Okay, A New Hope SE is really messed up. I now see why they went a completely different direction when it was DVD time. In many ways it is more of a sad mess than the digital version. But there is a lot of good stuff in there that shows how badly they did the digital version. I have been avoiding coming to this conclusion, but I think A New Hope on BR is going to require an almost scene by scene color correction. Everything else is moving forward, slowly. I have the SE and PT DTS tracks synced and I have listened to most of them. I need to use the SE to properly balance the OOT surround channels and LFE. Though I have noticed that A New hope is pretty weak compared to the others even in that area. I have a final edit of the GOUT audio so now I need to sync the various LD tracks to that. First up, the 77 surround mix. I think I’m going to have to do them twice, once in stereo and once in full surround, in order to have both sound good. The patches are going to have to be from the 2006 GOUT or the 1993 LD audio as they are the only complete ones and the sound may not match very well. But I am far better with sound than I am with video so this should be a piece of cake. I’m just using Sony Vegas to sync them because it is so easy. I may still bring them in to Cool Edit to make the edits themselves. Still, other ides may come to mind. This is a lot of work going back to the source files, but it is also quite fun. Not really reinventing the wheel, just doing it the way I want it done.
