Using the 1080p Blu-ray or WEBRip master files for video, I am trying to make the experience of DTS LaserDisc watching from 1997 to 1999 out of the analog video signal of the old LaserDiscs into the digital realm of 1080p Blu-ray quality.
So far, I have only ONE DTS LaserDisc, which is the 1997 David Fincher film The Game, which stars Michael Douglas and Sean Penn (which is the only PolyGram film released on LaserDisc with DTS 5.1 sound). I am looking for a little help from some contributors who might want to help me make this project a reality.
Enough of the discussion of what I have, and anyways, here’s how the project will work:
The sources are 1080p visuals that match the original version as seen on the LaserDisc, as is the case of logo unplastering for certain titles like The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Toy Story and GoldenEye (don’t forget Tomorrow Never Dies!).
The audio? Well, it’s the English 5.1 DTS digital audio from the LaserDisc reworked into a new DTS 5.1 audio track, along with additional audio depending on a certain title, usually a 2.0 Stereo track if you don’t have a DTS setup in your home theater… or maybe some commentaries if the discs contain them.
The subtitles are in English, even the commentary subtitles, depending on the title!
The keep cases to store the Blu-ray discs are normal blue or colored (I have to use the American spelling for American readers!)… but what about the rest?
The bonus features are actually depending on what title included them, but if not, the theatrical trailers for the films can be in HD.
Blu-ray menu design can depend on the title, also with the THX certification of the title if the disc did so, for example Jurassic Park.
Enough of the talk of what will happen with the project, let’s talk titles. Action hits like Blown Away, Jurassic Park (the first film to ever use DTS audio!), its’ sequel The Lost World, Armageddon join comedies like Boogie Nights and thrillers like The Game on the list of titles.
This certainly sounds like an intriguing endeavor!
I’d be interested in Hunchback of Notre Dame.
So far, one of the titles required is Toy Story. I know for a fact that Charles Threepio’s 1.5K restoration in 3D is the main video source.

Are you just trying to find people who have these LDs and can pull the DTS track?
