I guess I was wondering if the times I posted were the same as each reel of 35mm film for each movie.  The numbers you've posted might be totals without those extra change over audio bits at the beginning of each reel.

This stuff can be so hard to verify.  You'd figure there would be some websites where this info would actually be available no matter how "useless" the info might be to some.

Those numbers are the length of the audio tracks with the overlaps included before I put them together, so they are the times as they come off the discs without any manipulation.

It is hard to verify. The best we can do is guess at the video reel lengths by taking the numbers we have as a 'standard' reference and getting the time lengths from those (SMPTE Film format). They should be shorter than the audio files by a few seconds each. The only way we would know of the 'true' reel lengths would be to get a 35mm reel of the film and examine it, which would also tell us whether our 'standard' numbers were right or not. Without that I cannot see a way to be 100% certain.
