The "3 bandidos" scene was missing from the 1998 release as well, see here, so it is filled with the Extended Edition material.

I'm pretty sure it's cut even further in the earlier LD editions. I'll double check as it has been a couple years since I compared the 98 vs 90/93 LD editions.

@ The Hutt,

Good to hear you're doing a v1.1. Will you announce when it's ready please?

Of course. I have edited the first post.

Can I ask is the ending of the Mondo version different to the US releases?

I got a rip of the Mondo with the English soundtrack (5.1) already synced. The lip sync was fine throughout the entire movie however at the very end, the music is cut short. Is it because the US version has a longer ending or credit sequence or was it the work of a bad ripper/editor?

Little status update:

- The sound drop is actually on the original PCM track. Fixed.

- The wrong spoon noise (bit that was cut out of the 1993 LD): Fixed.

The version 1.1 will be released tomorrow or Sunday the latest.

Can I ask is the ending of the Mondo version different to the US releases?

Yes, the Mondo ends earlier.

Also, the last of Tuco will not sync to English language, see here why.

Version 1.1 is finished! The old download source still works.

Update: alas, still not finished, as kk650 keeps finding new glitches. I will wait till he's done.

Some clarification at this point. The glitches indicated by kk650 are mostly inherent in the original mono sound and not the result of its synching to the 4K edition. Some of them are actually still present in the mono downmix of the 4K. I am looking into the most severe ones in order to fix them, but some is just not possible (at least for me) without introducing further artefacts.

 If so, I wouldn't worry about them.

Of course. In fact, I have already advanced so far as till the end of the torture scene.

I'll start answering PMs when version 1.1 is finished. :)

Version 1.1a is now finally out.

I fixed some of the more disturbing issues with dropped frames. However, if they appeared too minor or wherever I felt that fixing would actually make things worse (by changing vocal characteristics of the music, creating artifacts etc.), I left them in their original state.

However, the most important bug has been fixed - a wrong sound sample (spoon noise) during a scene with Stevens' - it was missing in the 1993 LD. I used Italian mono now to fill it.

Many thanx for the mono 1.1a track. It's outstanding. Can't wait to listen to your Mondo synced mono track;)
