Is there somebody that knows the differences between the uncut criterion cav LD and the blu-ray? I’m currently trying to sync the LD to the blu-ray but when I get to the point where floyd is sleeping on the shuttle with the pen floating by his hand the 2 no longer sync. The pen is maybe a different composite and the scene is cut differently. The LD contains several extra seconds of footage around here too. I think I can re-arrange the scenes and attain sync without losing too much. I’ll give it a further try tomorrow when I’m not so tired.

EDIT: Wow! The criterion LD contains so much extra footage/different cuts it’s going to be nearly impossible to sync them with the same exact footage. The blu-ray for example, has sections where they have doubled the speed by dropping every other frame whereas the criterion LD has the normal speed with all of the frames. I haven’t even gotten haywood to the orbiting space station yet either. Should I perservere and sync up everything that is possible, or just ivtc the criterion laserdisc as it is and put it on the spleen?

I’m thinking I will start by ivtc’ing and putting it on the spleen and then make another attempt at syncing it later.

EDIT2: I’m pretty pissed off about the blu-ray now actually lol. I used to hold it in high regard as one of the better looking titles on the format but what could the excuse be for dropping frames for entire sequences like that? That couldn’t possibly have been part of any print release. It seems like that would have been done post-telecine for whatever reason. Why did they need to speed up those portions?
