So this seems like the right time of year for this.

I was a bit disappointed with the DVD release of this film.  To me, watching the movie without an audience is a terrible experience.

The DVD does contain a audience participation track, but I recall it isn’t very clear, and the audio mix is stereo (prologic).

The recent BD release ditches this track entirely and replaces it with a subtitle track telling you what to yell.

I’ve been thinking about taking the audience participation track, running it through a DPL2 decoder, trying to improve the clarity of the audience, and then mix it back into the 5.1 mix (or now perhaps something better with the BD audio available).

I’m sort of leaning towards making a DVD with this track (if it’s from the BD audio, probably as a very high bitrate DD or DTS)… and maybe the audience participation subs if they match up with the audio track.  That way the quality is good for future BD use, just replace the video.

Anyway, is there interest in this?  Any opinions on what form it should take?
