Does anyone have Seven Brides for Seven Brothers LD?

I’m looking for the original 4.0 audio track (Cinemascope)

I was about to start a Batman TAS Blu-ray rewatch, but then I remembered that there were audio noise reduction problems in the following episodes:
•S01E31 - The Cape and Cowl Conspiracy
•S02E04 - Avatar
•S02E05 - House & Garden
•S02E07 - Harlequinade

Particularly 'The Cape and Cowl Conspiracy' suffers strongly from that unmistakable "underwater" sound. The DVD tracks do not suffer from excessive noise reduction.

I synced the R1 DVD tracks of the four episodes to the BD. AviSynth (TIVTC) & VirtualDub2 was used for visual aid. The AC-3 version was synced without transcoding by inserting silent AC-3 frames, but it's less precisely timed than the FLAC version because of the 32ms frame duration. DialNorm was removed via eac3to.

It sort of occurred to me recently that despite the many discussions out there for the audio mixes on the first Alien movie and how people have determined the many oddities surrounding the final Dolby mix and the Sensurround mix and whatnot, but has anyone ever really dissected the mixes for Aliens?

I've always heard a lot about the 6-track 70mm mix for Aliens being really powerful (making heavy use of its Baby Boom track)...

https://ifi.ie/70mm-jargon-buster/ Wrote:Based on our experience with the Aliens 70mm print (playing on July 21st) when it ran at the IFI some years ago, the film will have a 6 channel Mag Track soundtrack, as the print was manufactured at the time of the movie’s release in 1986, many years before digital came along.  As this is James Cameron we are talking about, the Aliens sound mix is particularly excellent and famous for its aggressiveness and all round use of bass – which anybody who saw it here in 2011 will remember!  We have since installed a new subwoofer, so…good luck everybody!  As of writing we don’t have the print in house yet, so we can’t confirm it’s the exact same one from our previous shows or attest to its condition (either way it will be from 1986 or around that period).  Once its arrived and has been tested we can fill you in a lot more.

Does anyone have Tucker: The Man and His Dream LD PCM?

I’m looking for the Dolby Stereo mix:

To whom it does not know: the home 7.1 channel movie releases include Blu-ray and UltraHD Blu-ray as physical media, and web streaming and download; there were no DVD, LD or other media AFAIK; albeit on theaters there were two 7.1 formats - SDDS with left, left extra, center, right extra, right, surround left, surround right, LFE, and Dolby Surround 7.1 with left, center, right, surround left, surround right, surround back left, surround back right, LFE - only the latter channel configuration is used at home. Not sure about DTS 7.1 and if any movie release in DCP used the SDDS speaker configuration. From now on, 7.1 = Dolby configuration - three screen channels, four surround channels, plus LFE.

OK, back on track: if a title had not a 7.1 (or immersive sound) theatrical release, the home version with 7.1 is not faithful to the theatrical mix, hence the extra back surround channels were created using the left and right surround (and back center when available on 6.1 releases).

According to Blu-ray stats - http://www.blu-raystats.com/Stats/Stats.php (yes, I know it's not updated, but I have found only this for now) there were (up to around March 2018) 839 releases with 7.1 channels, or 6.61%; only 0.46% with 6.1, around 70% with 5.1 and 5.0, 12% stereo and 6% mono; until now more 7.1 releases came - as well as with other audio tracks, in particular Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, so I guess the percentage would be not noticeably different.

I made my homework, and according to some sources, there are around 800 titles on BD/UHD-BD with 7.1 track - remember, that 839 was referred to releases, with multiple ones referring to a single title.

Less than 250 of them were released in theaters with immersive sound (Dolby Atmos, DTS:X or Auro3D) and around 50 exclusively on Dolby Surround 7.1; then, about 500 titles have "created" back surround!!!

Of these 500:

• a dozen or so had 6.1 theatrical release
  
• at least 200 were released prior 2010, when Dolby Surround 7.1 came out
  
• the others may have used DCP 7.1 theatrical mix
  

Quote:There are almost no instances of 7.1 content that is produced that way for the movie.  The so-called 7.1 Blurays take the original 5.1 movie mix and use a matrix method to generate the additional Back Surround channels.

Quote:We may on occasion generate a 7.1 if the film has only been mastered in 5.1 (that usually just some minor re-channeling)

Quote:Smith employed DTS Neural Upmix software to remix "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" from 5.1 and other elements to 7.1 for BD release this year

Quote:Steven Spielberg's 1975 hit will come home in "digitally remastered and fully restored" form with an upmixed 7.1 DTS-HD MA soundtrack

The 5.1ch track is the original mono in Center + mono M&E spread over L-R-LFE-SL-SR. I just simply downmixed the M&E to 1 channel.

Alright, so I'm curious about combining the recent remaster of Babylon 5 with an upscaled DVD.
I've seen both and did a little test.
https://ibb.co/LzzJ9qG
I wanted to see exactly what the two would look like together, and did a very crude stack of two screenshots.
One is an upscale of the DVDs, the other is from a rip of the remaster.
I'd need to color time both, and add grain.
I know Topaz can denoise them, and I tried to tint the screenshots to match, with no luck.
They also seem to be at different exposures, which is good.
But I'm also curious, how well can I hide the border between the 4:3 image, and the 16:9 image, If I wanted this to be palatable in 16:9.
Also, what frame stacking tools are available?

The English subtitles on my UK set are SDH/HoH only. Does anyone have the subs from the US disc in PGS format and could kindly share it?

Apologies for not being an audio request.
