hi Studio Toledo,
I saw your post awhile back on a certain Usenet anime group and was thinking of contacting you for the mkv file.
I have already finished timing my rip of the Viz dub audio to the Korean DVD video.

I just need to extract it from the finished video file and send it to bkev afterward. I don't have the dub audio for "Adieu Galaxy Express 999", so your copy of that movie's dub audio would be pretty helpful.

EDIT: I just spot-checked the very last scene where Tetsuro is chasing the 999 and it is very slightly out of synch in a few places. So, since you did some additional editing your track may be better after all. I'll see what bkev wants to do. I'm still sending him my edit.
My edit is still watchable, but not 100% perfect synch like the original Viz tape was. Ocean (the dubbing studio) used a process called WordFit, where they tried to perfectly match each lip flap.
Somehow I think Viz (or Ocean) may have tampered a little with the frame rate. The audio in my edit comes on correctly when a character moves their mouth, but voice stops before the mouth does at times.
It's funny, because I did my own restoration of this film back in 2000 where I composited the same dub audio over a letterboxed Japanese VHS tape and it seemed a little better. Hmmm.
