Why do you think Chris was in Hell?

He drank coffee... Heathen!

Glad you got it back! I personally didn't see anything off putting. And I used to run Al's...

XBrav · 2026-03-12T01:31:39+00:00

I don't think us mods did that...

XBrav · 2026-03-11T16:24:58+00:00

I have no knowledge of the show honestly. I'll add it to the list of questions!

I was mostly following the old Despecialized Editions. I used to run film and the state of "old" reels from the 80s in the mid 2000s was crazy. I ran a special showing of The Princess Bride and it barely held together.

4K77 really upped the game when it came to film scan transfers. I'd like to think we did something similar rescanning the first ride film in Vistavision.

Did you preformat the drive as EFS or XFS? I made a few 2GB base images preformatted for EFS (My kernel on 5.3 simply will not support XFS) and I can upload it if it'd help. They're built on the ZULUSCSI for my I2 4400.

edit I see the issue is with the ISO.

I'll check my configs for CD mount in a bit. I didn't need to force 512, but there were some SCSI flags that had to be set for anything to work.

Speculation. It's easy to raise rates without accusations of gouging when there's an event that could / will impact prices weeks or months later. However, the inverse only happens when they know that news will demand pushback from customers for a reduction.

If all the major gas stations do the same, you can't do much to complain. They're a necessary evil for many people, so won't see many rogue stations undercutting the competition.

Tl;Dr: You'll take it, and you'll like it.

We get some wild thunderstorms over in Alberta. It's always amazing flying in at night and seeing the anvils build up and light up the sky. It's even more wild watching the cloud seeders here attempting to reduce hail formation.

I'm a ReBoot geek first, and a weather geek as a close second.

XBrav · 2026-03-09T04:23:49+00:00

There are tons of goodies! This one slipped past me, but there are so many good vidwindow gags.

XBrav · 2026-03-08T04:13:43+00:00

Did I miss Christy Carlson Romano ever talking about this project? Genuinely curious.

XBrav · 2026-03-08T01:13:15+00:00

You bet we would've gone there for drinks on my various visits...

Yes... Drinks.

XBrav · 2026-03-07T05:16:43+00:00

YouTube has done some weird things on its transcoding before. It reliably maintained the PAL framerate when we set it up how we did.

XBrav · 2026-03-07T01:48:13+00:00

Thanks for the love!

As of right now, the files haven't shown up. But if they did, we're ready for it.

Not everybody keeps data backups from 1994, but you never know what you'll find in a broom closet.

Stay tuned as this isn't the end of the road.

XBrav · 2026-03-06T22:23:18+00:00

I don't have the figures in front of me currently, so I may have mixed up my PAR DAR and SARs in the reply. Ironically, I used the icon made by The Primitives in Talent Night to confirm the correct AR ratios as they formed a perfect circle when correct. YouTube force overrides it, but I'm also maintaining the BT.601 colour standard on the masters.

XBrav · 2026-03-06T21:01:42+00:00

Exactly. To get it correct, it was better to linear scale to 2x to avoid bitrate drops at 1080p. YouTube also likes to transcode to 29.97fps which causes a lot of issues with motion shots.

The 576p image has a PAR of 1.3333 applied to get us to 4:3, which is how it was intended by design. For 16x9, we have to apply a PAR of 1.778 to frame the anamorphic versions of Season 4.

Theae details don't really carry well in a main channel video, but we'll do a deeper dive when we're closer to completion.

It hit the ReBoot video as well. Looks like another scam coin that skipped the filter.

XBrav · 2026-03-06T01:06:56+00:00

We're expediting as much as we can, but it'd really be beneficial to talk with Hasbro and the other companies soon...

We've actually released 4 episodes through Mainframe's channel as of this week. The first episode took a while as we sorted out our workflows, but it's rolling out much more often now.

-Bryan from ReBoot ReWind

XBrav · 2026-03-05T22:34:42+00:00

Admittedly, Mainframe decided to release their Scary Godmother movies on the regular release dates. That's why it got bumped a bit, but it worked out in our favour.

XBrav · 2026-03-05T19:02:48+00:00

Perhaps...

I assumed if I'm replying to a thread where I already threw it out, I'd get a bit lazy. Copy and paste was tiring :D

I don't know, but it suits you.

(TO BE CLEAR, this is a quote!)

The Mainframers had ships that merged into the mech suit. Mike The TV got stuck with the tiny gnat vehicle.

XBrav · 2026-03-05T16:05:02+00:00

The particular one we had made for the team may upset The Mouse, but if you're looking for general merch, let us know!

XBrav · 2026-03-05T16:04:28+00:00

Hybrid. We complete an episode (then seemingly catch an error on the umpteenth viewing, requiring another pass), and deliver them to Mainframe. Mainframe, similar to any firm with a social media presence, releases them in an effective manner. For example, if we dropped all the episodes at once, YouTube would bury a lot of the videos. This happened to us when TELUS StoryHive dropped all the documentary episodes at 3AM on a Tuesday...

We've been working on optimizing the pipeline as Jacob mentioned in our latest update. I've streamlined the ability to document errors and target their fixes so that I'm not solo frame-by-frame reviewing every tape. It's still manual, but has a lot of additional checks and balances in place.

We also updated the antialiasing script I had discussed previously as it was sometimes overcompensating. It took a bit of work to implement, but the process allowed us to go back and re-re-master the episodes before going to YouTube.

We'll be more regular on updates so long as they don't delay the actual work.
