I thought it was established that HULU has the original broadcast versions, with original audio?

 

Regardless, I have the broadcast versions recorded from the Sci Fi Channel (aired mid/early 2000s) with original music intact.

 

Theyre the syndicated versions, so the opening credits are not correct in some some seasons.

 

Im not sure if they have scenes edited out due to syndication

For Season 4? I just need the episodes listed audios only so I can excise the songs and place them correctly.

Season 2 and 3 are on hiatus until next month. Just bought the monitor I've always been wanting to purchase. ASUS PA238Q IPS.

 

 

I have all of Season 2,3 & 4 with original audio.

I'd just need Season 4 with original broadcast audio. Was going to make custom NTSC discs for Season 2 and 3 using the PAL audio from the releases I own but got too frustrated with it.

Are they the straight AC3 tracks?

And you only have seasons 2 and 3?

AC3 tracks are from the UK PAL DVDs which I own. The NTSC DVDs of Season 2 and 3 are from Netflix. They're on my computer. If anyone else would care to make NTSC 2.0 versions of these using the PAL audio for the retainment of everything, be my guest. Still unsure what I should do about Season 4.

I have another personal fun project I'm working on.

I wish you good luck on this preservation project :-)

 

If Hulu does have the original versions, I can easily save the FLV files from the site with TubeDigger (I've purchased the program, and it's come in handy on stuff like that), and extract the audio from there. If anyone can confirm that they are the originals, perhaps I can help in that regard, at least.

I was attempting to watch Disco Inferno from HULU and it said they didn't have it due to rights issues.

All the audio is on my computer for Seasons 2 and 3 in AC3 format. What I need now is the exact NTSC episode run times to the millisecond so I can re-time these already. Next month I'll be rejoining Netflix so I can rent the 12 discs in question. Then what I'll be doing with Handbrake is rip individual episodes as high quality .m4v files which will be uploaded via MediaFire and links will be shared in PM with a PasteBin link.

The individual episodes for Seasons 1 and 5 are already uploaded to Mediafire with subtitles embedded. Zero denoising or any other filter applied. This show was shot and film and shall appear to be as film, grain and all.

Season 2-4 discs will be in ISO format.

In fact this is my first project.

You're going to have to hope someone has vintage TV rips they saved, or else get yourself the appropriate recordings of the problem songs and re-mix them into the existing audio.  A few S4 eps say "Disc Only" on NF streaming.

Running for Honor

It's A Wonderful Leap

A Leap For Lisa

I think it might be easier to just have the audio from the episodes and then the PGC for the video. Otherwise I wouldn't have any idea what to do to add in the songs while removing the muzak.

Seasons 1 and 5 are fine everywhere.

Seasons 2 and 3 DVD releases in Region 1 have their music altered. It's not the case for Region 2 UK which is PAL. Since I own Season 2 and 3 DVDs from Region 2 with the music retained, I'll be doing some PAL to NTSC conversion and adding English subtitles.

Season 4 is a tricky matter. Both Region 1 and Region 2 DVD releases have the songs changed. All someone would need to do is to rip the DVDs for the video, excise the audio and use the audio from Netflix streaming.

I'm using Doctor M's guide for PAL to NTSC conversion but it's my first time doing this.

 

There'll be a status update for Seasons 2-4. Will be working on a single disc at a time.

<em><strong>Official Release Thread - Alien Appendix</strong></em> - Updated with #2 info (Released)
Time

Will there ever be BD25 AVC (instead of MPEG2 480p) versions of any of the ALIEN Appendices discs? Perhaps even a 1080p version of the ALIEN: Extended Edition? Already own the UK ALIEN Anthology Blu-ray set and I was going to buy another multi-disc Blu-ray case. Only so I won't use anymore DVDs and have everything on Blu-ray for these.

Since the JAWS Blu-ray is only going to have 7.1 DTS-HD MA, anyone have a high bitrate PCM track from the Signature Collection Laserdisc?

Have this really been confirmed? I guess a PCM rip would be nice anyway, as there's a pretty big chance the mono mix will be lossy on the Blu-ray if they include it.

The mono mix is going to be lossy, unfortunately. Pity Universal UK might not do what they did for PSYCHO Blu-ray which was having the original cinematic audio be lossless. Whenever I watch the 30th Anniversary DVD I always choose the 1.0 track.

Sounds as though captainsolo needs a receiver which supports HDMI, Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD Master Audio and LPCM.

BATMAN (1989) Blu-ray 5.1 TrueHD sounds shit because it was lowered 4Db.

 

Since the JAWS Blu-ray is only going to have 7.1 DTS-HD MA, anyone have a high bitrate PCM track from the Signature Collection Laserdisc? Similar to what dark jedi did for The Terminator. Glad I have a Blu-ray disc burner but BD50s are expensive.
