yooo this so so hype. Donation sent i cant wait to see the results.
does this have the dolby digital 5.1 track to be scanned on it too or will that need to be sourced from a laserdisc for the theatrical mix?
Thank you so much! Glad you’re as excited about it as I am 😁
As far as I can tell the print only has an analogue audio track, so we’ll probably want the laserdisc audio. There was also a DTS laserdisc if we wanted to use that.
the ac3 track on the laserdisc has a good chance of being the theatrical mix(plus ive got it if its needed 😛) dunno much about the dts mix but laserdisc and even most dvd dts mixes were kick ass. so cant hrut to look into it
Nice, I think it’s for sure worth including both. I also know that metahades has reached out to me and offered to provide other language tracks, which I’ll be following up with him on.

The print on the eBay listing does seem to have a Dolby Digital track in between the sprocket holes. But I agree that it would easier to use the laserdisc audio.
Oh yeah, you’re totally right now that I look at it again. Of course as the resident newbie I have no idea where to look for these sorts of things 😛
I imagine it would be easier to just supply the Laserdisc audio assuming there are no differences between the two. Not that I know what scanning a Dolby digital audio track would entail.
I don’t know if this is true, but I’ve heard that when Team Negative 1 were releasing 4K83 (Return of the Jedi), they were able to use the analog stereo track on the print. So it could be possible to extract the analog audio from the print, but I don’t have clue how it’s done. Lol
I think using the DTS laserdisc audio might be the best option.
I just think that using the Dolby Digital or analog tracks would be more authentic. 😊I imagine we can include multiple audio options somehow. I myself would really love to be able to hear the analog track!
The analog track should be the same stereo mix thats on the laserdisc’s pcm track. but as far as getting the audio off the film. The scanner will scan the optical/analog audio track while it does the film and convert that to pcm to go along side the film’s video scan. If the scanner has the ac3 attachment it would work the same. so if nothing else the film scan should come with the analog/optical audio track along side the video.
As far as the DTS laserdisc track. IF it is the same mix as the ac3 laserdic its higher bitrate/fidelity would make it the best track to listen to. but if its a different mix than the theatrical/ac3laserdisc 5.1 mix then it would just be a neat curiosity not the best way to listen. we’d have to get a dts disc and have it captured and compare everything about them to tell.
