Thanks for the detailed advice. I pushed JW2 through the 9-2 workflow and got a single .hevc file. The 4-2 workflow requests two input files, has something gone wrong? What does the 9-2 do to the biststream DTS-HD track - does that get fixed, or do I still need to replace with an audio track pre-sync'd to 23.976 video?RESET_9999 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2024 12:27 amYou have to change the EL framerate too and not just with the container using mkvtoolnix. You have to write a new bitstream framerate(9-2) for both layers and then build a new P7 ST-DL mkv (4-2).Before I noticed the missing subtitles, I was able to build a remux with the TrueHD track by re-clocking the Italian video fps to 23.976 in mkvtoolnix
english subtitles for the Italian BD: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... drive_linkBut then I noticed the missing subtitles, which feature heavily in the JW films.
No, you can't do that.So now I'm thinking about how I can transfer the DV layer from my 23.976 re-clocked Italian video to the corresponding video in the UK release
The link to subtitles is labelled as 23.976. As my UK Atmos release has an extra second of blank-screen time at the start, I guess I'll have to snip that off to preserve subtitle and audio sync, rather than offset the converted video with a delay. Clearly there's a lot to do to achieve the best-possible version of JW2 and JW1, and it requires forgoing the nice graphic-art stylised subtitles that the English language versions have.
I received the Italian JW1 disc today and notice it's 23.976, so is JW2 mis-authored at 24.0? I'm assuming that 23.976 is the reference, i.e. Italian JW2 has a small speed up, rather than the UK release having a small slow down. Looks like the Italian JW1 also has 1 second less of black screen at the start than the UK version, but at least the framerate matches the UK version.
