One last thing...
This trick wouldn't work with just a single analog->digital conversion in the chain; e.g., connecting the composite output of an LD player directly to a capture card.
Unless your LD player has a digital frame store, a la the D925?
As a gesture of respect, cinema-goers this Sunday will observe a two-minute moment of noise reduction.

Hello the Team. Please do not allow -1 to post from your account, he has his own.
I've fixed the formatting of your posts above, but I don't have the patience to do this on a regular basis.

Sega's 1997 Star Wars Trilogy Arcade
No, not that one, this one:
http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=9777&letter=S
I got the year wrong, it was released in 1998. Star Wars Arcade is an ok game though, I remember having it on the old 32X.

To clarify even further, the audio was originally captured by me, from See No Evil's LD.

no I havent gotten anything done I am sorry but I do have work as well
School work or "work" work? How old are you?
And if you don't mind me asking, do you have a developmental disorder (e.g. autism) or some other type of learning disability?
FLAC = lossless. If you convert FLAC to WAV the resulting file is identical to the original WAV, just the same as if you put the WAV file into a compressed ZIP archive.
I didn't mean to give the impression that a composite NTSC video signal can't handle a true red hue. It can - broadcast-safe reds do not have to be "orangey" or "off", they can be a pure red hue just "darker" or "less intense".

Do DVDs and LED/Plasm/LCDs still have this red limitation?
No - The red limitation was, AFAIK, a CRT issue only. I'm trying to find a scientific or other article to verify this, but I haven't found one.
Unless you are remembering "NTSC Overheat", which is actually a problem with reds and yellows in a composite video signal. To be broadcast safe, the voltage level (measured relatively as IRE) should not go above 120 or below -20. The maximum white level is 100, but because a composite signal has the chrominance and luminance combined, a 100% saturated yellow would cause the signal voltage to go too high.
This is why color bar test patterns are typically 75% saturation.
The best explanation I could find comes from the DVD-lab Pro manual:
http://www.mediachance.com/dvdlab/Helppro/ntsc.htm
In theory, still a problem if you have a DVD player hooked up with a composite connection. Should no longer be a problem with component or HDMI.
I hate you all.
I once found an HDTV rip which for some reason had the 5.1 audio track from the DVD.
Unfortunately it didn't sync...

Thanks for all the offers of help. I don't think I'll need the TV version unless it really is that different.
Normally, film versions that have been edited for television have swearing removed by bad overdubs (think "yippie-kye-ay melon farmer"), often voiced by different actors.
The unusual and notable thing about the Ghostbusters TV version is that for those six scenes, Ivan Reitman actually shot alternative takes for television with the original actors.

That does help. Thanks. I figured I'd ask around here because I was hoping someone else had this problem and would be able to tell me what they did to correct the issue. NTFS is my best bet. I'll just buy a new drive to keep it simple. Thanks again.
An easier way: first mount the ISO using Virtual CloneDrive, then use tsMuxeR to remux the m2ts stream from the virtual drive to an AVCHD folder on your FAT32 drive (in the Split/Cut tab, split the files every 4GB).
(BTW if you want to play on a PS3 you can use AVCHDMe to rename all the files inside the the BDMV folder to be 8.3 compliant.)
The rodent line came after Wally Wick in the TV version I had. Stupid. "Weasel" would've made more sense.
Some scenes/lines were simply removed altogether, from memory the dream ghost/blow job scene was cut completely (although the actress/playboy model Kym Herrin was still credited) and the "He's a sailor; in New York. We get this guy laid, we won't have any trouble!" line was taken out.

Are you a real person or a bot?
I read the bit where they said the source was 720p h264, but didn't see where they said it had been upconverted. And if you check the screenshot I posted above, this video is higher resolution than the version off the demo DVD.
Unfortunately, the compression has killed the quality - at least my download, which at 90MB is about a third of the size of the 480i DVD version. If you check the Yavin take off shot, all grain has gone from the sky and fine detail is missing from the forest trees.
Video is definitely better than the DVD, it also has the full credits missing from the DVD version:
http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/36994
However, the audio L/R channels are flipped on the Facebook video. Would be better to mux this video with the 5.1 AC3 or DTS audio from the DVD.
Edit: After checking, it appears that the whites on the Facebook video are move blown out than the DVD version. Will check how they compare against the GOUT.
Good find, nice to have in 720p. Do you have to have an account to download? I'll ask my wife...
As discussed previously, it's not really usable for projects because it doesn't contain any full-length length shots, just short snippets. Useful as a reference, though (no clipped whites like the GOUT).
I tend to encode with a quality setting rather than a specified bitrate. Normally try RF=22 and see how big the resulting file is.
I expect that there would be some interest in your tweaked subtitles. Since SRT files are just text, the file size is small so it should be easy to upload to a hoster somewhere and post a link on the forum.
You could even just post the text, so people could copy and paste into Notepad and save their own SRT.

holy mono batman. i'd never thought i would be able to listen to this track - EVER!!!
thanks everyone involved in making this possible :)
may i ask what the source is? 151 pages is too much to get through for this information ;)
The mono mix was sourced from VHS recordings of European TV broadcasts (from the UK and Denmark).

Also, here's another great explanation of "bit perfect": https://code.google.com/p/cmediadrivers/wiki/Bitperfect
I have one of those compatible sound cards, and I needed to install those drivers in order to get AC3/DTS SPDIF pass though.
I haven't tested SPDIF input, though.
Too many variables to answer - how big is your screen, what's the viewing distance, does the movie have a lot of fast-moving pans or action?
I would say that a DVD5-sized AVCHD for a 90 minute movie, at 720p, with a single Dolby or DTS track in general would be acceptable quality. YMMV.
