I should be able to create an ISO. I am having trouble uploading or seeding anything on the spleen...haven't quite figured it out but once I do, I can put it there.
With all those trailer discs, it could be fun to possibly do some trailer preservation too. I know there are a couple I'd love to work on if I had the tools and the skills.
I have Jurassic Park, Independence Day, and lots of trailer discs.
I'm beginning to realize this about the BD forum...what have I gotten myself into?
I was thinking helpful if anyone wanted to color correct...
So I don't know if these images would help anything, but...
Oh DVHS: software isn't too hard...but the hardware sure is.
And lookie here:

There is also this rare pressing:
There are also the Japanese squeeze versions that both had AC3.
I've never heard any of them.
I'll have to take a listen to that again. I have that disc, and I don't remember it sounding that good. Although, I never heard the theatrical mix in cinemas but it never seemed to be a full, bombastic, theatrical sounding mix. I'll dig it out again.
Oh, and THIS too: http://math.berkeley.edu/~berlek/pubs/cds.pdf

You said you have what is said to be the CDS mix but hard to sync. What is your source?
So far so good! I did need to really crank the fader on my processor though. But there is a lot of detail in the mix. The low frequency in the elevator when they switch Ray's proton pack on was great.
PM sent!!
Well it looks like our project just became even more important. He even admits himself he pushed too much but doesn't care. I guess if he wants to do it, fine. Just include an original mix for us.
Luckily, we have fully preserved that here. Let's hope it will sync with the new disc when it arrives later this month.
This is the best news I've heard today. Can't wait to get a look at this thing!
I'd kill to hear the Matrix DTS discs. That was exactly how I saw it in 1999, on a proper system, and boy did it sound good.
In my home? I shudder to think of the joy.
I have an DVHS rip of True Lies that supposedly has the DVHS DTS track. I'm hoping someone can get me a myspleen invite I can perhaps rip it and post. The track is pretty beefy and awesome all around. Maybe even better than the Laserdiscs.
Also, does anyone know specifically what computers can do a bit for bit DTS recording? I'm looking into getting a new machine and I'd like to know if they can do this so I can start ripping my countless LaserDiscs. Do any Macs have the capability?
Nifty! Would anyone be kind enough to offer me an invite to myspleen?
Sounds like a wonderful place.
You know, I have a ton of DTS LaserDiscs, but I don't know how to/what I need to do a perfect audio rip. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I may be able to start doing this. I know specifically Apollo 13 and Independence Day are unbelievable. I don't know how to sync, but I'd share the files with someone who did know.
Let's show this prehistoric bitch how we do things downtown.
I have heard its 35mm optical track, and if the PCM track is anything like that on either the Criterion or Columbia release, it's breathtakingly good.
I'd imagine and hope the 70mm was similar, just discrete. I remember the original DVD having a nice 5.1 track, but the Blu-ray just doesn't feel the same. And honestly, the 35mm presentation I heard blew that Blu-ray away.
So, has anyone ever captured this? I’d love to take a listen to it, perhaps muxed with the Blu-ray. I’m working on getting the LD myself but I don’t have the proper capture equipment.
Let us also hope that the DCP for the 2D screenings of Jurassic Park will use the new master. Damn Universal, you're just lazy.
How hard is it to take a 3D Blu-ray and convert it into a 2D version without losing quality for a mux with our lovely original 5.1 mix?
I would guess it wouldn't take much to re-sync it with the new versions once they hit as long as they don't change any of the frames. Perhaps something as little as a small offset.
I saved the 6 wav channels (and backed them up too!) from the original project so if a re-encode is necessary it can be done easily.
Universal can keep their stupid 7.1 remix as long as we get a re-mastered image. If the trailer I saw in front the Last Stand this weekend was any sign of things to come, we're in for a beautiful new transfer in 3D at least, but we can hope for 2D too!
I'm curious to see the specs for the DCP once it hits cinemas too. I'll be taking a very close listen to the mix at my local cinema.
Thanks GregK! Jurassic Park is my favorite film. Having owned many different versions of it on video, I've become very familiar with the mix. When I first heard the 7.1, I knew it was wrong. Not bad, just wrong.
Thanks again to everyone who helped me and all of us realize this dream. I'm curious to see if Universal uses the original 5.1 or a remix for the upcoming 3D re-release. One thing is for sure: the trailer's 2D image looks to have improved vastly over the Blu-ray video master. With any luck, we'll get a nice, new Blu-ray as well!
Looking forward to 20 years of Jurassic Park! Life will find a way...
