Babylon5.S04E13.1080p.5.1.DTS.nfo
Babylon 5 1080p 10bit H444 60fps 5.1 DTS
Season 4: No Surrender, No Retreat (1996 / 1997)
Episode 13: Rumors, Bargains and Lies
Air Date: 5/12/1997
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.
Remember these will need a good CPU and graphics card to play properly!! If they are skipping/freeze framing and audio is out of sync, you need a better CPU and/or graphics card.

Good news for some possibly; If you have an older system, and install the new Windows 10 Tech Preview 9926 that now contains DirectX 12, these encodes may work for you now. My older system I use for testing things could not handle these encodes before (Core i5 650 dual, GTX 760 gfx card). They now play perfectly on that system.

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 it 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, but I will just keep posting as I have been doing.
Spent the last couple weeks tweaking settings and test rendering as I wasn't happy with some of the artifacts on the Season 3 encodes. Beefed up a few of the settings and they may require slightly more processing power; but if they played for you before they should still work just fine.
Due to the heavy grain and bluring on the original DVD transfers (less starting with Season 3), I don't think much more can be done to these episodes to improve the quality. There are some other little problems that show up from time to time like film scratches and fuzz.
Best viewed with Media Player Classic Home Cinema (MPC-HC) with the EVR renderer enabled. Use MadVR renderer if you have a graphics card and TV/Monitor that it will allow you to view these on.
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 view on standard monitors and TV's.
Hope some of you enjoy these.
