Saturn2888

I’ve got a copy of the Cinema DTS with some open matte version (which might’ve come from this LaserDisc copy, but I was unable to sync it to my 2011 Blu-ray disc (my 4K disc has major DNR). I think the open matte version might be slightly too fast? That or the 2011 Blu-ray is too slow.

The Blu-ray is 3 seconds longer than the Cinema DTS soundtrack, and while it lines up at the beginning, as the movie goes on, it becomes more and more outta sync.

Is there a version of the LaserDisc soundtrack that I can mux into my Blu-ray rip?

I’m not sure which mix is better, but I want the original mix if possible. Some variant of it that doesn’t include the new sound effects.

Oddly enough, my rip of Batman (1989) has two Dolby Digital mixes. One of them says Dolby Surround EX (which means it has that matrixed center back channel. Considering the other doesn’t, it makes me wonder if these are different in anyway such as having the original sound effects vs no original sound effects. The file sizes are different too, so I’m wondering if one of these two is the original AC3 mix on my 4K disc.

Ripped this from the 4-movie 4K set:

If not, can anyone point me to a release I should buy instead? Blu-ray, DVD, etc. I can’t afford the LD. No ripping tech, unless you send me that mix. All I want is the preferred audio track to these movies.

Howdy! Thanks for making The Hybrid Cut of Duel. Could I get a hold of that? I was looking for something better than my 4K disc 😃.

Unless I’m missing it, did someone do the film restoration in 1.33 aspect or only in 1.67?

I’m a little late to this thread.

I bought a disc with SotS on it, and everything’s really purple.

One of the DVD releases looks way better because of the color grading.

All I want is the 35mm scan restoration in 1080p with no missing frames and proper color grading.

Does that exist?
