Any Mac users here? What programs would be recommended for doing this dvd authoring and audio business on a Mac? I know of DVD Studio Pro, but unfortunately my computer can't run it; are there any other options, less sophisticated programs that would suffice for this purpose?

Well, I'm using a combination of Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, MPEG Streamclip, and Photoshop to create my fanamorphic versions. DVDSP is pretty much the only game in town when it comes to real authoring on the Mac.

You can go about your business. Move along, move along.

Somebody has done.

Loading in Empire and Jedi as well as the '85 remix today. I'll likely knock them off in that order. I'll post with details as things progress.

If anyone can help with getting a dual-layer DVD with this Definitive Collection PCM soundtrack from Belbucus accurately sync'd up in place of the DD 2.0 soundtrack on the 2006 "A New Hope" DVD, and with the foreign language soundtracks and LEGO preview removed, but everything else from the 2006 "A New Hope" DVD (including the original menus) left intact and unaltered, to go along with the official 2006 Star Wars DVD set that I already own, please PM me. Thanks very much for any help!

Glad to here you're working on the '85 mix. Any news on the mono mix restoration?

The mono mix has been sidelined momentarily awaiting the resolution of QuickTime file synch discrepancy. In this particular case, I need an accurate video reference to proceed (see http://www.originaltrilogy.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=9&threadid=6714 for details).

A couple of members here have been kind enough to help me out with this. I hope to have it resolved soon.

boba_feta / anyone who downloaded the recent FLAC files:
I was unable to download the 3rd part before the files went down. Would someone be able to upload that file again for me? Pretty please?

To contact me outside the forum, for trades and such my email address is my OT.com username @gmail.com

There is some useful information about ripping and reauthoring in the threads about converting the DVDs to anamorphic widescreen.

Have a look through:

and

If you need any more help, post a question in the technical help forum.

Other previously documented issues included the wrong Fox logo cue, and some instances of pretty severe "wow" or sudden pitch shift. Everything has been repaired and/or filled from alternate sources, taking great care to match the EQ and level so the fixes integrate seamlessly.

All the major things have been fixed as well as alot of smaller ones. Click and pop removal was done manually
and small doses of decrackling software was applied selectively where needed.

However, in practice you must take into account the “fuckwit factor”. Just talk to Darth Mallwalker…

Just finished the synch of Empire '93 PCM track to the GOUT. MANY more sections needed re-aligning compared to the previous one. The sonic superiority however is much more dramatic. I'll hopefully get Jedi done today as well, and get them posted through the usual channels.

One note on the 35mm Dolby Stereo that's been posted already: The overall level was set so peaks fall in the neighborhood of "0". This is just good practice when transferring analogue material into the digital domain. However, because of the intentionally limited dynamics of this mix, when played side by side with the '93 mix (which also peaks at "0", but with far more dynamic range), it will seem noticeably louder.

I think it might be more appropriate to issue a second version of this at a reduced level referenced to the ’93 PCM, to better represent its place in the larger scheme (sorry Mallwalker!). I would also propose that the forthcoming issues of the ’85 remix and the mono mix follow this convention.

Just finished Jedi. Again, alot more re-alignment required than ANH. Quality superiority compared to GOUT more subtle than with Empire (no idea why Empire's GOUT audio suffered more than the other two, only the highly trained technicians at LF can explain that!)

These should hopefully start materializing this week, as well as the "lowered level" 35mm Dolby Stereo.

Have you synched Empire and Jedi so that no padding is required at the beginning this time?

On Empire, you say that sonically it is superior to the GOUT audio. Is the sub-standard GOUT audio due to a difference in the transfer or mix, or just the effects of compression to 192kbps AC-3?

FYI, Dolby Digital soundtracks are mastered so that the "normal" listening level of dialogue (where people are speaking in a normal voice) is at -31 dB.

There's a foreign language soundtrack?

boba feta: Yeah, there are a couple foreign language tracks on the 2006 set that are wasting disk space, so those as well as the Lego preview should be removed before substituting the official English DD 2.0 soundtrack with the uncompressed DC PCM soundtrack. When you get them, can you please upload Belbucus's PCM soundtrack files from The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi onto filefactory as you did before? They downloaded quickly and reliably from there last time.

By the way, if you upload to megaupload, I think you can upload the entire soundtrack from one movie in one big flac file. No need to break them up into smaller files. Megaupload allows very large files to be uploaded.

Can you upload it to Megaupload for the people like me who don't have newsgroup access?

Dunedain - note we do not talk about the illegal distribution of material available at retail on this forum. Sharing a PCM audio track only available on an obsolete laserdisc is fine. Talking about full DVDs with video copied from a retail release is not.

As far as this forum is concerned, you should make your own custom DVD from the files and guides available.

Belbucus - just thought of another question: you said previously you expected the '85 mix would have more dynamic range than the '77 mix. Is this the case?

And I presume it's not as dynamic as the 70mm-derived '93 mix?
