Hey guys.
First of all, the title is pretty much self explanatory. The exorcism scenes, badly chroma dnr'ed (WTF is that?, seriously), will be replaced with the AI upscaled (the horror!) BD ones, and of course regraded.
I had a divx file of the 1997 DVD version I got from the archive dot org... but I can't find it (I must have accidentally deleted it). It will be helpful if I can get it again, as the 35mm print floating around is not very good (it's, indeed, faded). IMO, besides the exorcism, I don't think the 4K is in need of a regrading. Honestly, it looks good to me.

Now, a question that is bugging me:
I remembered a few years ago, the moviecensorship site, as we all know, great for comparing different versions, mentioned a digital tweak of Regan's mouth somewhere during the exorcism, or a scene right before it. Now is not mentioned anymore? Am I delusional? It would be great if someone could shed some light on this.

Work is in progress!

Hi,

Does anyone have a PCM rip Scarface (1983) LD? Looking to sync it to a Blu-ray and 4k versions.

There is a thread here, with already synced one, but I didn't get any response.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi everyone, pretty new to video restoration but i really love all things i have seen you people do here already!

Apollo 13 (1995) DTS Laserdisc [Japan: PILF-2639]  synced to UHDBD

TS: Original DTS (44.1 kHz / 20-bit) in a TS container
FLAC: 44.1 kHz / 24-bit

Syncing the audio while keeping it as raw DTS turned out to be more work than I expected.

This DTS stream can't be muxed into MKV or similar containers directly, and it also can't be merged as-is. The only way I found was to wrap it in a TS container with tsMuxeR first, then merge it.

The TS file isn't very practical on its own. It's really only useful if you play the video in a player like MPC-BE and load the TS as an external audio track.

also included a FLAC, so that's the one you should use in most cases.

PM me for link.

What year did studios stop using Mono?

What Year did studios stop using Dolby Stereo?

This thread is so that I can see when studios stopped using certain audio formats so I can see if an audio mix on a home video release is the theatrical mix or a remix.

Hey everyone, just joined! Really excited to dive into video restoration and learn from you all.

Hey everyone, just found this site on Google for some Cinema DTS audios and audio sync projects.

Nevermind

Original post talking about the phantom menace theatircal mix:
It can either be from the NTSC VHS, Japanese laserdisc, or a 35mm print. It can also be unsynced.

Since I did a bunch of syncs for Alien, I wanted to do some syncs for the sequel Aliens. So far I have synced the THX PCM and 35mm Optical tracks to the Blu-Ray but If I'm honest I'm not too happy with either tracks. The THX track sounds ok but it is way too loud (so much so I turned it down by 3db since it was very close to clipping) and the Optical sounds fine but the pops and missing sections at the start of reels had to be patched with the BD 4.1 pro-logic downmixed and that wasn't perfect either.

I have access to two Aliens LD caps, one being the THX and the other of the initial CBS FOX LD. Just like the CBS FOX release of the first film the audio on is off-balanced and improperly encoded, however they released a fixed version later the same year with digital audio and allegedly the balance problem is fixed (https://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/53533/). Since there's like a billion Aliens project that have been attempted here I'm curious to see if anyone has attempted to cap this disc and synced it. If anyone has a copy it I will sync it if isn't already.

I found this forum after some google searches for how to fix the audio issues of a dub of one of my favorite childhood movies- one I share with my little girl now. Soooo uuuhhh hi?
