I’m only messing with the audio right now.

So a quick update. My wrist was hurting like hell today so I didn’t get to spend as much time on this as I wanted to but I messed with it for a bit. Anyways I basically got it all to sync properly from the time Henry leads the guests upstairs to the actual creation portion of the scene. Somewhere in that section it starts to go a bit out of sync so I did some tinkering with that.

Now for the subject of the “God” line. Well not much to say. I decided to use the BD audio again for that section as I did when re-editing Moshrom’s track. Sadly there is no “flawless” way to restore this line but I did the best I could.

Technically some audio is lost during the transition of the creation scene to the scene that introduces Baron Frankenstein. Nothing crucial, just had to drop some audio crackle during the transition/black screen to keep the next scene in sync. Anyways there’s where I’m at presently. I also had gone back and did some adjusting to an earlier section of the film. Hopefully will tackle a bit tomorrow either before and/or after work but until then good night! 😃

Ooooooffff definitely need a break from that! Anyways that bit where I said it goes out of sync around the point that Henry and Fritz come down the stairs took me a bit of time and editing to get right but so far I think it’s coming along ok. Will definitely have more time tomorrow to focus on this but wanted to give a quick update. Anyways have a good day for now everyone! 😉

The standard BDs in the saga set use the 2019 masters while the sold separately standard BDs use the 2011 masters.

Some quick updates. To keep this fresh I started this over completely from scratch including redoing parts one and two (yes I used the VHS audio to fix the transition). I also decide to ‘up’ the LD audios volume to be more on par with the VHS audio. Anyways I basically have it in sync up til when Henry and Fritz come down the stairs to tend to the people at the door. There it’s getting a little tricky but I’m trying some things. Have work during the day tomorrow but hopefully will work on this for a bit tomorrow night. I’ll keep y’all posted! 😉

What’s your opinion on the BD in terms of picture quality?

One of my friends wasn’t a fan of it

For what it is I don’t think it’s bad but then again I sorta miss the grainy and dirt speckled look of the VHS/DVD versions but I understand that’s just not the era were in anymore and that’s fine. My main complaint is the tweaking they did to the sequence of Henry and Fritz pulling the cart with the cadaver up the hill.

I was pretty disappointed in the blu-ray after growing up watching it a bunch on VHS. Really looking forward to what you’re working on.
And if someone could PM me a link to the work already completed I’d greatly appreciate it.

Sent. 😉

So I’m actually in the process of working on my own sync attempt mainly for my own curiosity since I figured out how to manual adjust speed for video and audio tracks in this program I’m using. This isn’t taking anything away from anyone on FanRes who’s contributed to this project, I just wanna see what I’m able to do on my own. Anyways so far I have this.

1. The first few seconds I will be using the VHS audio up to til right after Van Sloan says “How do you do?” to restore some audio crackle at the start of the track missing on the LD audio (I believe I mentioned this in a prior post). After that it cuts to the LD audio.

2. The LD audio more or less syncs up with everything up until the end of the lecture/brain stealing scene where I noticed there’s an edit in the LD audio during the transition to the next scene. I’ll likely fix this with the VHS audio as well.

That’s about all I have for now but I will continue to post! 😉

Sad to hear. RIP OG Boba.

Blame Lucas.

I know. I love George, but he makes it difficult.

He does, he really does.

There used to be that advertisement where they showed the video before and after they applied the DVNR to the full screen video, where the before image looked better.

This one??

I could be remembering this wrong but wasn’t there a shot in ROTJ where the 1993 LD/GOUT changed a laser bolt from red to green or vice versa in one of the battle sequences???

I brought this up in a different thread a few years ago but Luke’s saber in Ben’s hut has a more greenish tint on the ‘95 P&S VHS compared to the WS LD/GOUT. Not sure off hand how it looks on the ‘95 WS VHS.

‘95 VHS (P&S)

GOUT

Not to mention that not only were most of those issues not corrected for the 2000 covers but Leia on the ANH cover was clearly replaced by an image from ESB!

Girl I’ve liked for the last three years just got married. Granted I knew nothing would come of her and I given we live in separate states and the dude she married she’s been with for nearly a decade but still it sucks. That’s life for ya.

Not to mention Leia on the ANH cover being from (I think) ESB.

I believe the UK BD and 4K have it as well though filtered

Not the same as the 2005 mono.

I can send it.

1992 Trilogy

also all of the Dirty Harry movies had major sound effect changes for their DVD and Blu-ray releases

That’s an audio change, not visual. This thread is focussed more on visual changes.

These are a few changes that come to mind. I’m pretty sure these weren’t in any previous mix but if I’m wrong someone can correct me. It’s actually been a while since I last properly heard the 1993 mix.

One of the flashes that lacked a sound effect during the opening shot now has a sound (may have been in the mono), spark noises when the Jawa attaches the restraining bolt to R2 (also maybe from the mono), some laser-like noises added when they come out hyperspace into the remains of Alderaan (right when and after Han says “what the…?”), TIE Fighter laser sounds added to the blasts just before the fighter passes over the Millennium Falcon (before Luke says “it followed us”, I may be confusing this one with the SE), the aforementioned glass noises in the detention block shoot out, different sound to the laserbolt that shoots past Luke after Han says “either I’m gonna kill her or I’m beginning to like her”.

These I know were in or originated from the mono mix but added to the 1993 mix. First there are some additional rumble heard outside the door of the Tantive IV as the rebel soldiers await the stormtroopers (also in the SE). Second the loud mechanized noise heard in the compactor just before Luke resurfaces the final time is hear twice, once about a second or two before the second time but at a lower volume. All other stereo mixes including the SE (to my knowledge) use the effect once.

I also think this may have been the first mix to use a different sound of the explosion of the TIE Fighter shot down by the Millennium Falcon but I could be wrong.

That’s been gone since 2004.

3. a proper restoration of the unaltered scenes isn’t possible

I’m most certain this is not the reason. Yes maybe not 100% from the negative but there definitely enough resources to piece something decent together. Hell the projects of this site basically proves that.
