Right before the Imperial walker blows up the main power station, it shoots down a speeder.
That speeder's out-of-control engine sound before its crash was mysteriously removed from the '93 remix.
It's heard on Digital Sound laserdiscs of the late 80's as well as analog LDs from the mid-80's.


When I think about that scene I can clearly recall the sound and I couldn't believe it wasn't in the '93 mix untill I listened to it.

I'm still confused about the audio delays. I demuxed Star Wars, added 1.017 seconds of silence at the beginning of the PCM track and compared it to the AC3 file. It matched perfectly. So I muxed the PCM track, AC3 track and my re-encoded video. But both PCM and AC3 were out of sync. I opened the d2v (DGIndex with forced film) file in virtualdub and selected the very first frame of the crawl. It started at 29.238 seconds. I opened the original PCM file and looked were the music for the crawl started. It started at 27.800 seconds. So I set a delay of 1.438 seconds and now the PCM track is perfectly in sync with the video although it differs from the original AC3 track.

DGIndex and CCE settings for progressive NTSC material.

OK. So the data CCE receives will be the same whether I use PC scale or TV scale?
And the 16-235, 0-255 setting in CCE? Will that effect the brightness of the output video?

EDIT: I just tried to encode, but cce said there was no yv12 decoder installed. When I add converttorgb in the script it encodes fine. But do I loose video quality because of the conversion to RGB?

EDIT2: I did a small test. My script ends with "converttorgb". I encoded with 16-236 and 0-255 levels. In the 0-255 video the blacks are darker and the brights are brighter. Well, I guess that's what could be expected when the range is increased.
