Years ago, I think someone from bluray.com, had given me an original stereo audio for Romancing the Stone synced to the blu-ray. But I'm not sure of its source. Maybe it's LD.
The Bluray audio is awful. I don't know how to tech talk, but it has its high frequencies cut off and sounds heavily filtered and muffled. You're missing eg. the drums in the music etc.
So, since I haven't contributed here at all (only as a donor), is anyone interested here in it? Shall I upload it?
Please understand though, this is not my own project, and in no way I want to take the credit for it.

edit: Ok, I think I found what it was.
It's up at myspleen, and it's a DVD audio, uploaded by Croweyes1121.
So, if anyone wants me to upload it here, let me know.

According to the B-R.com forum, Kino's The Taking of Pelham 123 UHD sports a 5.1 remix and a 2.0 mono downmix of that 5.1: https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php...st20747347

The 2011 MGM BD has a 2.0 (original?) mono, while the 2016 Kino BD has a 2.0 that sounds different: https://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.php?p...tcount=119

Has anyone compared the various BD/DVD/LD/VHS releases to see which original mono sounds the best? I vaguely remember seeing a post around here before but can't find it through site search now.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I synced an AMZN WEB-DL of The Lady Eve (1941) to Criterion's BD.

Here's Blah-ray's coverage: https://blah-ray.blogspot.com/2020/12/la...-1941.html

Looking at the waveforms, I'm pretty convinced that the WEB-DL I found matches the one on Blah-ray:






Notes on the sync:

- The video streams differ in two places:
    1) Opening intros
    2) The WEB-DL has 2 additional frames that's missing from the Criterion BD. This is on a scene cut boundary. (WEB-DL frame #69703, #69704)

- Even after adjusting for both, the two audio tracks still wiggle in and out of sync within 20ms or so throughout the film. So I mostly synced by video, instead of trying to align the audios perfectly.
- I applied an additional delay so that the desync b/w the two audios is mostly within +/- 10ms. Spot-checking a few scenes, I didn't notice any A/V sync issues.
- This is my first amateurish sync involving more than a simple delay. Any feedback and suggestions are most welcome!

Input: E-AC3, 2.0, 224 kbps, 48 kHz, (mediainfo doesn't report a bit depth here)
Output: PCM, 2.0, 2304 kbps, 48 kHz, 24 bits (maybe 16 bits would've been enough?)

PM me for a link.
I also kept the original E-AC3 track, in case anyone is interested in aligning it more accurately to the Criterion track themselves.

Cheers!

I recently inherited a load of (mainly) golden age LD titles from my dad and wondered if anyone here would be interested in them?

I don't have an LD player myself, so they're of no use to me.

I'd have to make a list of the titles, of course, but maybe some could be useful for projects where superior audio is required.

Due to shipping costs I'd only be looking to sell within the UK and I'd prefer to sell in bulk via a courier.

Anyone who's seriously interested please PM me for further details.

Thanks.

Does anyone know of a solution that actually works on video and looks good as well?

I've a project for a new trailer restoration in mind, but one scene has text overlay. This would make using the scene not possible, unless text removal has been gotten better, especially text on faces.

I hope someone can help here.

Thanks

Hello, long-time lurker and just wanted to say Hi. Recently, I have been in awe of how much better Laserdisc soundtracks are to even the most recent UHD remasters, so have been collecting/exploring those.

hello everyone
The British blue ray of Burial Ground - (The Nights of Terror) contains in the extras the 35mm scan of the film.

I had thought that it could be kept, and possibly the film synchronized with other languages.
I have the Italian audio from the blue ray, possibly I could find the one from the dvd and vhs as well.

I know that there is also German laserdisc:

what do you think about synchronizing more audio to this version of the film?

Hi,

Maybe someone has a solution/idea:
I have 30 Video ".bik" files, I would love to merge into one mkv stream without any unneeded reencode, to have one movie to watch without gaps.
The Videos use a strange codec (BlKi or BIKi according to vlc Player) in 1080/24. Maybe a reencode into avc might not be a bad idea.
Audio are two "BAU1" encoded streams in all of the Singular Videos.

Anyone has an idea? Thanks.

Hi, I'm Genemon123 and I've been exploring and learning about film and formats. I have a collection of many of these versions and the learning process has been amazing. I saw that this forum has more of that so I went ahead and registered. I hope to have a good time here
