The laserdisc commentary is different from the DVD commentary?

I found online someone ripped the John Carpenter and Kurt Russell commentary from the laserdisc of EFNY, and synced it to the current Blu-ray US release (search on PB)

I was wondering if anyone had plans to rip the laserdisc soundtrack mix and sync it too.

The new mixes for the movie have several little problems, not found on the laserdisc. Also the new mix add music to the "what's wrong with Broadway?" scene, that was never at any time in this movie there (you can even hear it's a new addition, as the music track playing there is badly looped), so a LD soundtrack restore would be awesome.

What I found said this .....

"Ripped to WAV from the Esacpe From New York Special Edition DVD and synced to the Blu-ray release. Then Converted to 192k AAC. I think MGM was to cheap to pay Carpenter and Russell royalties so it was left off the Blu-ray release. After matching the waveform of the soundtrack up to the commentary it just needed 2 seconds of silence inserted to the beginning of the track. So it was pretty easy :-)  This is a fantastic and educational commentary track that shouldn't be lost to time!"

Which exact Laserdisc is the one we would need, I could get this done easy enough in between projects.

No, but the laserdisc/DVD commentary isn't on the Blu-ray + the laserdisc soundmix isn't on any version at all apparently.

I did not find any on PB that had the commentary ripped from LD as you said to look for.  All I found was one that used the SE DVD commentary.  Sorry if I misunderstood what your origninal post said.

Indeed, it's a cheap disc I've meant to pick up just to hear the original track. There are several discussions of this on the lddb forums.

i just got back my ld from zeropc. he captured the movie audio for me. i trimmed the beginning, layer change and end to get the pure audio of the movie. let me know if you want it and a good place to put it so you can grab it.

i didn't sync it - i'll leave the task up to you.

audio was captured to wave from the widescreen c.e. ld.

Is it a digital rip of the audio? or just an analog capture?

digital

Great! do you have the raw files as is without any trimming? if so I would love to get those if possible, you could use sendspace, that is what we use to share smaller files.

Thanks
