I was hoping to help out Belbucus by providing him the '85 mix ready to go.
Oh well. Back to the drawing board. I've created a custom mix from the GOUT AC3 file (again, I was surprised at it's quality given its bitrate) and have mixed in the four dialogue lines that were restored in the 2004 edition ("We've stopped," "There's no one here," "Tractor Beam" and "Close The Blast Doors." I don't know if the first two were present in any mix, but the first certainly was from the same take as it's surrounding lines. Above all else, I like them.
I've also extrapolated the mix to 5.0 using the Doom9 guide (I wish I new how to steer the LFE frequencies to that channel). I'm going to mix this down to 5.1 at 448 bitrate and see which I like better ... this pseudo surround mix based on the original dolby, or just a PCM mix.
I've got the video upsized to anamorphic, but I don't have widescreen equipment so for now, that's only anecdotal.
Belbucus, will your mix be from PAL or NTSC?

I was rather surprised at the decent quality of the 192k soundtrack too, so I've done a rather similar thing ADM. I deftly reinserted "We've stopped", "There's no one here", 3PO's Tractor beam spiel, and also all of Aunt Beru's original lines as well as the Cantina Cockneys and "Blast it Wedge!" I've created mine using the PAL soundtrack, so if there's any interest, I'll get it uploaded to rapidshare.
Only thing is, I didn't upmix it to 5.1. Is there any great benefit? After all it's only fake 5.1 right?
