There ARE two points where the DC/Faces audio drops synch with that of the DVD (not including the DVD layer change).
1) The cut from Mos Eisly exterior to beginning of Han’s confrontation with Greedo.
2) Oddly enough, at what would have been the last reel changeover when projected theatrically (probably just a coincidence).
I’ve adjusted the DC/Faces file for both.
The DVD layer change, as with the 2004 DVD, seems to fall at the cut between “Terminate her immediately” and the FALCON in hyperspace.
In preparing this for mass consumption, I have a couple of questions. First, would it in any way make it more convenient to split the file for DVD layers 1 and 2, or should I keep it as one big continuous file? Second, is there anyway to identify an exact start point relative the video for synch purposes? Or perhaps a sample number corresponding to a specific frame?
I should mention that on initial inspection, I’m neither hearing nor measuring any reduction in dynamic range between the two audio sources on this end. The DVD audio measures 4.1db lower than the DC/Faces track but otherwise they seem to be the same.
