I have experimented with dvd audio extraction programs and  i have found that converting ac3 to flac, wav or Ogg Vorbis restores the original master quality( meaning no dialnorm drc, etc)

here is an example of Poltergeist 2: the other side original ac3 2.0 track converted to flac. Here is the download link.

Most older Paramount DVD's have the original 2.0 Dolby Pro Logic Stereo Theatrical Mix. Use a DVD Audio Ripping program & compare the ac3 track to the flac, wav or Ogg Vorbis Version.

I have converted many ac3/ DTS soundtracks to ogg & flac & I have compared newer & older mixes & found that the older releases have better dynamics & the newer mixes are somewhat toned down, even when the older ac3 mix is at a lower bitrate.

check out this torrent that i uploaded: http://kickass.to/terminal-velocity-1994-dvdrip-flac-5-1-t8558227.html

this is the newer Terminal Velocity Mill Creek Transfer converted from ac3 to flac 5.1. i got this from a double feature DVD with the Nic Cage Movie Fire Birds.

To me Older Buena Vista DVD sounds better in my opinion. I have the file just pm me for the link.

Converting ac3 to flac, wav & ogg makes a huge difference. Try it you wont be disappointed

if any of you have the blu ray disc  can you get back to me & compare it to this rip please?
