

Well first a decision needs to be made. i cant seem to fix the deinterlacing problem. after running it through the filter its still pretty bad, heres a pic to show what i mean.

It doesn't look quite as bad as that when the picture is moving, and it is fairly intermittant probably about 4 or 5 minutes of the overall running time.

that said im not that happy with it but what i want to know is do i release the PAL version which is nasty line free or just go with the 'its a workprint version' and release the NTSC version?

 

[5acrifice]

Why not both?
i'd get both

 

[nOmArch]

PAL and NTSC version are both done, just need to be authored and burnt. The PAL version looks so much better!! (only the affected scenes)

 

[5acrifice]

PIF me both and I'll send them out!!!

Or uploading is cool :-D

 

[ReverendBeastly]

I'm really glad the PAL version is getting released. Since I can play PAL discs, I was really dreading getting a kind of unnecessary NTSC conversion that wouldn't look as good as the source (however little the quality loss may be). Looking forward to this!
