You're going to have to hope someone has vintage TV rips they saved, or else get yourself the appropriate recordings of the problem songs and re-mix them into the existing audio.  A few S4 eps say "Disc Only" on NF streaming.

It's A Wonderful Leap

A Leap For Lisa

I think it might be easier to just have the audio from the episodes and then the PGC for the video. Otherwise I wouldn't have any idea what to do to add in the songs while removing the muzak.

Small update. I might or might not add subtitles to Seasons 2 and 3 since I haven't any idea how to add them to the VOBs.

The individual episodes are also going to be available for those wishing to watch them on a computer. The srts will be archived with the episode in question.

I thought it was established that HULU has the original broadcast versions, with original audio?

Regardless, I have the broadcast versions recorded from the Sci Fi Channel (aired mid/early 2000s) with original music intact.

Theyre the syndicated versions, so the opening credits are not correct in some some seasons.

Im not sure if they have scenes edited out due to syndication

For Season 4? I just need the episodes listed audios only so I can excise the songs and place them correctly.

Season 2 and 3 are on hiatus until next month. Just bought the monitor I've always been wanting to purchase. ASUS PA238Q IPS.

I wish you good luck on this preservation project :-)

If Hulu does have the original versions, I can easily save the FLV files from the site with TubeDigger (I've purchased the program, and it's come in handy on stuff like that), and extract the audio from there. If anyone can confirm that they are the originals, perhaps I can help in that regard, at least.

I was attempting to watch Disco Inferno from HULU and it said they didn't have it due to rights issues.

All the audio is on my computer for Seasons 2 and 3 in AC3 format. What I need now is the exact NTSC episode run times to the millisecond so I can re-time these already. Next month I'll be rejoining Netflix so I can rent the 12 discs in question. Then what I'll be doing with Handbrake is rip individual episodes as high quality .m4v files which will be uploaded via MediaFire and links will be shared in PM with a PasteBin link.

The individual episodes for Seasons 1 and 5 are already uploaded to Mediafire with subtitles embedded. Zero denoising or any other filter applied. This show was shot and film and shall appear to be as film, grain and all.

Season 2-4 discs will be in ISO format.

In fact this is my first project.

That's awesome! I would LOVE to get these! I'll help in any way I can! I only have season 1 on DVD so far and I'm in the US.

Netflix is still a go but in July. Going to be renting Season 2 and 3 on disc from there. Season 4 I'm still going to need the broadcast audio. My apologies for the short hiatus.

Well project is at a stand-still. Needing an audio program which will let me change the timecode and length of the AC3 track from the PAL discs which I have to match with the video of the NTSC DVD release.

Decode to wav, adjust duration (with or without pitch shift), re-encode as AC3.

You may have to cope with the fact the underlying video is of different duration. And that is going to get interesting.

Well this project is indefinitely on hold. I'll be uploading the PAL audio from Seasons 2 and 3 to Mediafire along with the NTSC DVDs of those two Seasons. If anyone else is actually willing to give it a go beat my guest.

Are they the straight AC3 tracks?

And you only have seasons 2 and 3?

AC3 tracks are from the UK PAL DVDs which I own. The NTSC DVDs of Season 2 and 3 are from Netflix. They're on my computer. If anyone else would care to make NTSC 2.0 versions of these using the PAL audio for the retainment of everything, be my guest. Still unsure what I should do about Season 4.

I have another personal fun project I'm working on.

I'd just need Season 4 with original broadcast audio. Was going to make custom NTSC discs for Season 2 and 3 using the PAL audio from the releases I own but got too frustrated with it.

Hi Echo3, 

Are you saying that you have Season 4 on DVD with the ORIGINAL music?? Please verify. If yes, is the set Region 1 and in NTSC format? If yes to all those questions, I would be interested in purchasing a copy of the season set from you. Please let me know. 

Thank You,

I can verify that HULU (I have HULU Plus so can see all eps on roster, except "Disco Inferno", which is ONLY available on DVD) does have all the original music for Season 4, fortunately. Season 2 however is definitely altered. I watched eps like "Another Mother" and "M.I.A." and the replacement music was pretty god-awful. Season 3, like Season 4, appears to fortunately be unaltered too. 

Any updates on this?  If not, if I were to buy the following I would have unmodified episodes/music?

Season 1 DVD - NTSC

Season 2 DVD - PAL

Season 3 DVD - PAL

Season 5 DVD - NTSC

Then the only problem is Season 4, which appears to be complete and unedited on Hulu but nowhere else...

Anyway to capture from Hulu?

Season 2 and 3 PAL to NTSC conversions are dead in the water. I've moved on to start adding some custom tracks to Blu-ray. Especially trying to add the full-bitrate DTS track from Interview with the Vampire DVD to the BD25 Blu-ray released by Warner Bros. Which has lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 audio.
