Thanks for your patience everyone - I've been working on a re-edit of the 70mm track which I wanted to finish before sending out any more links. I'm afraid it's still just the PCM Dolby Surround track (which will yield something like 4.1 through a Pro Logic processor), but this version syncs to the BD video far more tightly than before (and it should, since this is my third attempt!)
I'm sorry everyone for the lack of updates and progress, I'm pretty sure I've got everything that I need for bitperfect audio rips of the AC-3 Alien LD now. Read all the info I came across regarding this a few moths ago and it shouldn't be impossible with what I now have. I feel ashamed of myself that I haven't tested and done this already but I have seldom free time for the fun stuff these days, new job where I travel a lot and are seldom at home, several LD projects waiting to be completed... :( Jonno, will contact you regarding this as soon as possible, it needs to be done.

I'll send PMs to everyone who's waiting, let me know if I forget you or if you'd like to be added to the list.
As a bonus I've also done a sync of the PCM Dolby Stereo mix from the 1992 collector's edition laserdisc. I haven't managed to do a full video test of this sync yet, but if you'd like to try it and let me know how you find it, feel free!
I would of course like to be added to that list. Awesome that you've acquired the PCM 35mm Dolby track! Not a bad bonus, very interested.
Thank you, Jonno!
Also, I know it's an old standard def transfer but can I be bold and request a potential sync with the '99 DVD transfer as well? I absolutely understand if you're not willing to as it's not fun and an easy job audio syncing, it is in fact a real bitch if I have to voice my opinion. ;) Just a thought I had as I'm still very fond of that old transfer.
I also plan to at least make a quick and dirty preservation of the AC-3 Alien as its color timing is quite interesting in a few scenes.
Btw, what are your thoughts on the 35mm PCM track Jonno? Compared it with the AC-3 tracks? Curious...
