I'm posting to ask if this has a home / is appropriate on this forum / in the IFDB or not.
My first instinct is, "no" - but after working on it for the past month I can't help but look at this as more of a remaster / fanedit / archival project than anything else.
Details on the conversion :
The dvd source has a LOT of different source frame rates which were converted (by various pulldowns) to interlaced dvd (30000/1001 fps) and then cut into the final product. This made converting the interlaced dvd back into its original progressive source framerates an absolute tedious nightmare.
My goal was to retain the highest level of quality possible, fully deinterlace / IVTC while losing nothing, and end up with an x265 progressive vfr mkv.
Because cutting was done AFTER the pulldowns were applied to the source footage, there were many orphaned fields at the beginning and ending of cut segments which I chose to qtgmc into full frames rather than remove. All the 60 fps source (encoded on the dvd as 60i) was also qtgmc'd, and all the rest was cleanly deinterlaced/ivtc'd/weaved.
This was accomplished with a 5000+ line avisynth script which itself generated an avisynth script with a monster splice statement (1940+ segments) to create the final product as well as the mkv timestamps text file.
Partly i did this for the challenge, and partly because this is one of - if not - the best "making of" documentaries ever made. I think in many ways it is better and more entertaining than the movie itself.
Please let me know if you think this sort of thing has a place here or not. I think i've poured more than enough blood, sweat, and tears to justify calling this my "remaster"; though it does not contain any new or edited content. My intention was to archive perfectly losing no content and as little quality as possible.
