Thanks Jonno. Generally I would prefer free tools, but I'll use this if nothing else comes up.

But same situation here, the original audio quality is not great either (its a documentary) so wouldn't want to lose anything more in the process.

Need to fix out of sync audio on one of my DVDs. For some reason, half way through the movie, the audio is delayed by about 1sec.

So I need to extract the AC3 track and remove 1sec from the middle. I don't want to re-encode as it will lose quality.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

He released a regrade of OUATITW March last year. I see there is a version 2 too.

Also I don't believe his version includes the original mono?

I tried playing it on a dedicated media player connected to my TV (as opposed to the player on the TV itself) and it seens to honour the display aspect ratio setting. So that's good enough for me.

Thanks Space Ranger for the tip, I may wish to encode it properly in future.

This capture looks pretty nice for an LD rip.

Only issue is that while the aspect ratio displays correctly in VLC, it doesn't on my TV. I assume its just the display ratio which has been corrected.

How do I change the ratio without re-encoding/quality loss?

 Hey Jonno, did you ever sync this one?

 Hi Neon. It's still a work in progress - I've found it particularly difficult for some reason, perhaps due to its hazy and ambient sound (reference points being harder to find as a consequence).

I'm also in the middle of a house move so I may not have a chance to get back to it for a few weeks, but I'll post an update when there's news!

 No problem Jonno. Appreciate the update, and good luck with the move :)

 Hey Jonno, did you ever sync this one?

Does anyone have the Criterion Collection Three Colors White BD with fixed audio?

The original pressing (which I own) has an audio fault and Criterion reissued a fixed disc. Unfortunately Im not having much luck getting it.

Was wondering if someone can help a fellow forum member in need :) Please PM me. Thanks.

Why was the Warner logo replaced with the one from the Blu-Ray?

Great news AntcuFaalb! I might sync it to the 1997 DVD if you haven't already?

Great stuff!

Obviously a big drop in quality but I think I would prefer it this way over using a cropped clip.

Nice work :)

Ive also been working on this too ! this is how far i have got

tried cleaning it up by removing scratches and dust marks 

Cool you're working on it! 

But it looks like you are cropping the already cropped pan & scan transfer from the DVD.

Here is how it should look in widescreen - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=r57KXWeXKoY

its not the best quality but maybe you can use that instead? I also have an LD rip if you need it but to be honest the YouTube clip might be better quality. I'll need to check again to confirm 

I'm trying to but I'm not working with the best elements.

PgcDemux worked great. Thanks guys :)

I'm looking for the AC3 audio track taken from uncut P&S DVD. Can anyone help?

Is there a quick an easy way to do this?

I know eac3to can extract AC3, but it can only look at individual .VOB files. I need to get it for the whole movie.

I'm trying to mux a 1080p video I got from youtube to my own audio file (wav).

However when I load the MP4 video into mkvmerge, I get the error "The input file xxx.mp4 does not contain any tracks".

Presumably it cannot read the video only file for some reason. This appears to be a known issue and has yet to be fixed.

Are there any other tools which can achieve the same thing?

Well I see a HDrip out there. It has an AAC audio track so any chance of getting a PCM audio rip from the LD?

Extras would be nice too. 

Did Jimbo already get hold of the LD audio or is he still waiting for it to be captured?

Great news Matt.

What is the difference between the 2 audio tracks on the DVD? One is the stereo taken from the remastered widescreen version, and the other one?

Brilliant work! This type of documentary sounds exactly what I like. Would love to get the DVD5 version but not a member of the spleen so will hunt down the more compressed version for now.

I think one of the really sad ones is Northern Exposure.

Some really interesting music was unapologetically replaced.  Be nice to see that restored some how.

Amen. There is a fellow in Canada who sold DVD-r captures containing full music. It was apparently syndicated on his local tv long ago without any edits. The disc set was priced @ $150 last time I hunted him down. I was hoping they would have been liberated by now, but no-go.:(

 I am actually working my way through Northern Exposure now. I have a set of tvrips with original music but the video quality is so bad it makes me sad :( 

They are taken from UK tv so it's not a rip of the Canadian guys set.

Would also like to see it 'liberated'.

Matt, will you be including the English dub of DM2 as well as Cantonese?

Awesome! I watched it last week on DVD with DTS track and thought some of the background music didn't sound loud enough in the mix. I have and old stereo TV taping embedded in memory. Hopefully the LD rip will be just how I remember it.
