Chewtobacca, I've done this bit (although I did in 48kHz) and PDB should have a copy by now, so maybe you can finish it off.

The laserdisc PCM was synced once, using cool edit pro to match it with the English 5.1 downmix audio track that had previously been synced to the mondo blu.

I'm confused.  If you have synced the audio to match the English track that was synced to the Mondo BD, then you haven't already "done this bit".   If you have also synced it to match the original R1 MGM DVD of the US theatrical, which is what I was referring to, then you haven't synced it once: you've synced it twice to two different releases.

 

Why would you resample the DVD audio to 44.1kHz? Are you planning to keep the LD audio at 44.1kHz?

Yes.  That's the reason.

PDB and I were working on a similar project to eurospec19. The US theatrical cut is our favorite version of the film too, so I wrote an Avisynth script cutting the Mondo BD to fit the old R1 DVD.  The plan was for one of us to use the lossy English mono on the DVD (resampled to 44.1kHz) as a guide track and edit the PCM to fit it, but I think real life caught up with both of us!

Here is my script.  It inserts black where there are alternate takes or where shots run on far longer on the DVD.

BD=DGSource().BilinearResize(720,480)


Blank=BlankClip(BD, length=5, color=$000000).KillAudio()
Blank2=BlankClip(BD, length=104, color=$000000).KillAudio()
Blank3=BlankClip(BD, length=154, color=$000000).KillAudio()#lean forward with cigar
Blank4=BlankClip(BD, length=101, color=$000000).KillAudio()#fat man pulling back
Blank5=BlankClip(BD, length=388, color=$000000).KillAudio()#missing shots
Blank6=BlankClip(BD, length=157, color=$000000).KillAudio()#Tuco's scream
Blank7=BlankClip(BD, length=836, color=$000000).KillAudio()#end

I have some color-corrected clips taken from the UK BD that I spliced in to cover the blank sections, but the results of the color correction are hit and miss.  Wherever possible I avoided replacing material from the Mondo BD, so there are a few compromises, as you can see.

In that case it doesn't appear to have been reencoded. It still has the black bars on the top and bottom and its been encoded with mpeg-2 like all transport streams.

Not all transport streams contain MPEG-2 video, but thank you again for the information.  It appears that only the upscaled scenes have been re-encoded.
