The operative word being "eventually" on the '85 mix.

Your emphasis helped explain something that I still wasn't getting until now ... that the '85 mix is different from the original stereo mix. After all the sites I've read and the two years of hanging out here, I only now get the fact that those were different mixes. I love learning new details about old info. Many thanks for repeating yourself ad nauseum until I got it, because this is good info to understand.

Many thanks, THX for re-posting. I simply got more out of what you quoted this time, even though I read it last time. I'm still not sure if the other mixes will be available but the original stereo and the 1993 remix.

As for how to identify the start point, I would recommend simply ripping the GOUT AC3 file to disc. Place it in the first audio track in Womble. Then load in your preservation mix in the second audio track. Play, and nudge it left or right one frame at a time (trimming the starting frames if necessary) until it comes into sync. Mute the original and export the modified preservation mix to WAV. It will add/strip the frames in the export process and otherwise leave the audio untouched.

Unfortunately, Womble is only accurate to the frame, and not to the millisecond like Vegas. But will anybody notice? As long as it is accurate to the frame, it's pretty much unnoticible to anybody.

The most accurate way to sync would be with a multi-track audio tool like Vegas. The drawback here is that you would have to convert the GOUT AC3 to WAV first (unless there is a plugin/newer version that lets you place a stereo AC3 file directly into Vegas as a track). Such a conversion could hose the accuracy of the reference file.

I'd recommend the Womble approach (those guys need to start paying me for promoting their product so much).

I recommend releasing exactly what is on the discs. Provide the extra tractor beam, blast doors (and, what the hell, "we've stopped") lines in a supplement so that individuals (like me) can mix them in if it suits them. But if you're going to all the trouble to release the LD audio, it should be untouched.

To recap:
1) Were these digital or analog rips?
2) What all mixes are being provided?
mono?
70mm?
1985?
1993?
3) Will they indeed be synched to mux directly with the GOUT M2V file?

Well, there's another issue that gets confused. I believe due process extends to citizens, but not to aliens. I don't think we should be "disappearing" our citizens, but as for aliens, screw 'em.

I'm all for tearing off the fingernails of known terrorists when we nab them. People (on both sides of the issue) are quick to mistake those assholes for the guy who runs the 7-11 whose brother-in-law was Bin Laden's camel salesman. That guy needs to be watched, but not tortured until we're extremely certain he's doing more than running the 7-11.

Womble is worth a shot, though I wouldn't put much stock in it. Try running Womble's GOP fixer on the ripped M2V source. If that does the trick, great. If not, capture the scene or even just the shot in uncompressed AVI using DGIndex and VirtualDubMod. Replace the offending shot with the uncompressed one. It should eliminate the problem entirely.

Disclaimer: I'm only guessing.

Currently remixing the Pulse Leftovers disc. One of the spleen guys got DJ the ambient soundscapes track which is tripping me out right now (and I don't use!)

This alt. version of One of These Days sounds fantastic. One Slip sounds pretty weak though. I could use the one from Delicate Sound of Thunder VHS, but that would be cheating.

Beautifully said. No picture book in the world can capture the essence of what it is like to stand in the Vatican's Sistine Chapel or China's Forbidden City. That doesn't mean such books shouldn't exist.
