Moth3r, that program seems to be exactly what I need. Thank you so much.

Yeah, Universal still owns H2. So, I don't think we'll be seeing a new SE any time soon unfortunately. How about III? Do Anchor Bay still own the DVD rights, or not?

Yeah, that's crappy isn't it?

Oh well, that means you can finally get 'round to transferring those extras from the LDs, right?

Just kidding.

They're shortly releasing new SEs for Halloween 4 & 5 and finally getting that documentary out there - but Halloween 2 and Halloween 3 are currently owned by different companies I think.

Check out this release schedule for all superman DVDs. It shows that a new Supergirl DVD is being released in Q4 this year.

You might want to remove the link (no direct links to torrents allowed). Just tell people what to search for.

Sounds like a good idea. I'm Australian too and unfortunately the closest thing I have to the OOT is ocpmovie's Classic Editions. I would love for someone to introduce the Moth3r set into Australia. It's a shame that the best PAL transfer isn't circulating here already (especially since we're a PAL country).

On a semi-related note: let's have a show of hands... who's Australian here?

That 'fan-edit' you mention, NeilB... was that the "20th Anniversary" type thing some fans put together? I had that ready to go but realised I couldn't spare the time or bandwidth to grab it.

Knolly, you promised me a copy in the thread for this DVD - but it looks like you've deleted the thread

Do you remember?

Btw, it's great to finally see this finished. It's just a shame I don't have the limited edition soundtrack box.

Time: 9-Jun-2006 5:17 AM

Thank you Gillean. That makes a lot more sense than my idea.

So, now the question is: what is the exact % I need to speed up the audio by (I'd read that it was not 4% but something like 3.987% or something like that)?

And how should I go about doing it (ie. which method/program will allow me to do it while preserving the pitch and retaining quality)?

I am using Audition for this, and while I'm familiar with Photoshop and Premiere, I haven't really experimented with Audition before.

Hi all.

I don't often post in this particular forum, but I am in need of some assistance. I am trying to work on an isolated score track for the "Ghostbusters: We're Ready to Believe You" project. I've run into the problem of the tracks not synching properly. Now, I've lined up 3 or 4 tracks perfectly for their starting point, however, they progressively fall out of sync. I've reasoned that this is because the DVD audio track that I am using as a base is from the PAL DVD.

Am I right in that the way to get around this would be to time-stretch the DVD audio to the equivalent 24fps runtime? Since that is the film standard, and the PAL DVD is sped up by around 4% (it's not time-compressed). Then, using that stretched audio as a base, sync the tracks of the score and then when I'm done stretch the completed track to the 25fps runtime? This would cause pitch problems and audio artifacts wouldn't it? Is there a way to do this without sacrificing audio quality?

I know most of you deal in NTSC, but the project is going to be PAL. I am capable of synching the tracks to the audio - but there's no point doing that unless I'm doing it correctly. I would really appreciate any feedback. Are the people who created the isolated score tracks for the IsoMix and Editdroid discs around? I know they were working with an NTSC disc - but did that involve speeding up and/or slowing down audio?

Thanks in advance.

I know you're probably a very busy man and don't have too much time to update the Legacy Edition site. However, I've enjoyed reading through it and perhaps when I get a new computer next year I may start following your documentation and have a go at this for myself. Everything you've done looks great. Just wanted to let you since you say that's the spirit of the project.

I have the PAL R4 DVD; the first release. I will start work on the isolated score but I really need a CD-R or lossless FLAC files of the official SOUNDTRACK CD. I have the official Varese CD release of the score - what I don't have is the 1980's soundtrack. If somebody can PM me about that then I can do a complete isolated score track.

I'm looking forward to several releases from that list: the JAWS ones mostly.

Will you be releasing them as DVDs with menus? Or just DVDs without menus? Just curious as to how you're going to present them, that's all. Thank you for digging through your stuff

Why would you use a fullscreen version of the film as opposed to widescreen? Is it because the TV Cut you have is fullscreen?

Spyder, you will want to get VirtualDubMod (I use this and I'm guessing that the "Streams" menu is a feature specific to this version of VirtualDub). Once you get it, click on the "streams" menu and then "stream list". You should see a dialog box where you're able to save the audio/video streams.

I don't know of any other source. I have one single issue in storage. When I manage to get some money I plan on collecting them all. I saw the Ghostbusters 2 one on ebay recently and almost bought it thinking I could offer up a scan for this project (which I can't wait to see finished btw).

I would love to help contribute an isolated score (I have the official score CD) but I don't have the NTSC version of Ghostbusters. I also used to have a CD-R of the bootleg score (which might contain material not available on the commercial CD but I doubt it) and unfortunately I don't own the official song soundtrack CD. If I had that CD and the NTSC Ghostbusters I'd love to do an isolated score for you to provide on the DVD as a DVD-ROM extra which people could then author onto backups of their own official Ghostbusters DVDs.

It's true that you don't have to rename them. I usually deal with consecutive numbering though (output from a digital camera), and I think if they're numbered you can have Vdub select them automatically (useful for me as I have many files to join at times).

The AVIs would have to be similarly encoded (ie. codec, bitrate, resolution, etc) for you to be able to join them. What I recommend you do is:

* Use VirtualDub to retrieve the 2nd audio streams from the two files that have 2 streams.
* Join these 2 audio streams together with an audio program suitable to the audio type.
* Rename the 4 AVI files with consecutive numbering in their filename. This will allow you to join the 4 AVI's together with VirtualDub's "append segment" feature.
* (Assuming that works,) You can then open the new concatenated AVI file in VirtualDub and use the audio tools to mux in the now-joined 2nd audio stream.

I could be off on this. It depends on if the AVIs can be joined and what the case is with the audio filetypes and such.

I'm interested in this (as well as the Ep III game DVD), however I can't spare bandwidth on this account. So I can't really download any of the wonderdul recent DVDs. I received a copy of your Sith Revealed disc and thought it was an interesting approach to showing the "behind the scenes. I would be interested in getting all of your discs but I can't download them and can't handle a trade at the moment. I just wanted to post so that you know there are people out here interested in your work (even if they don't post and say 'thanks' or 'congratulations').

A lot of these suggestions (if not all), reequire that the video be DVD-compliant. I tried the DVDAuthorGUI method but was unsuccessful.

After that, I went into Premiere and output a DVD-compliant video file. Then I used Muxman to mux the video with the 2 ac3 files. So, now that it's a VOB, how do I change it to an MPG without losing the 2nd audio stream?

And thank you all for your help.
