that's the AC3 track from dark_jedi's CAV ESB preservation (1425-84) Standard Play.
Believed to be the same Dolby Surround mix heard in cinemas.

Dark, I have a question about this one.
(I know it was a long time ago, but this question doesn't require too much memory ;)
Is this set from your personal collection, or did you borrow the LD from somebody?
If yours, and if you still have it, will you please tell where were the discs were pressed?
I'm guessin' the cover probably says "Printed in USA" but what about the discs themselves?
Do disc labels say "Manufactured in USA" or "Manufactured in Japan" or something else?
Thanks

I will have to get them out,but yes I have ALL the LD's I captured,they were all my personal LD's,special thanks to Russ for helping me acquire some of them.

No JACKET_P folder? Hmmm...

94 files is all of them. PAR2 wasn't meant for that scenario.

I have an audio recording of a 70mm print and "you're lucky you don't taste very good" is there. What's oddly missing is the line "When we find Jabba the Hutt and that bounty hunter, we'll contact you" with no break in the music.

"Audio for GOUT projects"

The DVD video was created using the 1993 non-anamorphic LaserDisc version...

I believe the first two were the same transfer.

Isn't GOUT's audio track 192k ?
I'm struggling to remember why you rolled your own, if it's believed to be from the same source. Was it something to do with DialNorm matching?

I'll leave it off the burn.

Never too surprising when a junkie dies young.
Lost one of my best friends a couple years back. He would've been 38 now.
Still, I'm sad to hear it. I enjoyed Haim's early work.
Ditto Brad Renfro and he was even younger.

Maybe I'll bust out Prayer of the Rollerboys tonight.
Ok probably not, but Lost Boys is a definite possibility....

Déjà vu all over again!

dark_jedi said:

so it looks like my only 2 sources are TB & G kar.

oh well.

Hey I resemble that remark!
Moth3rator, you think this thread should be moved from 'Fan Edits' into this forum?

I'm quite confident the ******* file matches the disc ****** **** **.
I've ripped that disc at least four times (at least twice each, on two different computers.)
Every time I've gotten the same CRC value, which the ****** file also shares:
1D930F31

sure would love to see this mysterious script enhancement myself and try it out,but does not look like that is going to happen

I won't be posting the updated script until all movies are complete and checked, but ANH is encoded.

g-force said:

the new script will be posted once I'm done with all 3.

Don't worry, I'll get ROTJ done eventually, and then I'll post all of the scripts.

I had been searching for a few years for the best quality version possible. A few months ago I sent Rikter a disc of the best one I have ever found. I think he made it into his latest Angrysun edition, but I'm not sure. Rik?

The Laserdisc FAQ appears to be wrong, according to posters in alt.video.laserdisc.

Read that thread, and it reminded me how much I miss Karyudo.

Try this one from videohelp.com
Cornucopia knows what I'm talkin' about.

Try goggling "NTSC 44056 47952" and count all the hits from digidesign.com
They seem to know what Cornucopia's talkin'bout

The Laserdisc FAQ mentions 44056Hz PCM. It's probably where I read it first.
Author doesn't say anything about AC3 sampling rate, so my hypothesis is still a WAG . . . but it makes perfect sense in my mind.

When film is shot, live action is sampled at a rate of 24Hz by the camera.
NTSC plays it back slower than that, by a factor of 1000/1001

When PCM is 'shot', analog sounds are sampled at a rate of 44,100Hz
NTSC plays it back slower than that (44056 if the FAQ is correct)

When AC3 is 'shot', analog sounds are sampled @48kHz then DD-compressed.
NTSC plays it back slower than that ???

I'd test the hypothesis using a hex editor to manipulate the WAV header...

... or force video playback to 24.000 and see if the 48kHz WAV syncs to that

Moth3r said:

Is LD ac3 48kHz or 44.1kHz?

It's 48kHz, 384kbps.

Dunno if it's true or not, but I recall reading that in NTSC-land PCM soundtracks are actually running at 44056Hz, or 44,100*(1000/1001).

Yes I understand PCM & AC3 are different beasts and we risk comparing apples to oranges, but I can't help wondering if the same principle applies?
48000*(1000/1001) = 47952Hz
That's in the neighborhood of 3sec difference per side.

Anybody seen Lymelife ?

Contains several SW references and (vintage?) toys.

While this ain't a review I will say I enjoyed the character portrayals of all the cast, especially Timothy Hutton and Alec Baldwin. Interaction between the Culkin brothers seemed genuine; surely Rory is the best actor in his family and did a fine job carrying the film.

Rory's character has a line "Some friend you are, Lando" which suggests 1980 setting; however the Iranian revolution ocurred a year and a half earlier, and almost two years would pass before "Galtieri took the union jack." Artistic license I guess.
Fine flick nonetheless. Check it out if you get a chance.
