Topic: Audio IFO Editor on DVDlab??
Link: https://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/156657/action/topic#156657
Time: 20-Nov-2005 12:12 PM

hey all,

Quick question:

there is an option on the Audio IFO editor on DVD-lab for Quantization. I'm curious as to what the setting should be for this. I have the option of 16kbps, 20kbps and 24kpbs I believe (I'm not at home looking at it right now). There is also an option for normalization. Which should I choose???

Use the GUI program that's available for it and it's a piece of cake to do.

I really can't stand BeSweet. It NEVER works for me. I think i need a step by step tutorial from someone actually here because even the ones online don't even work for me.

I do have a question about the IFO editor on DVD-lab for those with knowledge of it. There is a Quantization option which lists various BPS's as well as dynamic range control as an option. Any idea which I should use?

Dynamic Range Control is normally related to AC3 audio, and there is a relationship between The Dialogue Normalisation levels and the RF Overmodulation, which if set wrong can cause the audio to 'pump' on some systems (Only seen it happen on Apple's DVD Player and you could turn off the feature).

HTH or I'm getting mixed up with something else!

Yes, it's the audio IFO editor. I'm not sure which I should set it to. There are 4 options.

BH, what are your sources for the Making of SW and Empire? Just curious cause I've done my own versions.

They are indeed the Japanese remastered laserdiscs.

Ah. It's really too bad about those subtitles. I'd rather take my VHS sourced once (which look great) than having japanese subtitles written all over it.

GAHHH I need a Dual layer burner!! who wants to buy me a christmas present?!

They're really cheap. Mine was (I believe) $40. Very cheap.

You can always burn a single layer version.

BTW, the sync is correct by my eyes. All I have to do is add chapter stops and I'm done.

Update:

Almost done. Just working on the sync for the video and audio of the first disc. Once that's done, both discs are done. Menus are completed, just have to plug them in and finish authoring. I'm hoping to have it up tomorrow night unless the sync turns into more of a problem than it should be.

B.

Oh I have this.

Forgot I even had it.

For those doing the Nightmare 5 stuff, would be cool to add in that extra footage from the laserdisc into the current DVD edition.

Time: 19-Nov-2005 1:37 AM

Hey all,

Here's what I'm trying to do. I have a 5.1 track that needs to match up with the same kbp rate as the rest of the DVD. The rest is 384 and my smaller files are 448. Is there a simple way to re-encode to 384 to match up or do i have to go through the trouble of splitting up the 6 wav files and re-encoding and all that?

Ash,

I'd love to do Superman 3 and Die Hard 3.

Oh...one other thing. I don't know who's making these for you but I would definitely try to NOT use a PCM track for them. Although it's great to have uncompressed sound, the decrease in visual quality (when using a PCM track) is much greater than the decrease in sound quality (when giving the edge to video)...especially with a mono soundtrack.

I came across this post from a Google search for "On The Edge Of Blade Runner". So I registered to reply, heh.

As it happens, there's a full anamorphic, gorgeous transfer of the Original Version available *as we speak* on TPB. It's a 2-DVD edition, which includes a documentary, soundtrack, and a lot of DVD-ROM content. I've seen LD rips before, but this one looks really good - no artifacting, no distorsion and true 16x9 is a bonus.

now... can someone help me finding a good copy of that elusive "On The Edge Of Blade Runner" documentary?

edit: Rikter, dude, I just realized you did one of the TPM vesrions - and an album, as well... Props, man, good work! You should check out this BR version I posted (from a newsgroup source... they're doing "Hearts of Darkness" next)

Strangelove, I could get you a copy of "on the edge." It's in 16x9 but mastered from VHS I believe.

do you use the LD image or the DVD image for your DVD ?

DVD. I got a copy of the Japanese disc which is the only 16x9 version out there. I'll have the original 5.1 track on there as well since (at the moment) there is no 16x9 version of it around. This will be the definitive version of the movie until they decide to release an official one. It will also be dual-layered (the first disc). Second disc is already done and is single layered. I didn't want to release that first becuase I figured people would want both discs together. I will try to get it done ASAP.

I mean I've only uploaded 70 DVD's in the last few years and would like to take a break and download something for a change - actually I'd like to download some of your DVD's

Which is why I'm giving you the chance. I'll do the "making of" specials for Superman. You go download some of mine.

Oh my lord, The Game looks sweet. It's been languishing on barebones DVD for too long, and that's a lot of enticing bonus material. However one could obtain a copy of it, I would thoroughly dig it.

It will be on Myspleen as soon as I'm done.

I have the Trailer in 16x9 Mode from a Warner DVD. That's a start

Which DVD? The Memphis Belle one has it but not sure if it's 16x9. The audio is REALLY low on it. That's all i remember.

Nope. I'm talking about a dual layer version that i can play on my player. Down-rez it to DVD and do a dual-layer.

Everyone says they were doing it but no one responds. Should I just do it myself?

I was also going to upload my versions of the making of the first 2 as well in the next week.
