thanks, i got it. but you may want to remove any spaces in the file name, so that the d-link works without problems.

So, if someone with the US DVD would like to share his english DD 5.1 soundtrack, I could avoid to do the conversion from 25fps to 23.976fps - and avoid some kind of audio quality loss too!
pm send
i finished the subs syncing. will add the dl-link later.
here are my synced english subtitles

was the dts lfe on goldeneye also overblown? i hated it on the ac3 ld.
is there any news regarding the criteiron ld audio for goldfinger, dr. no and from russia with love?
sure, if your copy is in good shape and capture quality is good, then we have something until we get our hands on the ld audio :)
thanks mate.

i don't know about the player, but the trilogy alone is worth it. grab it!!!
i wasn't aware of dvdmike's project. for me i'm mostly interested in preserving the original audio. but his project sounds pretty good :)
matrix hd-dvd and bd are the same.
i have the jap release and pretty happy with it.
well, to be fair... the old mpeg2 bd is currently the best hd release of the movie. the uh-version should be avoided unless one does prefer a perfectly waxy, erm i mean clean picture.
the blu-ray is main video source. the theatrical cut scenes will be taken from the hd broadcast. if possible i try to keep the video untouched as much as possible. meaning no re-encode for the most part of the movie. only the re-inserted theatrical scenes would be encoded to vc-1 and then joined.
there are options to do this, which will be tested upfront. if i can't get it to work, the whole movie will be re-encoded to avc.
here is a comparison of the japanese vs the german blu-ray.
in terms of detail the jap is a clear winner. but the picture is too bright. the german release wins in this regard.

Without making one... yet...
This is the only one I could find already made.
why put the criterion logo on it? criterion would never touch the 5.1 upmix. if they ever would return for hard boiled, we probably would get the japanese video with proper color correction and a lossless cantonese mono audio track.
it would probably easier to include the audio from signature collection dvd. though, i think that the 5.1 audio from the blu-ray used the same source files as the 5.1 on the ld and old dvd.
the movie has a soft spot in my movie heart. it’s not the greatest movie ever made, but it has many things to like. besides, the cast is full of a who-is-who. unfortunately warner bros. decided with the release of the extended cut on dvd, that the original theatrical version is no longer existent for home video. i had a little bit hopes that with the blu-ray release we get to choose which version we want to view. nope, we only got the extended cut.
for some time now i wanted to restore the theatrical cut, but i was lacking a high quality source for the audio. but now i’m able to do so, with the help of a few folks.
source to be used in this project
blu-ray
hd broadcast capture as the foundation of the theatrical cut - special thanks to jj666
ntsc laserdisc for the pcm audio - special thanks to bendermac
unless someone has a better source then the hd broadcast version i have, please let me know, i’m going to start this project.
i want to start a preservation of the original mono mix the great escape, because this mix not included on the blu-ray. for this project i have the old u.s. dvd which contains the mono mix in dolby audio. but a full preservation would could only be achieved by using the uncompressed audio, which can be found on the criterion laserdisc.
so anyone can help me getting the laserdisc audio, this would be very much appreciated.
thanks in advance
dts 2.0 never worked for me. my amplifier wont properly decode it, as i always only get a stereo output. even blu-ray authors say that dts 2.0 can create problems at the end user level, like i have.
best option is to simply stay pcm for 2.0 (incl. matrix encoded audio) sources. file size is mostly not even relevant. pcm ensures the highest compatibility.
btw, if you use .dtshd files with tsmuxer/mkvtoolnix make sure to add a -21ms delay. you can also add the delay in eac3to and then you can add the new .dts in tsmuxer/mkvtoolnix without problems
this delay only applies to dts-hd files. normal dts core can just be added without any delay.
i don't have these laserdiscs. would the thx wow be good enough? if yes, what do i need to look for in the comparison?

So does anyone know if there is an English dub for Hard Boiled?
Thanks
Its available on the criterion edition and on the english variations also available remixed to 5.1.
are you sure? on my cc laserdisc is no english audio and according to dvdcompare there is no english dub on it either.
nevermind, for some reason i've read the killer and not hard boiled. i have the fox lorber dvd and could provide the english dub if needed.
yeah, i indeed used the u.s. blu-ray.
i have a blackmagic intensity extreme and shuttle as capture devices.
