Howdy all!

Have just been reading about the DD sound mix of the GOUT DVD’s. Why they choose to do this rather than give us the raw PCM which they COULD have done with the 2-3gig of free space remaining on the dual layer discs is beyond me. I mean the new DVDs sound pretty good, but after listening to the ‘Faces’ LDs again there’s no contest - 16-bit sound smuch better as you’d expect.

Being somewhat new to all this, how easy would it be to take the raw 16-bit PCM audio of the ‘Faces’ laserdiscs (which I have on my hard drive from using the digital out of my Pioneer CDL-2950) and to splice it into the new GOUT DVDs? Seems to me we’d then have a “perfect” representation of the 1993/5 era laserdiscs then. Would the PCM need to be increased to 48khz first?

I have access to a laptop with Adobe premiere, so how easy/difficult would it be to strip out the DD soundtrack, and replace it with the ‘Faces’ PCM audio?

Many thanks!
