That being said, are you looking for NTSC or PAL. There's also a HiDef version out by Citizen. Depends on your needs and what you like.

I'm unsure if what I'm about to say has been addressed here but has anyone given sconsideration to the Dune soundtrack. It's not common knoweldge that there are two versions of the soundtrack: the original soundtrack and the extended edition that as sold bu Spercollector a few years ago. The original has 17 tracks - 16 by Toto, and track by Brian Eno called "Prophecy Theme." The extended version has 30 tracks and is only Toto compositions - no Prophecy Theme here. I thought this information may prove helpful to those attempting a edit.

It's too bad that a number of the tracks have such bad sound problems on them. At one point I was going to try and repair these damaged tracks so that a more complete version of the soundtrack could be included on the FanFiltration edit of DUNE DVD set as an extra. Thing is, that I just ran out of time on the project.
Here is an informative link to a review of the two known DUNE Soundtrack CDs by TOTO. There is also info about the sound problems found on the extended version CD put out by PEG.

You'll note that there were two release of the soundtrack. The 2001 edition has the sound issues corrected. I think I have the corrected edition.

The Smithee version has a pervasive soundtrack that won't (IMO) mix well with the Lynch version. For instance, there are scenes in the Lynch version that have no music, while the Smithee version has a constant soundtrack running through the entire scene. Are you going to ujust use the entire Smithee version in such cases? If only there was a way to remove the music from the Smithee version... it's bloody awful.

I agree, in looking over the film for editing I think that as much as possible of the lynch version should be used. There's too much wallpapering of music on the smithee version.

As long as the sound mix is "normal" that can be done and we can create a seemless transition from theatrical to extended shots.

What extraction software can decode multiple channelsand keep them seperate? I'm using Cinematize, which will unfortuanely downmix everything to 2 channels.

i have that one too, except for someone speaking at the end of a track there is no problems with sound on the 2001 cd, the only problem is that you can't tell what version it is if you can't look the disc itself! (there's is a little "01!" on the lecture side of the disc) besides of that, this one of my all time favorite soundtracks!

Any chance of someone producing a xvid/divx version of Fanfiltration's edit?
I've been having a tough time keeping my BT balances and I'd like to see how this edit is before committing to a 9 gig u/l-d/l.

The scene between Duke Leto and Thufir Hawat not long after their Arrakeen arrival (the "Mahdi" scene, a theme touched upon more substantially in the Sci-Fi Channel mini-series) would be another of the new DVD's deleted scenes worthy of inclusion into the new cut, adding greater layering and depth to Paul's eventual role as the Fremen messiah.
To say nothing of giving Duncan Idaho's presence in the film slightly more heft and importance, and being a nice quiet character moment betwixt the two comrades (much being spoken in the eyes alone, as opposed to aloud). The scene itself possessed no overlaid music cues at all, and would only require some "polishing" to bring the picture transfer up to spec with the rest of the film.

I agree that the acting in most of the deleted scenes are not great. I feel that even though the extended opening acting is not great, we really need more expisition to help us roll along (just as the lord of the rings opening help set the tone). other then that I don't think most of those deleted scenes fit. I think the death of Jamus is a great moment to complete the scene from the extened version of the film. I don't feel that the Shadout Shouts bit works or fits if it were added in. The only other scene I would say that should probably be added is the death of thufar.

Rather, that brief moment towards the end of Jamis's funeral -- where Paul "gives water to the dead" -- is right out of Herbert's novel, and should be retained in the new edit, if at all possible. Re-telecining the footage up to DVD standard would probably have to occur, but it's likely workable.

Send me email to FanFiltration@hotmail.com. Let's see what we can do. I'd also like to see this title in xvid/divx. That is, if it does not look that bad.

You won't regret it. The Fanfiltration Edit is quickly becoming my most favorite fan edit of all times!

Thanks for asking ADM.
There most likely will be an updated letterboxed version of The FanFiltration Edit of DUNE, but I can't work on it at this time. There is just no time for me to do it justice. I've got a number of other projects that must be finished before I can think of re-making FanFiltration's DUNE. Also, I'm selling my home and moving to Hawaii in this spring...
I'm very excited that other fans are motivated to construct there own DUNE edits, and I look forward to viewing them all when available.
The next FanFiltration release is due in just a few days (Keep an eye on MYSPLEEN), and it is called "Star Wars Making Magic: The DVD".
I hope that my "Chronological Godfather" edit will be the release after that.
