Info Wanted: Audio sync help

Does anyone know how to sync up the lossless 35mm stereo mix track of ESB from Despecialized with TN1’s Grindhouse? The Blu-ray ISO only has a lossy Dolby track and simply muxing the Despecialized audio in, or even syncing them so they start at the same time, doesn’t work so it’s clearly not GOUT sync and probably has some frames missing. Someone on Myspleen had synced up the 35mm SW 77 audio from Despecialized with TN1’s SSE, so I’m hoping someone might know of a way to do that with ESB too. It would be nice to have 35mm scans of all three films with original lossless audio tracks.

You open the desired video in a video editor along with a copy of the GOUT. You scroll through and find the locations of missing frames and split the video (inserting either black frames or frames from a different source). Then you output the new video stream and it will sync to any of the desired GOUT synced audio streams.

Or get a script from someone who has already done the work. It is missing several frames between reels 2 & 3, 3 & 4, 4 & 5, and 5 & 6 plus several missing frames in the middle of reels 2 and 3. It also makes a difference you want to sync to the US or UK version of the GOUT - they differ by 3 frames. The UK one has 2 extra frames at the beginning and 1 extra at the end of reel 5. I think most everyone around here uses the US version.

The UK one has 0 extra frames at the beginning and 2 extra at the end of reel 5.

I beg to differ. The only additional frame that contains data shows the tech motioning with his hands to lower the green R2 unit into an X-wing and in the very last frame (missing in the US GOUT but not the Definitive Edition LD’s, the DVD or the BR) his hands curl fully. I’ve checked the Hyperspace and Rebellion sets as well as my own DVD’s It is only 1 frame. Now, the two frames at the beginning could be a ripping error, but I get it consistently so I’ve run with it.

Ah yes, that would make a difference. I haven’t examined TESB quite so closely yet.

So to sync any GOUT synced wave file to TESB Grindhouse use the script below (and replace audio.wav with the name of the wav file with the one you want to use).
When you open the script in virtualdub click ‘File > Save WAV’ to save you synced audio file. Now all you have to do is mux it.

video = BlankClip(179667)
audio = wavsource(“audio.wav”)
AudioDub(video, audio)

For Avisynth and VirtualDub, is it possible to plug a multichannel audio bitstream (AC3, DTS), edit it, and output the audio in the same multichannel bitstream with no 2-channel downmix?

What the hell is video<!> ? The variable name is just video, why is there an exclamation mark in the <> signs added? Also, do you have Avisynth installed?
