Hi all

I am a casual fan of the Wallace and Gromit adventures. I wasn’t aware it was a victim of music cuts (one of my pet hates!)
I have the UK DVD release from 2000. Does anyone know if this is an uncut version? I know it will be the correct framerate, and would be happy to provide a PAL sync to the TV rip if it is required. Ideally the Australian Blu-ray would be the best visual source, but no-one around here seems to have access to it…

All UK PAL DVD’s have the music edits. I have the AUS BD but sadly no Blu Ray drive to rip it with.

Ah that’s a shame.
Ironically I have a Blu-ray drive for ripping, but no disc to rip!

Was it animated at 25fps? I remember reading that the Wallace and Gromit shorts were shown on film in addition to TV broadcast, but I could be wrong.

It is, nevermind. I picked my copy up about a year ago from Amazon.co.uk when they were selling it there under the guidance that someone at BluRay.com claimed it also had the original unaltered audio for TWT, only for me to find out when it arrived that this was not the case. Still, and HD version of all 4 TV specials at the correct playspeed is still a win as the UK BD is 24fps. You can still find the AUS BD on eBay for under £15 incase anyone who has a BD drive wants to rip it. I’d he happy for now with a PAL DVD/TVrip sync though.

It was shot at 25fps which I think was common practice for TV films at the time. On a side note, the audio commentary with Nick Park from my 2005 “3 Cracking Adventures!” DVD has the original audio intact but of course gets talked over some parts. I can upload that if anyone wants to mux that in.

I made a test clip for syncing to an HD copy. Check it out and tell me what you think.

YouTube are great at that lol
A synced track to the Blu-ray is the way to go if people have access to the disc. It shouldn’t really matter if it’s the UK one or not as a 1080p presentation can easily be sped up to the original 25fps.

Not sure if it’s my phone, but that sounds… odd!
Is Facebook doing something to scramble it as it’s copyright material?

That must be it, but I got it through youtube after a second try:

I was thinking that, but April Fools Day pranks are meant to be done before midday. 😉

I had to spend Easter with my family so I wasn’t able to waste time on the joke for most of the day. I just can’t believe Youtube blocked my first upload. Fuzzy video with off sync distorted audio, for two and a half minutes. I mean really?

And pranks are better when unexpected. 😛

  • As Gromit eats his cereal, the original audio coming from his small television is now present

This segment of audio is already present on my 2005 PAL DVD. I did a comparison with Audacity and it’s identical. Maybe is was removed/altered on the US versions?

EDIT - My bad, they’re not identical. The original version uses the Open University Theme and the DVD uses slightly different music.

On my (US) DVD it definitely sounds different, so I assumed it was changed on all releases like everything else.

I just found this out as I was trying to do a restored audio track pasting the original unaltered segments over the altered ones which could be used with PAL DVD’s or the AUS Blu Ray.

I’ve just finished doing it and saved it to WAV and AC3 as well so it’s ready for muxing.

I’m finishing up syncing the whole TV rip audio track to HD video (with DVD audio filling in the logos and the end credits theme), but Vegas is being a bitch, so it’s not rendered quite yet.

Sounds great. What HD source are you using?

I didn’t think there were multiple HD sources. Is the AUS Blu-ray actually a different source than the 2009 release?

This sounds very exciting. I wasn’t aware of the audio issues until I read this thread.
