Hi,
The audiochannels on GKar’s 97 SE of Return of the Jedi begins at 01:52:49 to get asynchronous.
Then it sounds like you hear it trough a can.
I’m not able to get this corrected and the audiotracks from my dvd and blu-ray won’t fit this.
Is there another source, to get the German audiotrack of the 97 SE?

I like the Special Edition 1997 because of nostalgia.

Yes, i prefer the surround mix, but stereo is an alternative.
That’s very expensive, is there no already ripped audio track?

Weren’t there German HDTV rips of the SE?..

Yes, but sadly they’re the 2004 SE.

Is there any update for a source?
Or some preservations which include it?

While waiting for the authentic German sound-mix of Special Edition 1997 to turn-up, here is an alternative you can use from the existing 2011 Blu Ray mix.

Both the 1997 and the 2011 Blu Ray cuts are of the same length for the first 2 hours, 5 minutes and 55 seconds. It is when you reach the Victory Celebration that the cuts go out-of-sync with each other as the 2011 cut adds 5.626 seconds during that sequence–it would be in the Naboo footage where a gungan says, “Me’s a free!”.

All you would have to do is trim-out those 5+ seconds, apend the two parts together, and boom!–instant 1997 length–provided that the G’ker version is frame-complete.

Thank you for the info, but i already done this, but with the 2004 Mix.
And also i slowed it down from 25 fps to 23,976fps, because i don’t like PAL-speed up.

I took again a look at the Gkar 1997 ROTJ track.
Strange is that at the point where it gets async the voices get much louder on the left and right channel.
Before this, the voices are just noticeable on the center channel.
So that is why it sounds like a can, what i mentioned in my first post of this topic.
The voices in the center channel are not sync with them in the left and right channel.

If i trim or stretch it, it gets async at a different point.
So i’m still not able to fix it.

I do have the german ROTJ SE 97 DTS files if still needed.
