Finished to read (more or less) all the thread, and it seems no one has these ones:
Wizard of Oz - mono + isolated score & effect track
Dirty Harry - is AC3, but the other analog channel is mono, so it *should* be the original mono soundtrack...
Could be interesting to preserve?
Why not just get this Harry http://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/10847/1019-LV/Dirty-Harry-(1971)
It needs fixing, do we have any 35mm scans for reference?
May try for this on Halloween, if I can get it off

The first one won't sync then like I thought
Either way it will not sync, and I read the opposite on there
We have it already it was in a thread of late I forget which and it had its own thread, thinking about it the DVHS is the DC so no way it syncs
So the LD of JGTH is the R rated print? if the first is the same there is an issue as the BD is unrated
Working on getting it perfect but just started a new job will update soon but no way I am taking it down again due to a bad encode from me :)

Is there a high bitrate D-theater version out there?
There is
EDIT just looked and it looks like the ENG version has vanished but there is an ITA version
Yep, it's the one I have... video is untouched, it has just the english soundtrack removed, replaced with italian soundtrack instead.
Does the audio track we have (4.0) sync?
Which audio track in particular are you referring to? I'd like to use the D-Theater video for a preservation project, so I'll search for any interesting soundtracks to add to it.
The LD 4.0 mix

afaik only part 1 was censored in the u.s. the short section can be fixed with the dvd/bd mono audio. though, i don't know if the laserdisc is censored or not. all other movies are uncut.
2 and 7 are cut
Due to the censorship would they even Sync?
This is your second thread on it....
Loving the second one

THat is where our confusion comes from.
No HDTV that looks any better than the HD-DVD
I have always been on the side of the D-theater, think I have a rip somewhere
Ailen needs the D-theatre in the mix
If there is I can't find it
Yet

i'm hearing now that the supposed superior German version that's been a hot topic is exactly the same as the US / UK retail version. no shifting AR, no additional features even though they were all classified by FSK
Nightmare 3 anyone?

Many are discussed in my older thread on a similar topic: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Films-re-color-timed-on-video-releases/topic/15311/
The only big color criticism off the top of my head I have with WB overall is the Superman films which all have teal throughout now on BD for some unknown reason. Additionally the budget for the Donner Cut of II was rather low and the timing was not done on any footage until the final edit and that was done pretty much with modern sensibilities in mind.
Pretty sure the Leone films are wrong on MGM's transfers with FAFDM may be the closest to intended composition and color. Duck You Sucker is very green/brownish and washed out looking. GBU SE is a travesty all around and the 35mm looked washed out.
The modern Bond transfers are all wrong for color. They are no longer of their vintage and were timed to suit modern tastes in many preferences, even on the BD remastered takes on the same masters. That is why the newer releases such as YOLT, OHMSS and DAF have far too much contrast and lack that color depth from Technicolor and vintage non faded Eastman. The new TSWLM master is wonderfully detailed but the color isn't quite right I think--yet a darn sight better than the awful bleaching the film got at the hands of Lowry in 2006.
Lowry also used the wrong vintage grain in the Bond films

The easiest way to do this is continuous distribution, so that the files are stored in many places, and are continually being stored in new places.
If your preservation isn't freely available, it's probably not very well preserved.
Finally! I finally have someone who agrees with me that distribution is necessary for preservation.
Unless, I admit, you have a very good and secure backup system.
But yeah, there are good reasons why even the Internet Archive, the paragon of digital preservation probably, hopes to someday have multiple locations.
If Lowry burnt down (one can only hope) it would set most studios back 4 years plus
