I would guess it wouldn't take much to re-sync it with the new versions once they hit as long as they don't change any of the frames.  Perhaps something as little as a small offset.  

I saved the 6 wav channels (and backed them up too!) from the original project so if a re-encode is necessary it can be done easily.  

Universal can keep their stupid 7.1 remix as long as we get a re-mastered image.  If the trailer I saw in front the Last Stand this weekend was any sign of things to come, we're in for a beautiful new transfer in 3D at least, but we can hope for 2D too!

I'm curious to see the specs for the DCP once it hits cinemas too.  I'll be taking a very close listen to the mix at my local cinema.

Thanks GregK!  Jurassic Park is my favorite film.  Having owned many different versions of it on video, I've become very familiar with the mix.  When I first heard the 7.1, I knew it was wrong.  Not bad, just wrong.

Thanks again to everyone who helped me and all of us realize this dream.  I'm curious to see if Universal uses the original 5.1 or a remix for the upcoming 3D re-release.  One thing is for sure: the trailer's 2D image looks to have improved vastly over the Blu-ray video master.  With any luck, we'll get a nice, new Blu-ray as well!  

Looking forward to 20 years of Jurassic Park!  Life will find a way...

Just got a chance to watch 2.0 last night.  I watched it twice it was so enjoyable.  Great work all around!  Thanks Harmy!  Can't wait to see what happens with 2.1 as well as Empire and Jedi.

This is just unbelievably great work.  Very thankful and grateful. 

Any updates on whether or not Empire and Jedi are floating around?  I listened to Harmy's DeEd 2.0 the other night with this and it's just wonderful!

All,

Sorry for not chiming in earlier.

I do have the DTS audio for the 97SE of ANH, but honestly, have not had the time to work on it.  Work has gotten extraordinarily busy and I may not get a chance for at least a week.  I'll do my best to get cracking on ripping it.

I also had to do a fresh install of my OS, and I'm still piecing my apps back together.  

Stay tuned...

Cinema DTS is an entirely different thing than any home version. They have no relation other than name. 

I really don't have any knowledge of the AD, other than it was a full cinema processor, akin to say a Dolby CP-500 (optical processing as well as digital), whereas the DTS-6 and 6D were digital processors only that needed to be connected to a cinema processor.  From all the stories I heard, the 6AD was a lousy cinema processor.

It does sound good for analog alright!  I'm not entirely familiar with the film's mix, so I can't say how "correct" it is, but streaming to my Apple TV and decoding it into Pro-Logic II, it's wonderfully rich.  I did have to crank the fader way up to get a decent level though.  

That is certainly very exciting!

I should have waited.  Not familiar with this site but according to their inventory, they have both the Empire and Jedi I mentioned above:

Released at the same time as the subject of this topic:

Empire: http://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/31581/PILF-1318/Star-Wars:-The-Empire-Strikes-Back-(1980)

Jedi: http://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/31582/PILF-1265/Star-Wars:-Return-of-the-Jedi-(1983)

Do we know anything about the tracks on these discs?  According to LDDB, they do both contain digital sound.

Whew, my head is spinning after looking at that list.  What a body of work! 

Fascinating thorr!  Keep up the good work.

I'd also love to see -1's trailer!

I tried muxing Thorr's trailer as an AVCHD this time and running it on my Blu-ray player...still no dice.  Looks like I'm going to need to upgrade sooner than I thought.  It's a Sony BDP-S370 and typically plays anything I throw at it.

Just a question though, why is it encoded at 47.952048 instead of 23.976?

This is fantastic work.  Unbelievable.  

Played great through VLC, but my Sony Blu-ray player didn't like it.  VLC said it was running at 48fps, perhaps that's what the Sony didn't like.

If anyone comes across any old DTS cinema trailer discs from late 96-97, check to see if this is listed on it.  If so, I can rip it and we could get 5.1 for it!  I'll keep my eyes peeled.  I have quite a few old trailer discs, but they all date after the year 2000. 

:(

Speaking of Criterion LDs...anyone heard Ghostbusters?  I recently saw a 35mm showing and the 2 channel Dolby Stereo was the best I've ever heard it.  I'm curious to know if the Criterion release has that same mix on it.

The DTS-6 can be made to play discs without film.  If you wanted to record from it, you'd need a proprietary analog cable (DB25) and a 5 channel recording mechanism.  I really don't think it'd be worth doing things that way.

Also, I can encode DTS-MA or Dolby TrueHD, but DTS-MA is much easier work with and the app itself is far easier to use.  

Changeover cues!  Are they going to be kept or somehow edited out? Now it REALLY feels like film. :)

Neato!  That shouldn't be a problem at all.  

I'd be very interested in any lossless option. Can they be synced to the de-specialised editions?

Looks like TPM is moving forward.  Thanks Jetrell Fo, ElDonate, and Adywan for their work!

WOOT!

Wait, we have the entire OT?

Either way, giddieup!!!

Working on TPM as we speak!

Anyone else watching this today?  I sure am!  Happy 19th Jurassic Park!

Early on in the digital sound days, many theaters did have multiple digital formats because each studio was supporting either one or some but not the other.  Eventually, many studios started supporting the QUAD format: Dolby Digital (plus Dolby SR optical), DTS, and SDDS on one print.  Why they didn't do this earlier is beyond me, and to this day some prints still do not do this.  DTS would start out as the dominant format because it was much cheaper to implement, but eventually, Dolby surpassed it.  AMC Theatres for awhile only supported SDDS, which was an absolutely terrible move considering the equipment reliability and the fact that it was the format that had the least amount of market share.  Many argue, however, when it did work, it was in fact the best sounding format available.  Seeing Titanic in SDDS is definitely an experience I've never forgotten.
