I'll take advantage of Christmas time to try to get more info about the French track. If I find something interesting, I'll write it in this thread.

Wow, very nice initiative. I played it again the other day and the atmosphere is great, mostly because of the details in the videos. Thanks for the gift !

Great, so far we have two options, thanks to Moth3r and Citizen.

Option 1 : Moth3r

It would be fairly quick for me to sample the French soundtrack and post it as an AC3 file for people who want to patch the DVD themselves, like I did with the mono mix. But there will be a little gap in it where the dodgy side change occurs.

How long is the gap? Is there a way to avoid or to correct it?

Option 2 : Citizen

[...] and replacing it with the French 2.0 at 224kbps & German 2.0 audio at 224kbps, the menus/title text/intro scrolling text/alien subtitles would still be in English but it would have 3 different language tracks and the video wouldn't have to be re-encoded to accomodate the new audio tracks.

That's great. Would it be possible to find somewhere an intro scrolling text in French for the beginning?

I was kidding when I said "La honte". Personally I'm a purist who needs to watch films in V.O. but other people have different tates...DUH!

Like you, I always watch movies in VO. Star Wars is the exception, simply because I saw it long before I could understand English. When I opened this post, I was actually hoping that not only French-speaking people would be interested in this request, but also other fans who first saw these movies in Spanish, Italian et caetara and for whom having the OT in their mother tongue would also be very nice.

Sinon, je sais que Moth3r a fait ses versions avec les Laserdiscs français...demande-lui.

Merci, je le contacterai.

As for the translation, that's what's so great about the French dub: the "Mets la gomme Chico", the "Millénium Condor" are quite typical of the old school French tranlations.

For many years now I’ve been looking for the Original trilogy with the original french audio track. I would like to know if anyone ever did a preservation edit (which doesn’t seem to be listed in this forum) or if anyone could be able to do it. Like almost everyone on this forum, it really is the idea of viewing the movies that I grew up with in my mother tongue that drove me here.

I read somewhere in the threads (can’t find the exact place) that a few people had the soundtrack in french on a Laserdisc version they own. This forum seems to be my only hope…

So, if anyone could help me in this matter it would be very appreciated.

Oh, and if someone ever needs help in doing french subs, I’d be more than willing to help.

Thanks.
