THE FORCE AWAKENS Trailer Preservation

Based on various other users preserving the theatrical trailers for the PT, OT, SEOT, etc – I have utilized 2k DCP rips of the TWO teasers and the ONE theatrical trailer seen in US/UK cinemas.

The DCP rips contained FLAC 5.1 Russian Audio/Text. Subsequently, the audio was replaced with AC-3 5.1 English audio sourced from the HD-NET trailer rips (Teaser One & Two only). The 5.1 audio for the Theatrical Trailer was sourced from the DCP rip; only this trailer had FLAC 5.1 English audio.

I converted the 2k rips from MKV to MP4 via Handbrake using HQ settings (fine tuned for Film Grain) and brought the files into Sony Vegas Pro 12. From there, the audio was synced up and any Russian text was replaced with footage from the iTunes HQ MOV rips.

You can PM me for download links. If this is allowed on the Spleen, please let me know and I will put them there as well.

MPEG-2 OVER AVC
Being that Sony Vegas’ AVC codec only supports 20mbps one pass renders, I utilized the rather outdated MPEG-2 Blu-ray codec with a max-bitrate of 30mbps, double pass render. If anyone can point me in the direction of a better encoder, please let me know.
