Oh my God, THANKS A LOT for the Czech dubs :-) It brings back some really nice memories :-)

 

Just a little explanation what "rychlodabing" is - it was pretty common in the late 80's / early 90's that they used the original audio (usually mono downconverted from stereo), and overlaid over it were new dialogues in Czech. Usually one man was speaking for all male characters, and one woman was speaking for all female characters. Usually the czech "actors" didn't ACT, but only read the text from the paper, without any emotion. That was quite funny in porn movies especially :-)

BTW I have the Ewok movie in this type of dubbing.

And Ond?ej Neff is a Czech sci-fi writer and translator of all Star Wars novels

Not too different from what they often do in Poland.

The Vaultbreakers Collection - Disney Preservations

Once I make sure I'm well set I am strongly considering investing in some sort of RAID array or something to get rid of my video capture bottlenecks.  I have two computers capable of video transfer but the drives are too slow.  (And I've had friends offer to help but they insisted that I have to cap lossless or at least not mpeg-2.)

That along with 2 moves (3 since I started) has made me not so keen on ripping right this moment.

I wish I had some means of acquiring and scanning 16s/35s, so I wasn't limited to 480p here, and could actually stand up to the BluRays coming out now.

Anyone have experience with installation and compiling of programs in Terminal (MacOSX), i'm requesting guidance/an education. 

Did some more digging and it wasn't Comparisonics but a program called Soundmosaic: http://awesame.org/soundmosaic/ (listen to the sample, neeto)

Have run the ./configure of soundmosaic and getting:

$ ./configure && make
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... ./install-sh -c -d
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... no
checking for awk... awk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

The gawk, mawk, nawk i'm not sure how to address. (probably need to install the recommended Audio File Library first)  The C compiler seems to be the primary problem.  Guessing I need to re-install MacOS's coder software.  Found some mentions of BSD, but those were years old, and not part of the install discs of Snow Leopard (10.6)   If I install Xcode will that provide the C compiler?  Any kind of tips welcomed.

I think so, yeah.  Not having gawk, mawk or nawk is prolly no big deal since awk is there.

Making our own 35mm preservation--my crazy proposal
Time

I'm more the type that watches what goes on than someone that says much.

I did, at one point, mux a mono audio track onto EditDroid, back before GOUT, and apparently a few people liked it, but it was nothing big (and couldn't have been, considering I was working on a PC with less power than my current cell phone, so...).  I've got ideas of what I could do with a high resolution, high bitrate source but I'll wait until I see the *final* results.

Actually, this might be the impetus for me to work on a final XP77 - pre-ANH (like GOUT and really I could just do an initial test on GOUT) and 3 English audio tracks.
