from memory, there isn't a DTS-MA 5.1 English track for it at all. closest to it is aa Dolby Digital 5.1 (640 kbps) on the Australian Blu-ray and a LPCM 2.0 track on the UK disc (be warned though as the first UK BD didn't have the English track, just a dubbed French track which they had to re-press)

there is also a DTS 5.1 track on the Japanese and Korean DVD's but that's the only DTS track released for it.

from what i recall on the other thread, there are a few subtle differences in timing between the two and some alternate footage as well as detailed here

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/The-Big-Blue-US-edit-1988/post/578675/#TopicPost578675

the titles are also slightly different in both cuts

I got caught in that re-pressing, I have both discs I don't mind as its in my top ten of all time

Would be interested in getting the English DTS track in-sync with the BD Version Longue video. Please shoot me a PM if/when it gets uploaded to sendspace. This is great. I'm glad there's so much interest in this movie.

Wow I am not sure what you are doing lol, it should be real easy to rip just the DTS track from the DVD.

 any pointers?

Big thanks out to 'bigrob" for helping me out. Can't believe I finally have the US release with the Conti soundtrack. Love both versions but saw this one first and it stuck. Thanks again....made my day !!

no probs

onky problem i'm finding is that when i've tried to burn it to AVCHD (and Jonno tried with BD), the AR is screwed and it's way to vertically stretched to the point where info is missing at the top and bottom. tried reconfiguring my BD player output as well but no joy

 

any help?

RE: The Big Blue

It's been a while since I looked at the file, but IIRC the AR is fine but the letterboxing has been cropped - most hardware players won't know what to do with the non-standard resolution so they stretch out the existing image to fit 16:9.

UncropMKV will sort this out - it restores the image to true 16x9 (letterboxed, obv.)

Rob, I need to send you a long email! Speak later.
