Babylon 5 1080p 10bit H444 60fps 5.1 DTS
Season 1: Signs and Portents (1994)
Episode 9: Deathwalker
Note: If you want to see a sample, download the first rar and rename it with an MKV extension, or simply drop it onto MPC to play. No compression is used on the archives, only "store" mode.
Note 2: Tweaked settings again starting with Episode 7. Things are looking better overall I feel. These should be the final settings for the rest of the season.
Another personal project I have been working on. Since we may never see a studio remaster of this great old series, I thought I would try to improve it slightly. Have you tried watching the DVD's on a highend TV?
I have upscaled and brought out the colours to be watched on UHDTV's or similar; converted the audio to DTS and also took the 5.1 track and downmixed to 2.0 (2.1) stereo for those that want it.
With a possible new movie - a reboot - coming out in a few years (announced at one of the comic-cons this summer), there is a slight chance we will see proper remasters based off of the original sources with, hopefully, new CG added. Someone suggested I call these "Enhanced" versions, which is true I suppose.
Due to heavy grain and bluring on the original DVD transfers, I don't think much more can be done to these episodes to improve the quality. Episode 4 is the worst I have come across so far. There are some other little problems that show up from time to time like film scratches and fuzz, and vertical blueish streaks I am guessing from a bad lens at the time of shooting.
Best viewed with Media Player Classic with the EVR renderer enabled or the MadVR renderer installed.
VLC 3.0 beta does a decent job of rendering, but it's still not perfect. VLC 2.x should be deleted from your system. ;)
Of course, what ever you watch them on, the episodes will look better than they do now. You just may not be able to see the beautiful deep blacks of space as they should be seen, if you use standard displays.
Hope some of you enjoy these.
