File:Du skal ære din hustru (1925).webm

Thanks for adding the original version. Btw, I may upload a bit of a better encode of this file, using AV1, like I've been doing for various films on Commons (recently, see File:Glorifying the American Girl (1929) by Millard Webb.webm, File:The Jazz Singer (1927).webm, File:Schuhpalast Pinkus (1916).webm, File:Cyrano de Bergerac (1950).webm, File:Zaza (1923).webm, File:Night of the Living Dead (1968).webm, all (re-)encoded in AV1). I also have the original-quality English copy, so I may combine that with the Danish intertitles (re-edit it, that is) if that improves quality, too. (Edit: looks like re-merging the original intertitles with the better source will improve the file. Incidentally, I will deal with the duplicate-frame problems by figuring out the duplication pattern and setting the proper framerate, which we can do since we're not within the DVD/BD standard — and which I do with some of these other videos.)

@D. Benjamin Miller I've been holding off switching to AV1 because it means the (source) file will be unplayable for Safari users, but you're welcome to do what you think is best. At some point I'd like to get around to adding subtitles for a bunch of these, so if you ever run into subtitle sync issues with reuploads, let me know and I'm happy to help with that.

How much success have you had with cadence correction? I ended up doing that with Nosferatu I think, but when I've looked at doing it with other works, some had unclear pulldown patterns and I got worried it might end up dropping frames. hinnk (talk) 09:37, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

For cadence correction: I manually examine the original video to figure out the frame duplication pattern, and then write a script to generate a pattern for shuffling frames using ffmpeg to produce my intermediate file. D. Benjamin Miller (talk) 14:00, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

The Cocoanuts is a 1929 pre-Code musical comedy film starring the Marx Brothers (Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and Zeppo). Produced for Paramount Pictures by Walter Wanger, who is not credited, the film also stars Mary Eaton, Oscar Shaw, Margaret Dumont and Kay Francis. The first sound film to credit more than one director (Robert Florey and Joseph Santley), it was adapted to the screen by Morrie Ryskind from the musical play by George S. Kaufman. Five of the film's tunes were composed by Irving Berlin, including "When My Dreams Come True", sung by Oscar Shaw and Mary Eaton. Principal photography began on February 4, 1929, at Paramount’s Astoria studio, and it premiered on May 23, 1929, at the Rialto Theatre in New York.

Transformers Discussion

I think we're dealing with a 12 year old here...maybe less. I'm trying to be kind, but this one's a challenge! Buffs (talk) 21:42, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

Let's please be nice, I imagine I probably wouldn't react well if I came across a comment like this, despite the circumstances. I appreciate how patient you've been with them in the FFD.

I've been trying to think if there's a way to address this that results in something other than a few more frustrating threads like this and then an admin jumping in with a CNH/CIR block. They seem really attached to getting this Draft:Spectra Prime: Rise of Algorithm thing going, maybe if WikiProject Transformers has something going on, they could be persuaded to direct some of this enthusiasm in that direction? hinnk (talk) 09:55, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
