I want to use the gout video for star wars 1977 only and add the restored mono mix and the 35mm.

How would someone go about syncing these 2 audio tracks to the gout ?

What i would know to do as a starting point I am guessing is some sort of software to strip the video, remove the other audio tracks already on the dvd and the lego demo.  I don't even care about keeping the original menu.

It could be play only as long as i can switch back and forth between the audio mixes on the fly using my dvd remote.

The same one that is on your transfer of the 1985 CAV release of star wars.  Also known as the Standard play full frame release. 

But the audio i believe was patched by Belbecus to fix the side changes.  I have it on a dvdr of a bunch of belbecus audios included the same 35mm theatrical audio untouched called reference level.

It was from the laserdisc release in analog form in dolby stereo surround.

Is similar to the 1985 release as it does not have the close the blast doors line, but the threepio tractor beam line was added back in in 85 digital mix and is also missing on the original theatrical stereo mix.  Interestingly enough when Burtt and and his cohorts restored the soundtrack in 1993 the theepio line was left out again as a mistake.  It was meant to be included and the close the blast doors from the mono mix was added back in the 1997 special edition.

I only want the both available theatrical audios as to recreate the experience of the theatrical presentation from 1977.  It is not a necessary thing i just thoughtt would be a neat idea, and i had the same idea for adding back the 35mm theatrical empire strikes back audio also from the CAV release that was in analog form only, unfortunately no one has done a new capture.  The only source for the audio i have is your ac3 file straight off of your dvd.

As far as i know other than the 1993 which was basically the same soundtrack as the theatical return of the jedi mix without the limiting, and empire from what i read had no changes either until the special editions.   The first Laserdisc release was digital from day one.

So star wars 1977 is the only release where the audio was remixed so many times, and had three separate mixes during its initial run.  Adding the 1985, the 1993, the 1997 and 2004 makes seven different mixes. Not including the foreign dubs which were done in stereo but used the selections and takes of the mono mix as a basis.

So basically my idea was the same as the preservations of the full frame laserdiscs but replacing the video with a widescreen image.  I mean i have tried to watch the lasers i own them, but i just cannot watch pan and scan.  I would even use the pre gout letterbox video from the laserdiscs i don't care or the japan special collection, just as long as it is decent quality and in widescreen.

The theatrical 35mm is almost always left of of fan dvd's even the editdroid did not include it they included the 1985 thinking it was the same as the 77 mix.  Only your preservation disc of the laserdisc includes it.

The 1985, has been used a couple of times in fans releases, but the 1993 is almost universally on every fan disc being sourced from the definitive collection but this is already on the gout in 2.0 dd.  Of course the 1997 audio would not sync up properly without doing some edits to make it pre special edition.

If you're using the Belbucus tracks, they are already synched to the GOUT, you just need to add 1.017s to the start of the files.

Follow this guide here:
http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/How-to-make-a-Star-Wars-DVD-with-the-restored-mono-mix-PCM/topic/8288/

The process is the same if you're using two audio tracks, the only additional step is that you will need to encode both PCM files to AC3 to keep within bitrate limits.

Moth3r i am encoding for ntsc not pal does that make any difference?

Because i noticed in the thread you helped someone who needed to add the silence for pal playback.

I already figured the ac3 part just not the bitrates.

If i was burning to a blu ray media disc i would not have to worry about scrapping the PCM but as i am not doing that don't have blu ray i will do the best i can with what i have.

Their are some blu ray customs i do want to do someday,lol.  Just don't have the money and the know how.

The guide is for the Region 1 DVD, which is NTSC.
