I've made a custom DVD with Belbucus' isolated score (encoded as DD 2.0 256kbps) and NTSC GOUT video re-encoded so it all fits on a single layer disc. All menus, extras and original audio tracks have been removed, chapter points and English subtitle stream retained.

Very cool.

Will you put it on "teh torrents"?

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

What, the encoded audio track?

Hi All,

I'm desperately searching for belbucus' stereo 35mm (1977) audio track to mix in with a new encode of my NTSC GOUT dvd.

I even worked out how to get newsgroup access, but it seems it's long gone from there - and I can't find a torrent for it, even checked eMule too!

I heard it's on demonoid, but I'm not a member, so would need an invite.

Can anyone help me out here?!

Cheers,

Ed

Edit: yes, I mean the '77 mix!

If you're looking for the "stereo 35mm" that would be the '77 mix, not the '85 remix - I'm looking for the same one, and if anyone has it, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could point me in its direction as well.

I'll dig it out and repost it for you later. Did you want the "loud" version or the "reference level" version?

Welcome to the forum, Ed!
Both Dolby Stereo flavors were last posted May 25, or 69 days ago. Although they've expired from some news providers by now
(including mine and apparently yours too) several of the top-tier providers should still have them available.
It seems a bit too soon for a repost.

Maybe it's a good time to try UseNetServer's 3 day plan. They advertise 101 day retention.
If you're new to usenet, I'll betcha you'd find plenty of other older postings that interest you (besides Belbucus' works)
to get good return on a $3 investment.

This is true (well, binsearch.info says 68 days). I thought the original post was older than that.

Ok, I just signed up to UseNetServer and there is more stuff on there, but it only goes back to the 31st May - so it's not there

Can anyone help me out?

Edit: oh and I think I want the reference one (is the difference just volume or is there clipping in the louder one?)

If someone could up the reference level one that'd be fantastic.

The "loud" version peaks at 0dB; there is no clipping of the waveform. If you want a disc with just the '77 mix, then this would be a better choice because it has a greater bit-depth.

If you are making a DVD containing AC3 encodes of both the '77 mix and the '93 mix, you can account for the level difference by making use of the dialnorm metadata in the AC3 stream. So for example, the '93 mix should have a dialnorm of -27dB (which is the average dialogue level). If you set the dialnorm level of the '77 mix to -23dB, then it will be automatically normalised to the "reference level" on playback.

If you just want to compare the two WAV files side by side on your computer, then you should get the reduced level version.

Thanks for clearing that up - definitely sounds like I want the loud one then.

I think it would be rude to bump this thread and ask again for someone to send the "loud" '77 belbucus stereo file my way without introducing myself!

I'm 27, but didn't actually see Star Wars until I was 18. I have very early memories of playing the legendary Atari Star Wars arcade, but somehow I'd never seen the film. My friend at school was always telling me how great it is, so I taped the last ever showing of the original episode IV off Sky (this was just before the re-releases hit the cinema). I watched the tape some time later and was blown away by it.

So what makes Star Wars great? Well it's a whole world which is not just unique, but somehow feels totally established. The cast is great, particularly Harrison Ford as Han Solo. Which brings me on to why the original trilogy is important. (Ok, I'm preaching to the converted now!). There are so many reasons: why try to tinker with history and change one of the most successful and influential films ever? Han shoots first: this scene really sets the tone of Han's character, it should not be disneyfied. What's really sad to me is that I was really amazed at how good the special effects were in the original films, why do away with these and introduce all that excessive CGI?

So, in 2006 the GOUT was released, and I bought it. It's a big step closer, but it's not quite there. It seems funny to me that there are thousands round the world who would give their right arm for a decent transfer of the OT, but the people who actually got paid to do it obviously couldn't give a toss!

So, I am re-encoding my dvds using the excellent settings in the "GOUT Anti-aliasing" thread. I just bought my first house, and have an (extremely small) home cinema in my loft. My projector is linked up to my PC and so I'll be transcoding my DVD to x264 format and I'd really like to have the original soundtrack to go with it.

Can anyone please do me a huge favour and upload it somewhere??

Cheers, Ed.

Turns out I still had Mallwalker's rars and pars on my hard drive. Posting now...

Thanks very much for this, unfortunately I have a small technical problem.

I got all of the files from usenetserver.com, but the DS48_DVD.rar,DS48_DVD.r15 and 2 of the .par2 files were incomplete, so I can't reconstruct it with quickpar. When I look on a hitnews server, only 2 of the files are complete. I'm confused - should I be asking for you to repost a file, or do I need to try another news server?

So it seems UseNetServer is delivering neither the retention they advertise, nor the completion ?
Sorry I suggested them. It sounded like a good deal.

Sometimes the errors occur during uploading.

If you still need a repost I can post them for you. I also still have the original rar files. Where are the other files, a.b.starwars?

I would appreciate it if you could post them, if only the .rar, .r15 and .par2 files.
I'm new (can you tell?!) to this whole newsgroup thing and am struggling to see why they're a good idea!!

I've posted the RAR and R15 files again.

It's a good idea because generally the downloading is faster, you don't have to upload/share anything, the uploading is more anonimous than torrents, the downloading looks like normal internet traffic. Stuff like that.

I don't have newsgroup access ... is there any way this could be torrented, or something, the way the mono mix was?

C'mon guys, respect the rules. We don't discuss the sharing of these types of disc.

And boba - be careful; some fonts are copyright too.
