fight club

[gavo]

Anyone ever play around with the movie fight club and make a cleanup script or nice export script?

I haven't but it might make an interesting project to keep me busy for a while...

Is your DVD of Fight Club PAL or NTSC? Mine is PAL and I have no access to the NTSC version...

Did this a long time ago. PAL, R2:

mpeg2source("C:\temp\FIGHT\fightclub.d2v")
crop(0,74,718,424)
LanczosResize(704,288)
mipsmooth(preset="moviehq2", show=false)

2 CD XviD with original AC3 sound, IIRC. With x264 you might even be able to keep out the mipsmooth.

My ntsc's :(. Anyways I going to put in it premiere with 23.97 and then force24 so i can edit with it. I'm not sure if I should use square pixals for editing or something else. I also going to reencode to mpeg 2 at as high bitrate as dvd players can support it 9800. So I was thinking maybe the resizeing a bit light. :eek: or I shouldnt do any filter???/

sharpResize(704,288)
mipsmooth(preset="moviehq2", show=false)

Any replys to these questions would be greatly apperciated.

why not use the mainconcept plugin and do (almost) lossless editing. it's just like using cuttermaran.

however, it can have frame ordering problems on some stuff, and it involves using premiere, which nobody should do unless they have to :)

it makes no sense to denoise if you're re-encoding at max bitrate. just do a very mild deblock and let mpeg-2 handle the rest - i think you'll find mpeg-2 excels at such high bitrates, especially on a 2.35:1 movie which has huge black borders. even the mainconcept encoder should be able to handle this.
