Extras on SW laserdiscs and not on DVD or BD...
Time

Andrea,

Here is my opinion on the matter ..... if you want to do this and share it when you're done ..... then get cracking ..... LOL.  In the end, it's your project and you will always have some takers and some passers.  It's the nature of it all. Companion discs can be great for projects as it keeps continuity with the set.

Cheers for doing what you're doing .... and remember, have fun with it.

:)

DTS audio preservation .... UPDATE 07 May 2015 ... Work In Progress
Time

Can someone providing a very brief rundown on what is required to preserve one?

As I understand it:

  1. Player with SPDIF out.
  2. Computer with bit-perfect SPDIF in.
  3. Free software.

 

Y/N?

For laserdisc I would believe that to be sufficient.

Thanks! Just so you know, it really is spelled "Kombat" with a K. Not that I think there is a similar title in DTS floating around. ;)

Fixed and fixed, sorry for the mistake.  :)

Somewhere I have an HD version of True Lies that was muxed to the D-Theater DTS track.

I don't know if that would fit what you're looking for or not.  IIRC there was also a Japan DVD release with the DTS track and it might still be available if you're willing to brave Amazon.co.jp.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-VHS#D-Theater

There used to be several other of the D-Theater DTS tracks floating around at HDBits.org if that is of interest.

Edit: Apologies, I'm assuming there is a particular reason you're looking for laserdisc rips in particular since I'm having no trouble finding several of the ones on your list available on DVD or BD releases.


Assuming one had an account @ HDBits, it would help.  As for the LD rips, yes, folks are looking for them instead of DVD or BD audio due to remixed audio that may not have the same boom or splash it once did on Laserdisc or Theater viewings.  Other DTS audio is cinema related and could offer the same and/or better results than the LD audio but it is harder to come by and to work with.

In the end, I thought this topic should have it's own thread to keep other threads on topic.  If you come across some D-Theater DTS audio that might be of use here please let folks know.  I know I'd enjoy an invite there if anyone has any available ......  ;)

Question about the TB release of the SE ...
Time

I am wondering, are the original files that were used to make this still available anywhere or does anyone have access to them? 

I'd be curious to see if the original files could be used in any projects considering they'd have less compression than what's out there already.  I guess it's curiosity mostly as I haven't seen any real info on them.

Cheers

DTS audio preservation .... UPDATE 07 May 2015 ... Work In Progress
Time

Okay,

I started this thread as others were being cluttered with off-topic requests and such.  Please post what you might be interested in finding here.  We might have folks that have some of these already.  Other requests might take time and a little extra effort to obtain so please be aware of these things when asking.

Now, if we have any folks capable of doing the Laserdisc rips of any of these or others it would be greatly appreciated.  DTS cinema discs can be harder to come by and harder to work with so if we have folks familiar with these that can help get audio sorted properly that would be most welcome too.

D-Theater VHS audio will also be considered for requests as it seems there is a quiet but growing interest in them as an alternative.

Please “mention” in your post which type of DTS audio you are requesting such as LD, D-Theater, Cinema, and so forth so people can point you in the right direction.  I also want to stress that this is information provided freely so that archive/preservation projects have a “go to” thread about this specific audio type.  Do NOT request audio that is commercially available as your request will go unanswered for obvious reasons.

Let’s see where this goes as it benefits everyone.  Sharing is caring.

Cheers!!!

Just a note …

BIG HUGE THANKS to borisanddoris, ElDonante, Silverwook, CapableMetal, DoomBot, Schorman, Jonno, and others who have inspired, worked on, and helped in some way to spark folks interest on this matter.  WITHOUT them we’d still be wondering and waiting for such preservation’s.  You ALL rock in my book.

😃

Terminology used:

Found = I have it on hand.

Synch’ed = It has been edited to sync with a source.

Searching = Searching (snicker  😉 )

Preserving DTS LaserDisc tracks, specifically Jurassic Park

I wouldn't mind seeing if anyone has the CD-Rom's to Event Horizon

I saw that at the cinema twice and the sound was so loud and agressive that it shocked me

the DVD /  Blu-ray version doesn't have the same impact at all

I think we need a separate thread for all of these other requests folks are looking to fill.

I'll start one, then you all can post there ......

:)

I will see if I can come up with Event Horizon discs ....

Info Wanted: HD Documentary Preservations?

none said:

Took me a few years to notice but two of the AotC HD broadcasts are in different definition.  Both 1920x1080 but one's pan/scan.  (pics are full, open in new window for details)  Can anyone tell if the 2004 was upsized or were the 2007 downsized?

2004 : Star Wars Attack of the Clones.0002.ts

2007 : Star.Wars.II.Attack.Of.The.Clones.1080p.h264.dd51.de.en.dc.ts (German)

Anyone seen any of the other films in HD pan/scan?

I saw there was a release of all 6 German caps .... would be damn nice to have them all to use for the DTS audio.

Wish me luck! (all of you 0* people who really care)

I have found that this sentiment doesn't get people pumped to help folks out anywhere in the world.  Patience is truly a virtue around here .....and in short supply some times too.  I guess it's all relevant to your needs really.

I'm glad you got what you needed.

You could start out by researching the Rowman (as benduwan has stated above) & the Dr. Gonzo sets ..... I believe they had a fair amount of the LD only features collected from the various releases.

I love you and want to have your babies!

 No need for that ..... but thanks, I think.  LOL

Anyways, I got both of the Alien DTS disc sets and I'm going to get them decoded.  The next step would be to get them sorted for use in a sync project and I am NOT the expert at doing that.  Maybe someone would like to offer assistance on this ..... it would help greatly.

Anyone have Alien Resurrection? 

I will try and see what I come up with.

Thanks! my first DTS cinema experience and no version on home video has come close 

I will have this soundtrack on my HD by the weekend.  I will also have theatrical DTS for the Alien Reissue (Directors Cut) as well. 

Anyone know for sure if Aliens & Alien 3 had theatrical DTS?

If anyone has $3000, someone on the 35mm forum has the SE Trilogy for sale.  Sounds like it's in damn good shape too ..... just a heads up anyways.  Seems his price has some room to haggle .... might be a good way to get a deal.
