On the Terminator 2 Skynet Edition forum on blu-ray.com someone said they had a dvd that included the CDS Mix in full bitrate DTS.  From some searching it seems to be the R2 Japan-Geneon Special Edition.

The DVD is unfortunately out of print and I can't find a rip of this specific DVD anywhere.  I messaged the guy on the forum if he would be willing to share but he won't respond.  The DVD looks like this and the picture he posted was of this same DVD.

Anyone have any knowledge of this disc and or have a copy or know of how to obtain this CDS Mix in DTS?  From what I gather it would be one of the best if not the best option for the CDS Mix rather than the AC3.

 

I just bought that R2 Japanese DVD release with FullRate DTS in order to sync the track to the 2015 Blu-ray. And off course for any future 2k/4k releases.

Is there any specific scene where I can find out if it is the CDS mix?

That would be much easier for me to confirm if it is really the CDS track on that disc. Thanks for any help...

Laserdisc Ripping?

Thanks for the fast answer. I will run more tests.

I think the bit-perfect capturing is 99,9% safe, but I will try to capture an AC3 Laserdisc (Shame on me, I don't have a DTS Laserdisc).

 

But the problem is 100% not the analog way of capturing.

When I capture a CD from my Blu-ray player via Toslink, it's the same phenomenon.

The captured WAV via Toslink is shorter than the 1:1 ripped Data WAV from the CD.

That is the ultimate proof that something went wrong during the digital capturing process. 

The question is what really went wrong!? Maybe someone here has the same audio card and could also run a test!?

I have a question about bit-perfect Laserdisc audio capturing:

I use a Soundblaster X-FI Titanium card with the official ASIO drivers and the bit-perfect recording is done by wavelab 6 or reaper. With both programs I get the digital signal.

BUT during my testings I found out something really disturbing/interesting:

I have done another capture of the same Laserdisc sound via analog audio which is definetely in the correct playing time (I see that during the cutting process for an HD Master). 

The incoming digital signal is shorter than it analog counterpart!

I tested this also with a cd on a blu-ray player. The original ripped WAV  is longer than the optical/digital captured signal.

To be exact: In 5 minutes you have a delay of 10ms

Or the captured audio has to be longer with a factor of 0,0033 (period).

Is that a known problem with this audio card? Or the drivers? Or my settings? I really don't know what to optimize...

2 LD Players and 1 BD Player tested. So it is definetely the sound card or the drivers.

I will definetly support the work here with capturing bit-perfect LD audio, but only if it is 100% correct.

Because many users here have used that card for bit-perfect recording I bought that one and figured out that issue. So it has to be the same with everyone else who uses this card!?
