dj, the bd audio doesn't match the hd-dvd video. you need to edit it in order make it sync. i have the dts-hd audio already synced here.

wait, the first ld from live home video was also remixed? i thought that one was untouched.

what about the old blu-ray/hd-dvd (canal +) of the theatrical cut. though 5.1, but are they also remixed?

does the muse hi-vision contain the original mix?

and yes, no argument on the terminator. the mono mix beats the new 5.1 mix clean and hard.

Rydstrom remixed the audio for the SE and ruined it 

what exactly did he ruin?

is the pcm from the theatrical cut ld available?

i just finished watching mad max 2 with jonno's synced ld pcm. audio was spot on. a great track.

thanks jonno :)

there is a t2 muse ld on ebay.de for 100 € + shipping.

as for the better version - theatrical vs extended cuts - i prefer the theatrical version, which is also james cameron's director's cut. but i do think that a few scenes from the mill scenes should've been left in the theatrical cut, e.g. t-1000 malfunction, fake sarah reveal.

what is the definitive answer to this question? i heard different reports that on this player composite might be the way to go. though, s-video on paper is for me the way to go. i can capture either, but i wanna use the best option.

german bd of fafdm has english mono in dts-hd ma.

by any chance, does someone have the remastered laserdisc of the movie and can capture the mono audio? on the dvd and blu-ray there is only the 5.1 remix. restoring the original mix to the blu-ray video would make me a happy panda.

there are two laserdisc that give us a clean audio. one from image entertainment (ID5239VE) and the other from live home video (LD 15101-WS). getting the audio from both might be the best option, so we can compare them and see or hear which is better (cleaner).

wasn't the thunderdome 5.1 mix derives from the 70mm 6-track audio? but still, the laserdisc audio would be a nice addition to i. if anyone has the ld, please let us know.

are there any news regarding taxi driver?

while the blu-ray looks fantastic, it misses out on the original mono mix. heck, even the dvds never got it. so getting the mix from the good old criterion ld as a untouched .wav file would be awesome.

I had a friend who purchased the Taxi Driver CAV LD and brought it to me to make a DVD out of it several years ago. I ripped the movie soundtrack, isolated music track and Scorsese commentary and then I split all the still frame bonus materials into separate images and recreated the galleries in DVD form. I don't have the original uncompressed files on the audio, just the AC3 audio muxed to the DVD. I would like to get the DVD into circulation.

maybe your friend still has the ld and you re-capture the uncompressed audio for us :)
it's worth a shot.

i have the jungle book limited dvd

I would like to have the PCM audio from the Robocop Criterion LD if anyone is working on that.

Thanks!

i would love to get, as i'm preparing an edit of the mgm and sony blu-ray. the sony br is on the theatrical cut, but it's by far the best version available. well, not really available. it was never released. but a few copies made it in the open ;)

whoops, my bad. i was mistaken the remake with the original.

I am all for making other Horror movies from 1080i HDTV sources but it seems no one has access to these files, hell I already asked if anyone has the Night of The Demons HDTV file and got zero responses, so if you have some files which ones do you have?

is there something wrong with the blu-ray of said movie?

Any suggestions as to how to sync this? I was planning on taking the BD's 2.0 audio and using that as a guide for the LD capture. I've tried doing this with The Killer and A Better Tomorrow but I find that the audio goes progressively out of sync. I sent that off to Commodore Scmindlapp and he got it synced but I don't know how you can do that without chopping up the audio into little segments and hearing the edits as you view the movie. The Killer's LD track doesn't do this so I'm a bit lost here.

you need to fill the gab either with audio from before or after the edit or leave it silent.

i suggest that you edit the audio first to sync it and then fill the gabs.

if you have problems using only waveform as a guide, i recommend using video as well. so if you can capture the laserdisc video put it on top of the blu-ray video and sync it based on frames. when you need to edit it, it would follow the same "fill the gab" rule.

you can also share the untouched audio files and someone with more experience will take a look at them.

jonzo, if i remember correctly these extra bits of gore are included in the deleted scenes + a few extra gore cut to gain the r-rating.

i was hoping these scenes would make back into the movie.

alright. just wanted to make sure :)

i wont go forward and say it's better, or let me say could be better then the 5.1 mix, as i never got my hands on the cc-ld. but it was the original mix. that is one big reason to preserve it. it's annoying that studios tend not to do so anymore :(

guys, i think you forgot to include the deleted scenes/mpaa cuts from the old dvd or did i just misread it?

if you indeed miss them, i can provide them from my dvd :)

are there any news regarding taxi driver?

while the blu-ray looks fantastic, it misses out on the original mono mix. heck, even the dvds never got it. so getting the mix from the good old criterion ld as a untouched .wav file would be awesome.

as for preservation, i have the hard boiled criterion cav ld. is there anything you guys might want from that one?

i'd also like to get my hands on it.

thanks in advance :)

the movie is available on the u.s. itunes movie store. i don't know how the quality is. might be worth a shot.

i just finished syncing the thx ld audio for aladdin to the blu-ray and i wonder if the original version of arabian nights ever made to the soundtrack cd.

can someone bring light into darkness?

btw, i will do the same syncing for the little mermaid when the blu-ray hits. i doubt disney will include the original surround mix. i have the thx ld and the audio is just sitting on my drive till then :)

Scarface (1983) - Signature Collection

what do i want to do with these tracks?

i’d like to remux these audio tracks with the blu-ray or use them on the restoring of the theatrical cuts (robin hood and amadeus)

why do you want the laserdisc audio, isn’t audio on the blu-ray good enough for you?

i prefer to watch the movies in their original audio mix and many blu-rays don’t have them anymore. you only get access to 5.1 upmixes. i like to preserve the original mix if possible and laserdisc is a very good source for that.

the audio itself can be captured and then send to me. you don’t have to edit the side change. separate files for each side of the laserdisc are also fine. please don’t process them to 48khz. i’d do that myself after all syncing is done.

if you have any of these movies and can share the pcm audio, please send me a pm. once i receive the audio, it will noted here and you’ll receive full credit, unless of course you don’t wish so.

thanks in advance

thank you jonno for audio :)
